This tour was horrible!...

Steve_B, Jul 2026

This tour was horrible! It didn't take into account that multiple avenues were closed and it wants you to reroute if ya missed something! Kinda impossible when you get detoured every 5 seconds! If it weren't $20, I would get refunded!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Steve, I’m sorry my Washington, D.C. Monuments self-guided driving audio tour was frustrating due to so many road closures and detours! I’ll pass this closure feedback to my team so we can review the route experience, especially when major avenues are blocked. Please reach out to me between 9 AM and 6 PM EST with your booking details, and I can offer a replacement tour or help process a refund.
