James was great. - James was great. You can tell he known his stuff and really caters the tour to the group dynamics. Saw Kennedy, changing off the guard, and so much more.

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.

Arlington - It's something that everyone should experience. Especially for those who don't understand what patriotism really is.

Informative Arlington Tour!! - We had the pleasure of having William as our very own tour guide! He had a wealth of information going back to the origins of the land and all the wars that brought these noble people to rest in Arlington. He was very patient, kind and accommodating. The walk was long but he had a very nicely paced tour and we still saw everything we had come for. I would recommend this tour for adults and teens who have a keen interest in the history of this monument!! Thank you for a lovely morning adventure!!

Two hour walking tour of Arlington cemetery - Unfortunate disaster of a tour. We waited over a half hour on the steps to watch the changing of the guard & our tour guide James admitted he had the time wrong. We wasted 40 minutes waiting. Then he took us to another area and when we got back, we could hardly see the ceremony due to the crowd had filled in & we could not view it clearly. James reported now we didn’t have time to see some key areas & he actually took out his cell phone & showed us pics of what we missed. Two of us broke away from the tour to go see an area of our interest. It would be best to have a veteran give the tour from a veterans, respectable viewpoint also. James kept talking about how much he knew and could show us if we had all day but the tour was just for two hours. Ridiculous failure of a tour by our disorganized & forgetful guide. Perhaps he was just having a bad day. Arlington cemetery is worth visiting, but this particular tour w James was an unfortunate disaster. Arlington cemetery is an amazing place to go and learn about, but this tour definitely bombed. James spent as much time talking about himself as he did Arlington cemetery. There were two military veterans in our group So this tour was especially unfortunate for them. There were three couples in our group. The couple from Ireland were very disgruntled. A refund would not be inappropriate.
