About the Tour

D.C.’s gardens hold a secret that your guide is determined to figure out. Join her for the third installment of this fictional walk series beginning near the Spirit of Justice Park and taking you to the U.S. Botanic Garden.

Her research into the mysterious phenomenon in the gardens has given her few answers, but plenty of new questions. Her experiences at the Summerhouse only complicated matters. She suspects the involvement of certain men in gray suits, and her investigation is about to take a riskier turn.

Find out where her need for answers takes her as she leads you through three different parks to the Water Garden.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.
