What To Expect

Washington DC

Arrive 15 minutes prior to start time to check-in and sign a waiver. We'll start with a bit of training to introduce you to the joy of riding a Segway. Your guide will provide one on one training before letting you test ride for a bit before setting out on tour.

Smithsonian Institution Building

Stop outside of "The Castle", the original Smithsonian Building and learn about the founder, John Smithson. Find out why he donated his estate to the United States although he'd never stepped foot on American soil during his life... (We will not enter The Castle)

National Mall

We'll spend much of the tour riding along the National Mall where your guide will point out Smithsonian Museums and orient you with "America's Front Yard".

Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Pass by the Hirschhorn Museum

Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Ride by Natural History. Plan to pop in during your DC stay to see the Hope Diamond!

National Air and Space Museum

This museum is one of the world's most visited! Stop in while you're in DC to find out why!

National Gallery of Art

Ride between the East and West buildings. Which would you rather see? Classic art or Modern art? Your guide can point you in the right direction!

Ulysses S. Grant Memorial

Take a short break here (we don't want you to get "Segleg"!) and learn about the famed Civil War general.

U.S. Capitol

Stop outside the US Capitol Building and learn about the design and function of the site where members of the House and Senate convene. Do you know who sits atop the Capitol? What does it mean when the flags are flying? (We will not go into the Capitol)

Newseum

See the newspapers from various states and countries, which are updated and posted every single day.

Learn about the controversial design and some of the symbolism behind one of the most solemn memorials in DC. If you shed a tear while your guide is sharing information, you'll be in good company. It's difficult not to get emotional during this stop.

Lincoln Memorial

Your guide will tell you all about the memorial dedicated to our first President before you climb the steps to see Abe sitting atop and take in the sweeping views of the entire National Mall.

Korean War Veterans Memorial

If you visit without a guide, you'll likely miss much of the symbolism hidden behind the memorial dedicated to "the Forgotten War".

Two hours before our scheduled Segway tour, we received alerts on our phones stating that severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect for the next couple of hours starting at 4pm. I called the Segway company and stated that I was visiting and wanted to know what are the next steps after hearing the weather report. They stated that they’ve been following the weather reports and the timing of the storm continued to change, so they will move forward. If it rains, decisions will be made based on the time the rain started and how far along we are on the tour. Our Segway tour was set for 6:00pm. At around 5:45pm, we saw stratus clouds and heard thunder. I called the company again and they stated that their policy said I must cancel 24 hours in advance, and as for them the tour was still going to occur. We proceeded to head towards the start of the tower when severe winds surfaced(Please not that all of this occurred before our set time of 6pm to start the tour).Thankfully, we ran for cover under a building. We stood there for 15 minutes watching the strong winds and the pounding rain. When the rain slowed down, we ran to our car. I called the company back and the woman stated that the tour already started. I explained in the nicest way possible why that was impossible. I asked for a refund and she stated that they can only give me a voucher or reschedule me for the next available date. I asked for a manager. At that point, she stated that she’ll give me an email address to file a claim for the refund. To sum it all up, it appears that the workers are given a script to follow and refuse to use logic and reason when speaking to customers. The proof was in the pudding(torrential storms right outside their windows), but they continue to lie. The goal was to say everything on their script and offer no compensation. Please try out a different company. They could have been more understanding.

This was really fun. My only complaint was that we spent a long time training and setting up (including accommodating someone who changed her mind and needed a scooter instead, which then didn’t work out). We didn’t leave until almost an hour after the start time which meant we were in a hurry throughout the tour.

It is a great way to get around the city and see the sights. But the tours need to be longer to be able to have time to see monuments and get pics. So you have to make a mental note of what you want to see more of to go back to it later...
