Arlington Tour - The Arlington Cemetery tour was wonderful. It was a little crowded but things moved along very well. Short to no wait times. The tour people were very knowledgeable about everything at Arlington. There were many funerals that day, so the tour was shortened but still very educational and reverend.

Arlington Experience - I would thoroughly recommend this tour. It was great to be able to hop on and off the trolley cars for as long as you liked and the actual experience is humbling and dignified. And if you arrive back at the starting point and realise you have missed something you can go on another circuit as the ticket is valid for the day. Arlington house is a must see also. It really emphasises not only the futility of war but also in what high regard the U.S. military and its veterans are held. If you’re in Washington this tour is well worth doing.

Nice hop on off - The drivers were so nice and informed. The buses run on time and never ran into a problem finding a seat.

2024 quick trip to DC - The changing of the guard is so special. Being able to see that is always emotional. The opportunity to pay respect to the servicemen and women. There is also incredibly special. We saw some wild turkeys there this trip, that was really cool too.

Thankful For Their Service - The entire tour was very informative, but the highlight of the tour was the changing of the guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Very impressive.

Not Worth It If You Like Walking - Based on the reviews, I thought this would be an additive experience to our visit. There was no organization to boarding the tram after the visitors center, and while the gate agent I had to interrupt his eating on the job to ask how we check in told us to to go to the first car, the woman on the first car curtly told us it was for disabled riders. While riding to the major stops might be convenient for some, it actually takes longer than walking in some instances. I am sure this is helpful to some. The narration was not all that helpful. If you like going at your own pace and can walk 2-3 miles, you might want to skip this at $20 pp.
