Great experience. - We had the best tour guide for this walk in the Arlington Cementary. James was on time, friendly, welcoming and very funny. Although is a long walk, 2 hs, time goes fast because he shared a lot of history in a very entertaining way.

Choose Signature Tours for best Arlington experience! - We highly recommend Signature Tours walking tour of Arlington Cemetery! Our guide, James, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to inform us about the significant aspects of this important site. His years of experience made a difference from other tour guides on site. The walking is not for someone who has difficulty being on their feet for 2 hours or walking at a good pace. For those who can, this tour is not to be missed!

Beautiful experience! - Our tour leader James did a great job! He was very knowledgeable and engaged. James was very impressed with my brother and the two of them had many in-depth conversations about history and the cemetery. Would definitely recommend James!

Tour guide late and added zero value - Terrible tour. Tour guide was 20 minutes late and did not provide any interesting facts, only basic facts. So much that others members of the tour did Google searches to get better information and shared it with the group. Our tour was not worth it, our guide added zero value.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOCAL TOUR COMPANY - ABSOLUTELY AVOID THIS TOUR!!!! The local operator provided the instructions in the photo and we were at the meeting point 30 minutes before the tour time. It was raining steadily and no one from Signature Tours arrived. At 10:05 I placed a call to the local office to inquire if they were running late and was told that the tour had left without us because “everyone else” showed up except us, but there had been no other people milling about in a group, just individual families and couples exiting past the meeting location. I explained this to the person in the local office and he said we were too late to meet the group—we should have been at the meeting site by 9:45. I stated we had been there since 9:30 and had seen no one from Signature Tours. He then asked me why I had waited until 10:15 to call about the tour and said that if I had really been at the meeting point and was concerned about finding the tour guide, I should have called his office by 9:30, which (by his own instruction over the phone) was 15 minutes BEFORE the tour guide was supposed to meet us!! Who calls to ask if someone is late 15 minutes before they are supposed to arrive?? I restated that we were at the meeting site before the guide was supposed to be there and he again said, “Everyone else was there, but you were not.” There was only one platform at the train station and it would have been impossible to miss a tour company guide. I requested a refund for the tour or a different time to take the tour, but was told that since we were the ones who didn’t show up (even though I was standing at the meeting site while having this phone conversation), there would be no refund or rescheduling. What I suspect happened is that the tour company did not want to send a guide when it was raining steadily and rather than canceling or rescheduling, they simply falsely accused us of not being at the meeting site and said that the tour left without us. I am thoroughly disgusted with this tour company and would NEVER recommend them to anyone!!
