Amazing, but somber experience,,, - Our tour guide James was wonderful!!! He was very knowledgeable, and took us all throughout the cemetery. We were able to watch the Changing of the Guard Ceremony, and ask many questions. We had a wonderful walk, and learned many interesting things. The morning tour was definitely the way to go, as it was cool for a majority of our tour. It only began getting hit towards the end of it.

Unforgettable Arlington National Cemetery Walking Tour with Dwayne - We had an incredible experience on our 2-hour walking tour through Arlington National Cemetery. As the only two participants, my partner and I felt like we hit the jackpot with such a personalized experience. Our guide, Dwayne, was phenomenal—his passion and deep knowledge of the cemetery’s history and significance brought every moment to life. He shared fascinating stories and insights that made the tour both educational and deeply moving. The two hours flew by, and we were genuinely disappointed when it ended because we could have listened to Dwayne all day. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Arlington—highly recommend requesting Dwayne for an unforgettable experience!

Beautiful Morning Tour - ☆☆☆☆☆ Great tour guide and walk. There were plenty of breaks for my mother-in-law who isn't a long-distance walker. She is older and the guide was kind as well as patient with her needs. We were also grateful for the 0930 tour as the heat in DC can be overwhelming for some. He gave plenty of information about Arlington and the sights. We were able to view the full ceremony of guards changing, the JRK and we were even able to hear TAPS play. It was a beautiful experience. Thank you, James ☆☆☆☆☆

Must take the guided tour. Our tour with Rochelle was worth every penny and more! - The Arlington Cemetery guided walking tour was very informative and very moving. Rochelle was our guide and she gave a great tour. She was interesting, informative and friendly! She never rushed us and made sure we saw all the best views including the perfect spot to video tape the changing of the guards. The cemetery is huge and we were so glad to have an expert showing us around.

Arlington National Cemetery - Great tour! The cemetery is so large it is best to have a guide help navigate where to go. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Changing of the guards was very emotional. Something all should see. James our guide was very attentive and professional.
