Traveler reviews
Arlington with James
James made our tour enjoyable despite the extreme heat! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a great sense of humor, which kept the experience fun from start to finish. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an informative and entertaining tour.
James was great!
Great tour by James! He was an amazing historian that knew his facts. Thanks James!
No show
It is cheaper to take a trolley bus tour around the cemetery. The guide on the bus was very knowledgable and the pace of the tour was good. Just remember to take some water with you. Unfortunately our guide didn’t show up so this is how I know the on site tour is cheaper
Best tour ever!!
My son and I had a great time, our guide was very knowledgeable, we really learned about a lot of history about some of the people buried there, great experience, will definitely book again!! And will request tge same guide!
History in real life
Very informative and saw lots. More for adults than kids but was still able to make it meaningful. Beautiful day.
