Important Notes

Your safety is always our highest priority, therefore each of our tours begins with a 30-minute orientation session. We will practice on the Segways until everyone feels comfortable and is ready to conquer DC. The Segway is appropriate for virtually anyone 16 and older that weighs 100 pounds or more. Anyone suspected of being under the influence of alcohol will not be permitted to ride. Unfortunately, pregnant women will not be permitted to participate. Children under 16 are welcome to participate on the tour by bicycle. Got questions? Email us at DC@CitySegwayTours.com.

Parking

For the DAY TOUR, the Metro will be your best option. If parking is imperative, the Parking Garage will be your best option as parking on the street is only good for 1 hour or 2 hours at a time and this is strictly enforced. If you want to use a parking garage in this area, they typically charge $7 - $9 per hour.

Considerations

Please be aware that many garages in DC are not open very late, so be sure to double check before you enter or leave the garage for operating hours. Always check for temporary parking signs; due to federal security restrictions, street closures are very common in the Central Business District.
