My fallen brother's and sisters - The tour guides made it a great experience As a Marine I wished too see the IWO memorial, but it was closed. My main reason for this visit was JFK's memorial, a solemn and for me a sad memory from my life.

Great Tour - A must for the cemetery. Very informative guides, nice warm bus (a must on a cold December day), and saves a lot of walking. The guides also point you in the right direction, at each stop.

Great way to visit Arlington Memorial ! - Hop-On Hop-off is the best way to visit this sacred place. It's an open- air bus type of tour though the memorial cemetery. It stops at a number of significant points and allows whatever time you want to visit each (some require a short walk). Spend the time you want and hop on one of the next buses to continue your tour.

This tour is great to do but was let down by the guide - I have done this tour a few times but on this, it was terrible! The lady who was doing the audio talk around the cemetery was boring, she could not be understood, she mumbled and had absolutely no enthusiasm. She should not be allowed to carry out this duty.

Arlington National... - Arlington National Cemetery is a must-see when visiting Washington, D.C. The chance to honor our nation's heroes and witness the deeply rooted traditions here is truly moving. The Changing of the Guard and Memorial Amphitheater add to the powerful experience. That said, tour guide quality can vary. While knowledgeable, some guides can be difficult to hear or lack the engaging presence that would enhance the experience. It’s definitely worth visiting but consider a self-guided tour if you'd prefer more flexibility or quiet reflection.
