Different Types Of Washington DC Audio Walking Tours

By Lila Bryant


Whether with a guide or pre-recorded audio, walking while on vacation can be a great experience. There are several different types of Washington DC audio walking tours. Some offer insight into historic neighborhoods while others take tourists on areas rarely seen. In most cities, there are also those that focus on specific attractions, museums or other locations of interest.

Audio recordings can be directed at specific attractions, or merely guide tourists on a walk around the city. Some focus on history, others attractions, while others allow visitors to get a closer look into U. S. Government operations. One of the best is probably related to the grounds of the White House which sits at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Most tours are provided online through different websites. While some are free, there is a minimal charge for others. Various attractions also offer access to tours related to permanent and temporary exhibits and installations. Details on these exhibits and other information can be found on the many different galleries and museums websites or through the local visitor center.

Many areas have both day and night tours, this is especially true in cities which host ones related to ghosts as most happen at night. Whereas, most historic walking and museum audio tours are only offered during the daytime. When traveling alone, it is often good to get an idea of the safety of an area by checking local crime statistics and participating in group tours or walking with a guide.

Before leaving home, individuals can now download a number of podcasts which feature walking tours of many cities. These audio recordings are often quite informative about the people, places and things which can be found in the region. Some are more historic, while others focus on present day activities and events. All of which can be quite useful whether listening from home or visiting an area for the first time.

A great deal of knowledge can also be obtained by simply listening to the podcast online from home. Whether planning a trip, or simply needing a great way to relax, these recordings can often help individuals decide places of interest whether traveling now or in the future. Even if one never visits the area, one can still learn a great deal about a city's history and people.

Many travel websites which offer these walking tour podcasts also offer a newsletter related to different cities which individuals can sign up to receive on a regular basis. These newsletters often feature news, weather and current events in the area. Most also include histories and stories of people and places in the region along with narration of different tours.

Whether visiting the U. S. Capitol for the first time, listening to a podcast from home, or a frequent traveler to the city, individuals can learn a great deal about the city and people of the area. One of the newest museums, that of the Museum of the American Indian provides insight into some of the earliest and most turbulent times of the country. D. C. Is also a city that offers a great deal of learning experiences whether through visiting museums, the White House, or other free attractions, historic alleyways and neighborhoods.
