Segway tours are one of the most popular ways to see all of the sites in Washington DC.

There are a lot of advantages to a segway tour. One of the best things about them is that you will cover a lot of ground with minimal physical exertion.

And Segway tours are just a lot of fun! What could be better than riding around the city on a quick and nimble segway?

There are several companies that offer a DC Segway tour and below we give a quick description of the cost and benefits of each.

Though all of these companies offer private group tours, we have focused the below information on their public tours.

Rules and Requirements

All of these DC Segway tour companies require riders to wear a helmet and will not accept riders under 16 years old.

Riders must also be over 100 lbs and under 250 lbs. People with health or balance problems are encouraged not to take these tours.

While walk-ups are generally accepted at these companies, it is always better to book in advance as the tours often sell out.

The following section will cover each of the major segway tours you can take during the day in Washington, DC.

We will include information about ticket prices, tour lengths, and some of the sites you will see on each trip.

Capital Segway Tours

This company offers a 2 ½ hour public tour that focuses on the Eastern end of the Mall and cruises down Pennsylvania Avenue.

On this outing, you will see more museums than monuments, but you can expect to learn about at least 25 historic or notable buildings.

Wireless audio headsets allow everyone to hear the guide’s narration and discover more about the history of Washington, DC.

• $75 per person
• Availability: Daily
• Hours: This tour runs multiple times throughout the day.
• Duration: 2 ½ hours

Capital Segway also offers a tour after dark that you can learn about in our night tours section.

Tour groups can include as many as 12 guests.

Unlimited Biking

Although they are definitely better known for their bike tours, this company also offers a DC segway tour.

This outing is a general overview, providing a look at the National Mall and covering locations such as the White House, the Capitol Building and the Lincoln Memorial.

Guests will be provided with all the safety gear necessary and given instruction on how to use a segway.

There is a maximum of 8 people allowed per tour.

Their office is located near the National Mall at L’Enfant Plaza in the North Building.

This company is best known for a variety of bike tours they offer in Washington DC, but they also provide this segway tour that covers some of the most notable attractions in the area.

You can expect to visit locations such as the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and many other important historical landmarks.

Guests will receive helmets and other safety gear necessary to protect yourself and a small pouch to keep your belongings for the duration of the tour.

As with the other services, they limit this segway tour to groups of just 8 people at a time. Their offices are near the wharf just south of the National Mall.

City Segway Tours

This company is currently closed.

Each of the segway tour companies listed above also offers tours after dark, but some outings run later than others. 

All tours cover the same sites as they would during the day, so there’s nothing new or different about these services.

The main advantage is the opportunity to see major monuments and landmarks lit up after dark!

The 2 ½ hour tour provided by this company is also available at 6:30 pm or 7:30 pm depending on the day of the week.

It's essentially the same as their daytime tour, but offered during the evening instead.

If you want to enjoy the sunset and see DC as the lights come on, this is an excellent option.

• Ticket Prices: $75 per person

• Hours: 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm

This company provides their 2 ½ hour segway tour at 6 pm (ending at 8:30 pm) from March 23rd - November 2nd. Depending on when you take the trip, this may be more of a sunset tour than a night tour.

• Ticket Prices: $64 per person
• Hours: 6 pm
