Great Tour - Brenda was very knowledgeable. She had to be flexible and was able to change her whole planned route twice when funerals prevented her from the route she wanted to take. Somehow, she still managed to get us great views of the changing of the guard and a wreath laying ceremony as well as all the other highlights…

Fabulous and informative tour with Leigh - Leigh was a wonderful guide. We got lots of history, facts and an insight into this fabulous and infamous place. I have wanted to see the eternal flame at JFK and Jacqui Kennedy’s resting place for years and it was great to finally see it. This tour was about so much more though and was well worth having Leigh as our guide. The changing of the guards was a great spectacle to see and to hear about the process was great. It was great to see the house on the hill and to find out all about the history. I would recommend this tour, so much better than going it alone. Thank you, Leigh, you were great!

Great tour, shame about the weather - Arlington is a must visit. It’s beautifully laid out and full of rich military and political history. Our tour guide, Maribeth, had excellent knowledge of both the layout and all that was represented there.
Unfortunately for us all, the weather was truly awful and lashing down with rain. This is a tour that really needs to be dry otherwise it’s pretty miserable and means you are restricted in where you can walk and how far you can see. Even the amazing changing of the guard was much shorter because of the weather. It was such a shame because this really is a fantastic place and we definitely couldn’t take full advantage. That said, Maribeth was a trooper, she carried on with her tour and didn’t complain at all. I hope we matched her spirit. I would recommend this tour and Maribeth, it’s a 5 star experience, we just got really unlucky with the weather.

Five Stars!!!! Trouble deciding on a tour? Pick This One! - Exceeded our expectations. Do your best to achedule the tour earlier in the day for cooler weather and avoid the crowds. Maribeth, our passionate and very prepared guide, was organized, punctual, and accommodating for members of the group (finding shade where possible and restrooms when available). We were able to see the changing of the guard at the top of the hour and a wreath ceremony. Very cool! Thank you for a great experience. BTW - prepare in advance to be walking, and wear walking/running shoes.
