What a wonderful trip! Our guide, Allen McCabe, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much history with us. Having a guide made the experience far more enriching than wandering around on our own. I highly recommend this tour and Allen!

Our guide Allen McGabe was very knowledgeable and had good answers for all the questions from our group. I'm really glad we booked this tour, as Arlington National Cemetery was super crowded with school groups when we visited. It would not have been fun locating the interesting sites on our own, plus Allen told many interesting stories about this or that perhaps unremarkable headstone or tree that made it way more interesting. It's just good to have a guide who knows the place. Allen also, for example, positioned us in the best spot to view the changing of the guard, which we really appreciated.

Derrick was a great guide. He took the time to point out certain headstones that would otherwise be missed and gave more depth to the tour than if I would have done it alone.
