We are the only Segway® Personal Transporter (PT) Tour to team up with the Smithsonian® Institution. Our sightseeing excursion departs directly from the National Mall and we can show you DC in a way that no other tour can!

You'll enjoy the outdoors when gliding more than 5 miles to explore over 1,000 acres of the National Mall and Memorial Parks.  Along the way, you'll learn fun facts about DC's museums, gardens and monuments from our licensed tour guides.

This scenic glide begins at the National Museum of American History, which details major themes in American history and culture and is home to iconic artifacts like the original Star-Spangled Banner, Abraham Lincoln's top hat, First Ladies' gowns and Dorothy's ruby slippers from 'The Wizard of Oz'!  Be sure to visit the museum before or after your tour.

The tour continues with gliders seeing and learning more about the history and fun facts behind the country's national treasures, including stories that only the Smithsonian could tell!
