After bringing the pages of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code to life in Paris, City Segway Tours welcomes you to join our Masonic Segway Tour of Washington, DC. The Masonic Segway Tour will take you from the pages of Dan Brown’s bestseller The Lost Symbol into the secret corners of the Capital City. We will follow the adventure of renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, Secretary of the Smithsonian Peter Solomon, and cutting-edge scientist, Katherine Solomon, as they uncover clues that point to a dark Masonic underworld in Washington, DC. The tour will look at Freemason sites and symbols throughout DC, from the most recognizable monuments to the unassuming statues.

The Masonic Segway Tour glides past some of the famous symbols of Freemasonry, traveling down America's main street, Pennsylvania Avenue on top of Capitol Hill and into the heart of DC. J. Edgar Hoover, Albert Pike, and the National Archives Building are highlighted, as well as a thorough ride around the U.S. Capitol Building where you will learn about the start of Robert Langdon's hellish night. See the Library of Congress, hear about Langdon's escape from the CIA, and roll past the Masonic codes hidden in our National Mall. From the Washington Monument, through Freedom Plaza, to the White House; the Masonic influences and their secrets are deeply tied to our country's storied past. Our captivating tour is highlighted by an incredible stop at one of the Freemason's most famous buildings, the House of the Temple, where Dan Brown's novel reaches its climax.

A Great Time

We had a great time! There was enough "fun facts" to keep our interest (even though we're DC natives), without overwhelming or distracting us from the amazing experience of zipping around on the segway. The group leader, Megan, did a great job of ensuring that everyone was comfortable with operating the segway before beginning the tour. Now we have something new to do with future out-of-town guests that we'd love to do again!
