Arlington tour - You cannot see everything in one day. Our tour guide made sure we saw the highlights and modified the tour due to the heat.

Great experience - Becca was wonderful. It was a very hot day, but she tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible. She is very knowledgeable and had a great personality.

Walking tour of Arlington National Cemetery - Enjoyed this walking tour of the cemetery. It’s was good to have a water bottle, hat and sunscreen as it was very sunny and humid. Ingebourd did a good job of speaking to us from shady spots. The walking pace was quick but not overwhelming and she was well prepared and friendly. It’s helpful to read a bit before the tour to see if there are other areas of interest within the cemetery that are not on the tour. You can have the guide point the location out to you. It was an easy walk from the blue metro station to the visitor center. There is no food available at the visitor station so bring a light snack for after the tour if you are pressed for time.
