Om den här aktiviteten
Meet your guide in Foggy Bottom, and start with an orientation session to get familiar with your two-wheeled, electric, self-balancing Segway. Once you feel safe and at ease, follow your guide through the city’s leafy streets while hearing about the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
A long-standing city tradition, the festival is held in March each year to celebrate the occasion when Japanese cherry trees were gifted to the city from Japan. Symbolizing the friendship between the two nations as well as the start of spring, the festival showcases some 3,000 blossoms spread around the city.
Glide around the edge of Tidal Basin, stopping to admire the pretty pink blossoms against the reservoir, and head past the National Mall and Washington Monument, the obelisk that commemorates the first American president. Weave through the crowds to see more of the city’s poignant monuments such as the Martin Luther King Memorial and the Jefferson Memorial, and stop for photos against a backdrop of leafy pink trees.
After three hours of scouting out the city’s most impressive cherry blossom trees, return to the start point where your tour finishes.

A fun way to see a lot of DC sights in a little bit of time. The Segways are easy to learn, and the guides are very knowledgable of the DC area.
We braved the cooler morning of the first day of spring to see a reasonable amount of blossoms, it was a last minute thing for us and we've enjoyed riding segways before. The tour was informative, went to a few places that we hadn't been to before and we had a knowledgeable tour guide, All in all, a cold but good morning out. Thanks
