Wonderful Guide at Arlington - Great walking tour of the Arlington Cemetery. I'm in my 70's and loved our tour and guide. The guide assign to us was knowledgeable and engaging with us. The history of the guards and the protection of our national cemetery is something every American to see at least once in their life. Highly recommended.

Excellent! A must do! - This is a must!! Ingeborg was awesome and helped us understand the history at the cemetery. She stopped all the important graves and gave us the history. You need a tour guide and Ingeborg is the best.

Arlington National Cemetery Walking Tour - I expected to have a small to medium group for our tour, but nope! It was just my friend and I and the tour guide, Kevin. He was amazing! He gave us a walking tour of Arlington National Cemetery. We were able to see the changing of the guard and TWO wreath laying ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. As a military veteran, Taps ALWAYS gets me and this was no exception. I cried, UNASHAMEDLY mind you, at the first one. Keven took us up to Arlington House and was VERY knowledgeable about everything he talked about. The last stop is JFK’s grave site and that also was very moving. The whole place is very solemn. Kevin was a great tour guide and we really appreciated his diligence and attention to detail on everything.

Wesley was very... - Wesley was very knowledgeable about Arlington Cemetery. His directions to meet him were easy and straight forward. It was nice being in a small group of only 8 people. He was always welcoming any questions we had. He knew the best spot to view the Changing of the Guards for the Tomb if the Unknown Soldier. I would highly recommend this tour.

Good tour - Good tour, hit the high points and provided history of the cemetery. Lots of walking and hills. If you are not active, you should pay for a tour via a cart. I’m sure we could have done this tour on our own, but it was nice to have a guide with us.

History has never been so much fun! - Katherine was great. She was so knowledgeable, like she had been at Arlington since the Civil War. She was very funny and was so much fun. We had a great time and learned so much.

Good itinerary…lacks depth and accuracy. - Our tour guide was very polite and personable. The walking tour itinerary was the main attraction for us and we were happy with its pacing. The problem we encountered was our guide’s military and historical knowledge regarding Arlington National Cemetery. It was vague and, at times, erroneous. Depth of knowledge in these areas is an obvious criteria for the job. Hopefully this tour company will do a better job of screening, training, or both. Until then, this guide needs to do some research and study to improve their knowledge. The families of those at rest in Arlington deserve the best effort of those representing snd honoring their sacrifice.
