Take the Tour. - So much to see the tour makes it more relaxing and enjoyable to see. Touring group was very great to be with made the trip even more enjoyable. The walking tour guide was pleasant and very personable. The Walking tour consisted of 6 and the bus tour consisted of 39. The guide never missed a step the with the larger group.

Great way to see a lot in 5 hours. - Tyrone is a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. The walking at Arlington is quite strenuous, particularly because it was a lot of uphill. I had a knee replacement and then a broken pelvis last year. Because it turned out to be just two of us on this portion of the tour, it worked out. The monument portion was paced a bit slower due to the bus being full.

Excellent Tour - Tyrone was excellent as a tour guide. He was friendly, funny, and informative. I really enjoyed this tour of the Washington DC sites. I only wish they would have added the Marine Corps Memorial, which would have been an easy stop as it is right next to Arlington. But all in all, the tour was well worth the money for sure. Highly recommended.

Must do tour - Your guides, Tyrone and Sally, was both knowledgeable and very outgoing. Would have liked a little more time at Arlington and the stop for the memorials for the Vietnam and Korean wars. There was so much to see and take in at all stops. I highly recommend this tour.

A great way to tour the city❤️ - Loved going to Arlington Cemetery! Also loved sightseeing in DC and hearing all about it! The one thing that I would Recommend is to take 30 minutes out for lunch or offer protein bars / snacks on the bus also with the water that was provided. You could even charge for the snacks, it would be much better! I was absolutely start by the end of the excursion….

Wonderful trip! - Everything we’ve seen in DC was very interesting. It was worth the money to have a guide. Joey and Thomas were very helpful, friendly and informative.
My only problem was not being able to go up into the Washington monument when it was included in the price. I’m still waiting for the refund of those two tickets.

Arlington guide Tyrone (1) was late, not friendly and only provided basic info. Sally (5) was great & very knowledgeable. I could've learned from her all day

Save your money! - Don’t bother! They moved our tour time from 1 to 10am which wouldn’t work for us as we had another tour booked at that time. Requested a refund, so they asked if we could make the 2:00 instead. We were told to meet our guide by the metro stop, so we got there at 1:45 and waited until 2:10 and he never showed up. We then called the numbers that were given and was told to meet the guide inside after we went through security. So we did that, never found the guide and began on our own. 2:30 rolls around and I’m told that I should’ve stayed by the metro stop and waited. Requesting a refund! We ended up exploring the cemetery on our own and hit everything we wanted to see!
