My daughter (16/hard to pleasešŸ˜) and I did the Segway night tour of the mall. It was just perfect! The weather was warm and humid and the Segwayā€™s helped create a breeze and kept us comfortable. Absolutely the BEST and quickest way to see the Mall!!!!! We only had two days to catch the highlights of DC. Alli was our guide. She was very sweet and patient with lots of good information. She took pictures of us and we had so much fun!! By far my daughters favorite thing we did in DC!!! And Iā€™d definitely recommend this tour!!

My tour guide was Calle and she was wonderful. I got to see all of the national mall except the korean war memorial and world war 2 memorial. It was a wonderful way to see the major sites without walking the whole mall.

We did the Segway tour with Keely and I feel so lucky that we got her. She was full of great knowledge and fun facts about the sites we visited and had such a clear way of communicating. It really made all the difference because a couple in our group were English as a second language, but they had no trouble understanding her. Aside from all great info she gave, she also had really solid practical tips for getting around town and some great food and drink recommendations as well. She looked after our group so well and it seemed like she really cared. Id be happy to go on tour with her again! Thanks Keely!
