At least according to this native, this is some of the best stuff that DC has to offer.

Customer Reviews
A must have for a visit to DC
I love how many great spots this includes that you probably wouldn't find in your average guide. It's well written and organized. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the big sites of DC but also get some local flavor while they're at it.
Perfect for Families
My daughter has been begging to visit Washington D.C. for her 8th grade field trip, and I think we're going to make this a family affair. Instead of paying big bucks through the school, we're going to visit on our own, and this app is a helpful guide. I love the tips found in the 36-hour Power Tour, along with the suggestions in each entry for nearby attractions. I personally can't wait to visit the Folger Shakespeare Library. Too cool!
Insider's D.C.
This unusualy thorough guide uncovers great finds along with the main sights. Highly recommended.
