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

Thank you so much Michael! That flexibility is one of the best features of my self-guided tour. The Vietnam Memorial is currently an optional detour in the tour (because of a change to the route where people were getting confused). But I’ll keep your suggestion in mind! If you plan to travel more, you may like my Action+ Tour Bundle (it has all of my self-guided tours, over 100).

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.

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.
