5.00Our tour guide, Robert, was extremely knowledgable about the area and entertained us with tons of facts, stories, jokes and information. He was really prompt and kept us updated while pointing out different areas of interest and we learned things we never knew.
Must see with respect

4.00This is not just a cemetery. There is alot of history and story in this site. I definitely recommend getting a trolley ticket, as it will help you navigate the cemetery so you can see everything. The conductors point out sites and provide alot of information. You can walk the site however you may miss out on some significant sites. Definitely must see is the changing of the guard at the unknown soldiers tombs. Arlington House has amazing views of the city, a photographer's dream. The house is also open to look through to see how the original owners would have decorated the rooms. The cemetery is still a working cemetery so a level of respect is required especially if you do see a military funeral.
Decent experience despite weather.

3.00The very cold windy weather was the problem! The tour and staff and drivers were just fine. Sometimes the narrator kind of mumbled (he sounded bored).

5.00We had a few different guides but my favorite was Doug. He was very knowledgeable with a flawless presentation, and his voice was perfect. It’s difficult for me to put my finger on what was so likelable but it was almost like we were all friends having a discussion about historical events. He is a storyteller for sure.
Good narrators
