DC Monuments

Great app for walking or biking. Very useful, well implemented, totally worth three bucks. A few minor things missing (e.g. Ford's Theater) but it has all the main sights. I also used the free iTrans DC app (for the Metro lines).

This was one of the highlights of our DC trip. The app was well done, and for just $2 two of us (we had a splitter) could walk the sights at our own pace. No in-app purchases, no advertising, no tips for the guide needed at the end of the tour... great!

This app shows you the sights of Washington and allows you to go at your own speed. I like guided tours, too, but sometimes it's nice to escape the big tour groups and go off on your own. The app is perfect for that.

Granted, it didn't cost much but, I had hoped I would get so much more information about the monuments than I did. In one case, Jefferson Monument entry seemed to be devoted to be besmirching his memory by talking about him being a slave owner, and fathering several children with one of his slaves. I went to the Martin Luther King Jr. monument and nothing was said about his mistresses. Weird. It seemed it was a hack job on Thomas Jefferson, one of the original signers of the Declaration of Ind

The monuments in DC are so beautiful, so moving, that you really want to spend a while at each one taking it all in. This tour lets you do that. We spent 2 days on the monuments and another 2 days at the museums, and would’ve spent more time if we’d had it. We started the tour, took a break for lunch, then toured some more. Definitely cue up the audio, as there are some fun facts in there, and don’t forget to turn your GPS on.
