Visiting Washington on a sunny spring day made walking around the sight of the Mall hard work (20,000 steps before lunch) and we were only half way down the Mall. The Segway tour, with Paul as our guide, was a great way to cover the distance to the rest of the sights and we we able to visit the Capitol, Washington Monument and Lincoln memorial in a 2 hour session. Training was quick and Paul was supportive throughout the tour. Having been on Segway tours in Prague and Bucharest, the Washington Sites by Segway Tour was the best of them.
