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!

Our tour guide Zach was awesome. He took his time with each of us to instruct us on how to ride the segway and made sure we were completely comfortable before we left. He was super friendly and proffesional. At the sites we stopped at he gave us very interesting facts and allowed us to walk about on our own for 15 or so minutes. I would definitely recommend this tour for families with teenagers, mine loved it.

We had a visitor from Germany who wanted to see DC and this was the highlight of her trip! It was a lot of fun, and we were able to cover so much more ground than had we been on foot or in a car. The guide was wonderful, and we had a blast!
