Great experience with Maureen on semi private Arlington cemetery tour - Fantastic experience with our guide Maureen. It was my first time at Arlington in ~20 years and she was extremely knowledgeable and polite.
Booking maureen for the semi private tour was very worth it and allowed us (my friend and I) to interact with her. One of my favorite tours while I was in DC, would recommend this tour to anyone who goes to Arlington and would recommend Maureen as well.

Walking history Tour with a view - tributes and honor to our country and those that sacrificed to make it great. - Highly recommend The Arlington Cemetery & Changing of the Guard-Semi-private Tour. The views within the cemetery and the panoramic views of our nations capital are spectacular. Can't say enough about the changing of the Guard as it was an amazing synchronized site to experience. Maribeth, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with historical and unique facts you would not ordinarily get. I would say it was one of my favorite tours! Worth the walking!

Do not miss Arlington Cemetery when you visit DC. - Fascinated by the changing of the Guard at the Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier. Touring Arlington Cemetery on 9-11-24 gave it added significance.
