Traveler reviews
ARLINGTON Cemetery discovery
Our guide, James, allowed us to discover Arlington Cemetery with all his passion, experience, and deep knowledge of the subject. He showed us the best vantage point for the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and also pointed out the burial sites of many notable figures—all topped off with numerous anecdotes only he knows how to tell. It was a fascinating and insightful tour, and truly the best way to experience this site. A HUGE thank you to James—we hope he continues sharing his passion for a long time to come! Best regards, JC and Marie
