The little we used was great

Published on Apr, 2024

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.

Lovely morning

Published on Apr, 2024

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.

Awesome

Published on Mar, 2024

Self guided audio tour was great. Wish we had more time to do all the things. Highly recommend for those wanting to go at their own pace

Educational easy to use self guided tour

Published on Oct, 2023

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.

Great Experience

Published on Aug, 2022

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.
