Discovering Different Washington DC Audio Walking Tours

By Lila Bryant


Tourist areas often boast a number of bicycle, trolley and guided walking tours. Some of the best can be found in the biggest cities where the narration is often recorded. The Nation's capitol offers a number of different types of tours including several Washington DC audio walking tours.

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.

Visitors can sign up at specific sites for these walking tours. Others can be found online in various formats. One of the most popular are free podcasts which allow individuals to download the narration before leaving home and take the tour at a time which is convenient. As some of these audio recordings are free, there is a nominal charge for others so it is good to look at a number of websites before paying for any type of walking tour.

A few companies offer day, dusk and night audio walking tours. Many tourists do all three to get different scenic views. Day and night viewing can often be quite different, especially when it comes to the skyline, or attractions which offer dramatic lighting in the evening. These audio tours are especially popular among poets, photographers and writers.

Podcasts can be used on active tours, or to escape from the comfort of home. For those who have to be home due to school, work or illness, these recordings can provide a great way to visit a number of cities without ever leaving home. Most of these podcasts are free and can easily be downloaded off different tour company websites.

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.

Listening to past recordings of different areas can also help individuals decide whether or not it is an area one might like to visit. Whereas, one can also sign up to receive future recordings on many travel related websites. This is great for individuals who love to travel but are without the funds to do so as many of these recordings are simply sent by way of email attachment on a regular basis.

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.
