A city is a place of tremendous variety, usually constructed upon rock ‘n’ roll. Plumb the secret depths of D.C. with today's Groupon: for $35, you get a two-hour segway sightseeing tour from Capital Segway (up to an $80 value) in Washington DC.

Capital Segway's tours allow sightseers to cover an entire day's worth of sightseeing in just two hours and secure a clear glimpse of federal landmarks unobstructed by bus windows or disgruntled hang gliders. Balanced elegantly atop well-maintained Segway i2 and x2 off-road machines, upright riders survey our nation's capital atop their glistening steeds. After a brief training session, segwayfarers embark on a campaign at speeds up to 12.5 mph to rediscover such pillars of history as the White House, Botanical Gardens, Smithsonian, FBI Building, Capitol Building, and the combination KFC/Sunglass Hut. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable guides lead evening tours as well, so riders can follow the Potomac River at dusk and experience the national monuments illuminated. Along the way, Capital Segway relays enlightening historical tidbits through iPod-based audio systems; don't forget to tote along a camera.

Reviews

TripAdvisors give Capital Segway an average of 4.5 owl eyes, and Yelpers give it a 4.5-star average:

• This tour was so fun—not the traditional tour, but just as much history and saw all the great sites, and then some. – deah1, TripAdvisor
• Just riding a Segway is awesome but the tour guides did their part to make the tour fun and informative as well. Give it a try. – ang s., Yelp
