Washington on Foot, Fifth Edition: 24 Walking Tours and Maps of Washington, DC, Old Town Alexandria, and Takoma Park

An index would be a great improvement. This book contains 24 walks and they are described in detail. But the book lacks an index. That is a major oversight. For example, say you want to see the Frederic Delano House (FDR's uncle). But you don't know anything more than the name of the house. It would be almost impossible to find it, unless you get lucky paging through the book and happened upon page 152. Or, if you already knew that it was in the Kalorama neighborhood and went on that particular walk. Without that luck or prior knowledge, you would never locate it. And this is a problem. I will now try to buy a walking DC book that has an index.

Nice walks.....would like to add the walk along the lake from MLK memorial to FDR memorial and on to the Jefferson is filthy with trash, mud/water on the trail and low hanging branches making the walk less than pleasurable......a bit of a warning in the book would have been nice.

Good set of tours for walking the city. Did two on a recent weekend visit. Tours would be easy to combine into longer tours. Found details for building interiors and hints on what to see very helpful and interesting.

I LOVE this book. It makes sensible walking trips around DC. Instead of aimlessly walking around the areas. The walking maps have points along the way to explain what you can expect of your journey. I can not wait to accomplish them all.

As a person never been to that city yet, the book offers time saving tips to help plan out our trip to get to the places most interesting to us.

We live in the DC area and this is a great book to decide what to do on weekends. There are places we have never visited mostly because we just didn't think about them. When we have visitors we just hand them the book so they can plan out their day.

Very easy to follow the " walks" The maps are will marked and the routes are short enough for all to enjoy. I'm glad I bought the book.

very good

Delighted with this book just perfect for a relative great value and lovely condition.It arrived early too so an added bonus.

Very good book for going on holiday to Washington. Fits just nicely in a backpack and very helpful

Great guide for Washington, DC since there is a tonne of things to do there.
