Traveler reviews
Absolutely 5 Stars- like going on an executive tour with a Master of History
This was a 5 ⭐️Experience! Maribeth was our Tour Director and she was akin to taking a tour with a beloved & favored History teacher. I will recommend her to everyone. Not only does she know American History like the back of her hand, but she is a voracious reader of all things related to reliably sourced Historical Fiction and similarly well sourced biographies, etc. What a treat!
Experience at Arlington Cemetery and house
Enjoyed learning about cemetery and the Arlington house. Able to find my cousin grandparents.
Highly Recommend
We came to DC for a wedding, but added a few extra days to do some sightseeing. Arlington National Cemetery was at the top of our list of places to visit. It did not disappoint. Our tour guide, Amanda, was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and personable. It was a hot day, but she was good about finding shade. She even brought along small prepackaged washcloths that she had frozen before the tour and handed them to our group to cool off. Now that's great customer service!
Recommend this tour
Our guide was Amanda and she was awesome. Very patient when anyone in the group wanted to take pictures and able to answer questions. Definitely recommend if anyone is looking for a more intimate tour of the cemetery I stead of just riding a trolley.
Exceptional
