ワシントンDCモールセルフガイドオーディオウォーキングツアー

Great tour that’s lets you move at your own pace, skip any of the stops you’ve already visited in the past

Overall I feel mixed about this tour. There were a few instances which the information was interesting and valuable, but more often than not, it felt like a history lesson for what the monuments represent as opposed to facts and things to note about the monuments. Maybe that’s a misalignment of my expectations, but if I want to know what they’re about, there’s a placard at each one with the same basic overview. What I would have hoped for are interesting and educational facts about the design, charter and history since these memorials have been erected. What I ended up with was a banal history lesson and Forest Gump quotes. It got the job done as far as touring me around, (timing was fairly accurate, but I did have to pause at times) but I would have learned more with my phone and some quick wiki searches

BEWARE! I am sorry to say that I must leave a negative review. We had a guided tour booked, which was cancelled due to the snow and icy conditions. We rebooked a recorded tour for the 4 people in our party. The recorded tour was very difficult to access and required the download of 2 separate apps and furnishing a lot of personal information. Then, after wasting a fair amount of time on all of that, we were only ever able to access one recorded tour on one of our phones. The other three were inaccessible and every time the other members of my party tried to access the recording it would just link back to the one on my phone. So, we paid 4 times for 1 tour. When I asked for a refund, they refused, saying that they have a 24-hour cancellation fee. Which was rich, given that they cancelled our guided tour with 2 hours’ notice! The snow had been on the ground for 2 weeks, so they had plenty of time to provide us 24-hour notice but didn’t. Also, although I can understand a 24-hour policy for a guided tour where a person must plan to be there, the required 24-hour notice for a recorded tour is ridiculous. Again, they were the ones who cancelled on us. Very disappointing; DO NOT recommend.

I'm not one to usually take the time to write a review, but....This is the best tour!! It was very user friendly, and can be used for one person or a group. --I'd choose this tour over an in-person tour guide any day, because you can do it at your own pace, and stop and restart whenever. I stuck my AirPods in, and followed along to the narrator. He provided awesome tips and trivia, which is right up my alley. He tells you exactly where to walk for the entire length of the National Mall with stops at all of the memorials. He is even as specific was which crosswalk or intersection to walk on. He allows time for you to get to these specifc spots while filling in the time with additional fun facts. He even goes over each of the Smithsonian's as you walk by them! I learned so much information that I did not know about DC and the memorials.. including the coolest fun fact at the WW2 memorial. And if all that is not enough, he even sends a follow-up email with alll the tour highlights. Who does that?!! I'm so impressed. Do yourself a favor and get this tour!!
