    Reid is a very good tour guide. He brought his experience as a Naval aviator to enhance the explanation of the many sites at Arlington. It was a very worthwhile tour because we were able to see and here about many of the grave sites and monuments which we would otherwise not have leaned about.

    What an amazing experience we had. We are veterans and loved the reverence at the changing of the guard ceremony, beautifully done. Our guide Reid was also a veteran. His stories were rich with history. He made the tour a highlight of our stay. Highly recommend
