What travelers are saying
We had a wonderful experience with Allen and our time at Arlington. The tour was thoughtfully planned and very thorough. We were allowed ample time to ask questions and talk about what we were seeing. We were also not moving the entire tour, which allowed us to take in what we were seeing and hearing. I highly recommend Allen and would most definitely book with him again.
Our guide was very informative and made sure that we saw the “important “ aspects of the cemetery. She had a wealth of knowledge to share about some of the gravestones we visited. It seems like you learn more when you are on a small group guided tour. She explained the details at great length and made us very comfortable!
Great tour. Have done twice. Tim was a great guide.
Mari Beth was great. She communicated the day before and provided an exceptional tour of Arlington. She shared so much history and we really enjoyed the tour with her.
Jennifer was great. My daughter had a injured knee and Jennifer was sweet to make sure she was comfortable. We grabbed the trolly to get up to the main points easier. I would recommend Jennifer to my clients.
Great guide and good information.
