La experiencia fue terriblemente mala, en todo momento pensé que era un tour donde iba a haber una persona con un grupo, a pesar de que el nombre dice Autoguiado lo hace muy confuso que tengas que seleccionar una fecha para hacerlo, te pregunte cuantos asistentes al tour serán, te den un lugar de inicio, una hora específica y adicional recibas un correo de confirmación, deberían mejorar en absoluto en que desde la misma publicidad aclaren que no sea trata de un tour sino que se trata de una lista de lugares recomendados para visitar, gracias a esa confusión perdimos un par de horas en Washington, fue nefasta la experiencia con strawberry 0% recomendados para cualquier actividad turística.

Delve into the heart of American history with the Free Self-Guided Tour in Washington DC, an experience that offers the joy of discovering iconic landmarks at a personal pace. Start this remarkable journey at the United States Capitol, a symbol of democracy and architectural grandeur. As you wander through its impressive facade, feel the pulse of American governance. A short walk away lies the Smithsonian Museums, an ensemble of knowledge and culture. Each museum, from art to aerospace, tells a unique story, inviting curiosity and wonder. The towering Washington Monument, an emblem of national pride, stands nearby. The self-guided nature of the tour allows for unhurried exploration, creating an intimate connection with each site’s historical and cultural significance.

The tour continues to the White House, a residence and symbol of presidential power. Its historical resonance and architectural elegance are sights to behold. Moving forward, the World War II Memorial honors the courage of those who served in the global conflict, while the Vietnam Veterans Memorial offers a somber reflection on the sacrifices of the Vietnam War. The Lincoln Memorial follows, standing as a bastion of unity and freedom. Each site is more than a landmark; it's a chapter in the nation’s story, waiting to be explored at your own pace and understanding. The advantage of a self-guided tour here is the freedom to absorb each monument’s significance, pausing for thought, and learning at a comfortable pace.

Conclude your journey at the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial. The Korean War Memorial brings to life the heroism of those who fought in a largely unrecognized war. In contrast, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial celebrates the legacy of a man who changed the course of history with his dream for equality. The sprawling Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial takes you through the pivotal moments of Roosevelt's presidency. Finally, the Jefferson Memorial stands as a serene tribute to one of the nation’s founding fathers. These sites epitomize the values and struggles that have shaped the United States. The self-guided tour, with its flexibility and personalization, allows you to connect with these symbols of American heritage, making each visit a unique and educational experience.
