What To Expect

Arlington National Cemetery

A sobering reminder of the realities of war, the Arlington National Cemetery is a beautiful tribute to over 400,000 service members and their families buried there. Learn about the more famous tombs, like that of President John F. Kennedy. We’ll even explore a few surprising graves, like that of famed boxer Joe Louis. The cemetery is even home to memorials commemorating the disasters of space shuttles Columbia and Challenger. Along with a few carefully selected residents like Audie Murphy , your engaging guide will take you to the Tomb of the Unknowns where you may even witness a Changing of the Guard ceremony. Walk these hallowed grounds to learn how the home of Robert E. Lee, whose Arlington House we’ll visit, became one of the country’s largest national cemeteries.

Arlington Cemetery is an amazing place for respecting our fallen Americans as well as a place to learn so much of our history. Great guide who is passionate for maintaining the information of our past for generations to follow. Thank you Doug

My spouse and I were in town to take one of our children to college and decided to make a “weekend” out of it. I have been to Arlington Cemetery a few times but this was my husband’s first so opted for a personalized tour. Amanda was our guide and contacted us about 40 mins prior to let us know the meeting point and how to find her. We arrived early and chatted about DC, previous trips, her journey to DC. There were 2 other guests that originated from Florida and we were off. The day was overcast that turned to rain but Amanda found opportune places to stop under trees to discuss upcoming sites, history and answer questions (we didn’t prepare for weather well). One of the other guests had a neighbor whose husband was a 4 star general and laid to rest in the Cemetery. They discussed and Amanda looked it up to find his location and said she knew of the area and would take us. Amanda was a wealth of knowledge and her enjoyment of history and patriotism was apparent throughout. My spouse and I are Army veterans so we discussed our experiences in conjunction with her information and found her to be extremely genuine and respectful of the conversation, the Cemetery and the all around meaning of all that the US military has done. One could tell that many topics moved her and she shared personal experiences that cause her to become emotional. We were taken to see all of the Kennedy grave sights, the various military memorials, special graves of pertinent individuals and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for a changing of the guard and a wreath-laying ceremony. She told us the best place to view the event (won’t give that secret away) and what to expect. After the ceremony, she discussed the Old Guard and the history as well as the rigorous process of becoming a Tomb Sentinel. As we walked, she told us about the grave makings, the marble, symbols, application process to be laid to rest, etc. It’s the most information I ever received on any previous visit I had. Finally, she took us to section 7a where the other guest’s neighbor was buried. The grave marking spoke of his date of birth and death as well as his military rank, branch and awards. Within this section was an Astronaut from Apollo 14, numerous generals and statesmen and a boxer, The Brown Bomber (Joe Lewis), who served in WW II. After 3 hours, we concluded in the Visitors Center where Amanda offer restaurant and transportation tips. Overall, A+. Such a exceptional experience to learn and view a historic place with a guide who makes it over the top. Definitely ask for Amanda and pay the $-worth it!

Amanda was a great guide and gave us an experience that we would not have had if we didn’t have a guide. Great experience.
