Great value! - Excellent value and the guides are stellar. You could spend hours here. Parking was $3/hour here, or $12 wll day. No problem getting on and off the buses. Makes seeing the cemetery easy on the legs, too. Spend time reading the exhibits.

Everything was great but the view from our seat on the bus. - We were excited to be in a bus for this because although it was a sunny day, it was cold & windy. However, we were the last 2 people to be seated and the only seat was by a seam, so no way to see what the guide was describing. The best thing to do is get off at every opportunity and walk around. It was a great way to get around the cemetery and the guides on the buses gave a lot of great information. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see most of what they were talking about. Arlington Cemetery is a must see experience.

Nice alternative to walking, could provide a bit more scheduling - Nicely narrated bus loop through Arlington Cemetary. Narrators were knowledgeable and pleasant. Only criticism is that a more well-defined schedule for tram arrivals/departures would be helpful (eg, every 30 min, etc), as standing out in the cold for long stretches was difficult with an elderly relative.

Trolleys were not every 15-20 as told - The trolleys were not running consistently and we were stuck in the cold several times… one time more the 30 minutes.
