5.0 out of 5 stars These are a great way to get to know Washington, DC., July 21, 2008

By	Andrew J. Degnan (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Convenient, & Smart., April 15, 2009

We just returned from Washington, D.C.. This is the first time I've used these cards. What a smart idea! We loved the card system. Making them spill resistant was also a very smart idea (I spilled coffee on them once - no damage!) It sure was convenient to grab just the few cards we needed for a particular area we wanted to explore. Having info on one side and maps on the other really worked for us. Granted, the cards cannot be as comprehensive as other guide books, but if your inention is just to see the major sights on foot, then this is the best few bucks you can spend! I only wish they had more cities available. Thankfully they do have our next destination for sale; Paris, France.
