Traveler reviews
Arlington Insight
Kevin is an excellent communicator, very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his craft. We have visited Arlington several times and learned more in our tour with Kevin then on all previous visits combined.
Terrific tour
Our guide Kevin was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
Arlington Cemetery
We had a fantastic couple of hours in the company of Jim. He was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome. Due to the time he has spent at the cemetery and a broad spectrum of family connections his knowledge is second to none. He primed us for the Changing of the Guard ceremony with information on both the Sentinels and the process. Jim was excellent company for the time we spent there Many thanks
Very informative and entertaining tour
Jim was an amazing host. As a previous employee of the cemetery, he was very knowledgeable and told many first hand stories. Would highly recommend!
