What a wonderful way to see the monuments around DC. The Segway was easy to learn and the tour leader gave excellent instructions. We were able to practice prior to the tour. I loved being able to get close to the monuments. It was great not to get too feet weary and enjoy all what DC has to offer in the Mall Area Our Tour Guide, Will,was great!

Segway tour for the Win!

Emily_W, Oct 2026
The segway tour was a highlight of our trip to Washington DC. It was fun as well as neat to see all of the monuments. John and Will did an excellent job of navigating us through some road construction, always keeping us safe. They provided information both about the monuments as well as history about other places we went by. We went to the OLD EBBITT'S GRILL because of their highlight and it was also a great addition to our travels. I would recommend this Segway tour to any person I know traveling to DC that is physically able to ride one. I'm not sure of the age requirements, but I'd say it's not for anyone under 13 or anyone that has difficulty with balance. Thanks guys! We loved it!

Easy way

Fun ride & Guide to the Sights

Jo_R, Jul 2026
It is so much better than walking around DC. We learned a lot of fun and historical facts. You definitely get your money’s worth. Wish they offer complimentary water.

Great guide

Jodie_C, Jul 2026
Our gudie was very good with knowledge of Washington. Very safe and easy to control. If you are interested in monuments and war remeberance statues, you will like it. USA is a very your country so most of the buildings are less than 250 years old and they have been refurbished or repaired.

Capital segway

stella_p, Jul 2026
Went with another couple. Had a great time. Way better to get around than walking. Probably would not have been able to all this in one day unless by car. They took us by most popular spots. I like that they had bag on front to put purse and water bottle. It was hot and definitely needed to bring water. They offered water for $2 which is super cheap. Will was a great guide, had a great day with him. He was very knowledgeable, patient, nice, and glad he helped us. Loved riding the Segway. I was the only one out of group that's ever done it before but they provided great instructions and nobody had an issue. Definitely would recommend capital Segway for a different experience

Highly Recommend

Our tour guide Kyle was very friendly and patient. He was able to weave us all safely and efficiently around all of the construction. He delivered a very informative and enjoyable experience. Highly Recommend!

Segway Tour

Carolyn_A, Jul 2026
Great way to learn about the city. So much fun. We stopped as a few spots and were given a lot of info about everything.

Amazing Tour with John!!!

Lisa_H, Jul 2026
This was an amazing experience. Jon did an amazing job teaching us how to properly use the Segway‘s and giving us confidence that we could operate on our own owns. The tour itself was amazing as well. John had us laughing and gave us so much information about each thing that we were seeing. I would highly recommend this to her to anyone who does not have all the time to walk to each location.

Arrive 30 mins early

Duane_C, Jul 2026
Start time should be the actual time required to show up, don’t sneak in a 30 minute requirement to appear before the start time.

Highly recommend!

Tracy_L, May 2026
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Kyle. He was professional and knowledgeable. Neat way to see the sights!

Outstanding Tour and lots of fun

Jrturley, May 2026
Very easy access. We came from the Metro station and it was right around the corner. Met immediately by Brandon who welcomed us as gave us a quick tutorial on the Segway and we were ready to hit the streets! What an incredible way to see so much of the city landmarks and monuments. Was paced very well with chance for a break and water! It’s hot in DC! Good information and history of the city as we went along. Just the right amount of information and time! Brandon was SUPER and would highly recommend!

So Much Fun — Brilliant Way to See DC

Mark_L, May 2026
Absolutely brilliant experience and so much fun! We got the hang of the Segways really easily and it was a fantastic way to see Washington DC. Brandon was an excellent guide — friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole tour really enjoyable. We covered loads of the main sights and learned plenty along the way. One of the highlights of our USA trip visiting from Scotland. Highly recommend!
