Awesome.
Our guide was John. He was knowledgeable and humorous. A quick orientation on the Segway and off we went. They are easy to ride. Stopped at a couple of places for a walk around. Earpieces were provided so you could always hear the guide. A great way to get your bearings.

Great tour!
Evan did a great job giving us details about the monuments and the area. We had been to Washington DC before and this was a great way to learn more about it without having to walk for miles to do it!
via Viator
Come for the tour, learn to ride a segway
I was nervous about riding a Segway but the orientation was great. This was a fun way for the family to tour National Mall in DC for first time. And I learned how to ride a Segway.
via Tripadvisor
Great tour!
Had a tour with John. He was very engaging, funny and attentive. Orientation is given on the Segway before you take off. You wear an earpiece so you can easily hear the guide. Covered a lot of the landmarks and the segways are fun. Just book it!

Why this scores 92
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Washington DC.
How much does Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Washington DC usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Washington DC is not rushed.
Is Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 2,054 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Washington DC, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour?
+
Around 719 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Washington DC can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Washington DC and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Washington DC within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Washington DC?
+
Washington is the rare city where the headline attractions cost nothing and the scarce resource is access. Timed entry to the Smithsonian museums, Capitol and White House tours, and the night monument runs by bike or bus are what fill up. Our ranking rewards operators who secure the passes themselves rather than telling you to sort it out at the door. On Outty we rank every Washington DC experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arlington Cemetery Small-Group Tour & Changing of the Guards, Washington DC Small-Group Sightseeing Experience, Small Group National Mall Night Tour with 10 Top Attractions. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Washington DC?
+
Late March to April for cherry blossom, or September to November for cool museum weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Washington DC?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour?
