We honestly did not get a chance to explore much on our own (we booked too many tours), but the bit we did listen to was great. I probably would have preferred doing the self guided.
Jilla W
Lobed exploring Washington. The self guide audio tour was a great addition. Wish we had more time to do more but we still enjoyed the stops.

Informative tour, easy to use self paced tour. The map was helpful to follow the tour path. Enjoyed the narration kicking in automatically at each point of interest.
Michael_B
Enjoyed the audio tour and allowed us to go at our own pace. Wish Vietnam memorial was a primary stop on the tour. Don’t think it should be excluded from the main walk. Pretty important monument

This is great if you’re doing solo traveling and just wanna spend a day walking around the city. I loved the experience and I’d highly recommend.
Helena_Bonham_Carter
I really like the concept of the tour. They give you a prepared trip and give you some information about what you see. You can walk as fast as you want, take pictures as long as you want and take another route if you want. I really like that and recommend it for everyone, especially since the highlights can all be easily reached by foot and it is doable in one day. For me it could have more information but I will definitely do more of those tours.
