Anyone done a Segway Tour in Washington DC?

We're headed to DC in September and spending three days there before starting a roadtrip.

I thought I would look at doing a Segway tour to have a quick zoom round on the first day before heading back to look in more detail later.

Just wondered if anyone had done a tour and could recommend a company. They all seem to get good reviews but there seems to be a difference in focus of the tours.

Anyone?

Not been on one but was in DC a couple of weeks back. They did look very cool! On the downside is that the sights are all within easy walking distance so it may not really be necessary?

We did want the experience of the Segway as well really so that is the main reason!

Ive been on a Segway and theyre not as easy to use as they appear! Quite fun though. Stopping is er interesting..

And dont try to go up any hills and not push yourself forwards enough like I did...

However, I think it could be a good idea because we walked round the main sights in a day and it got pretty tiring by the end, there was a LOT of walking. We did walk to Arlington Cemetary though, so we should have really got a taxi there.

We did one in June with City Segway and it was great. Booked it through Viator (just seemed easier to book in advance in £) guide was fab

I know this s completely not what you want but it is a great way to see a city http://www.freetoursbyfoot.com/dc/. I did a couple of tours in Philly earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe as well as if not instead of a Segway tour.

Have a great trip!
