A Humbling Experience - My husband and I were the only visitors on the guided tour with Tyrone McBride of Signature Tours DC and it was amazing! We had a leisurely tour all around the cemetery and Tyrone was very knowledgeable and personable. We were humbled to see up close and personal, the Changing of the Guard and learn details about the soldiers' responsibilities to carry out this honor. The tour of Arlington mansion was awesome, the views breathtaking - it is a must see sight. We were even able to locate our friends' parents resting place in the cemetery. Tyrone was a top notch guide and his recommendation for dinner reservation was spot on!!

Excellent tour due to guide - Tyron our guide was excellent, mixed very well with the small group and was very informative. Instead of just stating facts he made the effort to get to know each individual. A credit to any organisation.

A very exciting, educational, enjoyable day!! - Our tour guide, James, was excellent. It was a very educational, enjoyable, interesting, relaxing day. James is very people friendly and goes out of his way to make everyone have the ability to see all the monuments and other attractions. Also, the driver, Kris was very good.

No guide needed - The tour guide did not add much value to the tour. It was easy to follow the signs to JFKs tomb, the house on the hill, and tomb of the unknown.
The guide was pleasant but did not add any additional information that wasn't already presented on the sinage and plaques.

Choose Different Tour If James is Tour Guide - Terrible experience with tour guide James.. He yelled at me twice on phone saying I wasn't going to be on time for 10:00 tour..needed to be there by 9:45...arrived by 9:40.....decided to take the other tour @ Arlington Cemetry using the shuttle. James needs to chill and check his attitude especially during a long weekend like Memorial Day...Other tour was great. Arlington Cemetery was breathtaking and beautiful, a must see
