Description
The best audio tour of Washington DC monuments and memorials around! Why strain your eyes to see a distant statue from a tour bus, or get rushed through your favorite site? See DC the way it was meant to be seen: on foot. The National Mall's park-like setting was designed for walking. Fourteen sites are included in this tour - the White House, the Capitol, and all the monuments in between. Yes, it can be a lot to cover. So, spread it out over a couple of days, take a break for lunch, or maybe stop at one of the Smithsonians along the way. It's like having your own personal tour guide, at a fraction of the price. Two Buck Tours include maps with GPS, directions, photos, tips, interesting information about each site, and are narrated in English. No schedules, no crowds, no worries. Good for tourists and locals of all ages. Not visiting DC anytime soon? The text and photos will let you experience the city on your own.

User Reviews
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 Independence. Bias aside, I just didn't feel it was a very valuable app. I do not recommend.
Good content, but your phone screen has to be on or the audio stops playing which makes it a bit temperamental to use.
The audio really helped us appreciate each monument, we all learned something new at each stop. It was easy to follow the map, too. 5 stars!
I just paid $1.99 for this app and it will not open. I'm running iOS 11.3. I have tried restarting my phone, uninstalling the app and reinstalling, etc. All to no avail. Please fix the app or refund my $1.99 before my upcoming trip to DC next week. Thanks.
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.
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.
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!
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).
