5.0Allen was an incredible guide for our Arlington National Cemetary tour. He gives a fantastic historical account of the cemetary and takes you to all of the notable graves. He tells you about the history of some who are buried there. Allen times his tour so you can see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Unlike any other tour that just drives you around, you walk through a lot of the cemetary and it gives you time to ask questions while you get some exercise. Allen also had complimentary hand warmers and gave us each an envelope which included local things to do and great places to eat. Being a historical guide is clearly his passion and it really shows! Thank you!

Our tour guide Derrick was very knowledgeable, very friendly and despite the very cold and windy weather conditions outdoors today… he never let the weather bother with him guiding us through the cemetery and offering unique information about specific soldiers laid to rest there…. We give Derrick a 5 star rating….
