Hands down one of the best of many tours I have been on. Our guid Dwayne, amazing! I had a flight to leave next day and was going to be cutting it close and Criss and the crew at Signature Tours found me an earlier tour that made it happen! This was one of the most memorable tours I have ever been on. Dwayne, our guide, told us much more history they could list on the site. As a history nerd myself, I could listen it to way longer than the tour is listed. 10/10 would recommend and anyone I know is going to be steered to this tour guide co.
Fantastic!

James was our tour guide. He was excellent! As 2 physicians without much background in American history, we learned a great deal walking the Arlington Cemetery with James. He brought history to life with humor, passion, and sincerity. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you can request James as your tour guide!

Tyrone was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable and personable. It rained the whole time but his enthusiasm was not dampened!

Dwayne was our tour guide. Was very patient when the other people were late and they still did not show up. Great public speaker. I have hearing issues but could hear him great even without him having to shout to be respectful of the venue. I am in my 50s and did not know the Vietnam tomb was empty until Dwayne dropped the knowledge on me! Highly recommend him and tip generously!
