Take a tour of the National Mall with City Segway Tours

A city rich with many museums and monuments like Washington DC will require a good deal of planning and time to explore.  For the tourist on a time crunch, a guided tour of the city is a great way to maximize your time.

City Segway Tours (meets at 624 9th Street, NW): If you want to blast through the city and enjoy all the must-see attractions while looking cool, take the National Mall Segway tour.
