Best tour ever!! - 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!!
