Washington DC, narrated stop by stop — built around the Metro
DC Audio Tours turns the capital into a self-guided audio experience you can start in seconds, in your own language, at your own pace.
DC Audio Tours (dcaudiotours.com) is a self-guided audio tour app for Washington DC. Instead of booking a fixed time, following a guide, or downloading anything, visitors open a web link and walk the city on their own schedule. Tours are organized around the DC Metro, so each stop begins at a station and guides you on foot from there — with audio narration, a written transcript, walking directions, and local tips at every point.
The catalog spans 13 themed tours — including Museums & Monuments, Spy & Espionage, Civil Rights History, Music Lovers, Food & Markets, Haunted DC, and Presidential History — plus 8 location-based walking tours that group nearby sights by neighborhood (the National Mall, the Tidal Basin memorials, Capitol Hill, Penn Quarter, U Street, Dupont, Georgetown, and east of the river) so you spend your time walking, not riding the Metro. Many landmark stops feature historic speeches and original recordings, from the Gettysburg Address to FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King Jr.
Every tour is narrated in 8 languages, and the first stop of every tour is free — so anyone can listen before deciding to buy. Individual tours are a one-time $3.99, with bundle options for travelers who want more.
