These are a great way to get to know Washington, DC., July 21 2008

These cards provide an excellent way to get out and explore the nation's capital city. Having studied DC's architecture and as a resident of DC (going on my fifth year in the city), I must say these cards are a great way to learn more about the city and its neighborhoods. I have used these cards to take students on a architectural tour of the capital and found them to be well-done, convenient and pretty comprehensive. Definitely a way to make a tourist's self-guided tour more interesting (and prevent them from getting lost, too).

Need Walk Distances, Please, Nov 17 2010

I live in the Washington, DC area, and I'm always looking for new places to walk. I was excited to see this product; it promised to take me places I might never have seen before.
But, for someone whose primary interest is the actual walking, I've been disappointed in the cards. They don't tell you how far any of the walks are, so you're really guessing by looking at city blocks or landmarks. And while they call these 50 walks, some of them are only a few city blocks, so I'd hardly count them as 50.
If you're touring Washington for the first time, this is probably a great way to stroll by monuments, memorials and museums and a few parks. But if you live here and really want to get out there and walk, check out some of the other walking books instead.

We bought the LA ones for us when we moved here and I just bought the Washington DC ones for a friend that is being transferred there this summer! She has already gone through them with her family and can't wait to use them. They are fun and easy to use. I would definately use other ones as well!
