Wonderful part of our trip - John was a wonderful tour guide. We were able to see so many parts of Arlington Cemetery that we had never visited before. John was knowledgeable and answered all the questions the group had. He even stayed a little later to help us get to another part of the cemetery that was not on the tour. We really enjoyed this and would highly recommend this tour.

Best way to experience Arlington - The best way to experience Arlington cemetery, I have been before but didn't have a guide. It was great getting the history, it was a small group so easy to ask questions. Dean was full of knowledge and enthusiasm.

Our guide John knew his history. - We had an excellent small group experience by John from DC By Foot. We visited all the major Arlington sites, including the Kennedy gravesite. We witnessed the changing of the guard and wreath laying at the Unknown Soldiers Tomb. We walked through Robert E Lee’s mansion and slave quarters. John had great knowledge of the history of the cemetery, the many visited monuments, and the lives of countless men who served and were buried there. Thank you John. Highly recommended. Eight in our group.

A guided tour at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. exceeded our expectations - Last Sunday, we had the privilege of taking a guided tour at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., and it exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Ingeborg, was absolutely amazing. Her passion for what she does is evident, and her depth of historical knowledge is impressive. She took the time to explain everything in great detail, answering all of our questions—even beyond the scope of the tour program. In particular, her explanation of the guard-changing ceremony was thorough and made the experience even more meaningful. Ingeborg’s enthusiasm and commitment truly enhanced the tour, and I highly recommend both this tour company and Ingeborg as a guide. It was a memorable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide!"

Small walking tour is where it’s at ! - Brooke was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. The small group tour made it personable and enabled us to get the most out of our visit. The changing of the guards, the Arlington house, and the rows of perfectly straight headstones made it an amazing experience for me on my first visit.

First Time Arlington Visitors - We would totally recommend this quick walking tour. Being first time visitors to Arlington, it was great to have Trevor our guide hit us with all the major stops and give great information along the way! He was also open to many questions. You can tell he loves his job and has a passion for the Cemetery and the Veterans who served. Well done sir.

Arlington National Cemetery - Visiting Arlington National Cemetery is a very moving, beautiful and interesting American experience. The changing of the guard is well worth seeing. We were lucky enough to see a wreath laying ceremony as well. We'll worth it!
