Capital Segway

Capital Segway tours depart from 818 Connecticut Ave. N.W. Two-hour tours allow visitors to see downtown and the National Mall area from a Segway, a two-wheeled personal transportation device. In order to teach participants how to operate the machines, a short training video is shown, followed by a brief demonstration. Riders wear an earpiece so they can hear the guide's commentary about buildings along the route. A steady pace is maintained, but a break is offered. The route covers sidewalks, bike lanes and streets.

Note: Pregnant women are not permitted to take the tour. Participants must weigh less than 266 pounds.

Guided tours are available.
