We had the pleasure of having William as our very own tour guide! He had a wealth of information going back to the origins of the land and all the wars that brought these noble people to rest in Arlington. He was very patient, kind and accommodating. The walk was long but he had a very nicely paced tour and we still saw everything we had come for. I would recommend this tour for adults and teens who have a keen interest in the history of this monument!! Thank you for a lovely morning adventure!!

Unfortunate disaster of a tour. We waited over a half hour on the steps to watch the changing of the guard & our tour guide James admitted he had the time wrong. We wasted 40 minutes waiting. Then he took us to another area and when we got back, we could hardly see the ceremony due to the crowd had filled in & we could not view it clearly. James reported now we didn’t have time to see some key areas & he actually took out his cell phone & showed us pics of what we missed. Two of us broke away from the tour to go see an area of our interest. It would be best to have a veteran give the tour from a veterans, respectable viewpoint also. James kept talking about how much he knew and could show us if we had all day but the tour was just for two hours. Ridiculous failure of a tour by our disorganized & forgetful guide. Perhaps he was just having a bad day. Arlington cemetery is worth visiting, but this particular tour w James was an unfortunate disaster. Arlington cemetery is an amazing place to go and learn about, but this tour definitely bombed. James spent as much time talking about himself as he did Arlington cemetery. There were two military veterans in our group So this tour was especially unfortunate for them. There were three couples in our group. The couple from Ireland were very disgruntled. A refund would not be inappropriate.

ABSOLUTELY AVOID THIS TOUR!!!! The local operator provided the instructions in the photo and we were at the meeting point 30 minutes before the tour time. It was raining steadily and no one from Signature Tours arrived. At 10:05 I placed a call to the local office to inquire if they were running late and was told that the tour had left without us because “everyone else” showed up except us, but there had been no other people milling about in a group, just individual families and couples exiting past the meeting location. I explained this to the person in the local office and he said we were too late to meet the group—we should have been at the meeting site by 9:45. I stated we had been there since 9:30 and had seen no one from Signature Tours. He then asked me why I had waited until 10:15 to call about the tour and said that if I had really been at the meeting point and was concerned about finding the tour guide, I should have called his office by 9:30, which (by his own instruction over the phone) was 15 minutes BEFORE the tour guide was supposed to meet us!! Who calls to ask if someone is late 15 minutes before they are supposed to arrive?? I restated that we were at the meeting site before the guide was supposed to be there and he again said, “Everyone else was there, but you were not.” There was only one platform at the train station and it would have been impossible to miss a tour company guide. I requested a refund for the tour or a different time to take the tour, but was told that since we were the ones who didn’t show up (even though I was standing at the meeting site while having this phone conversation), there would be no refund or rescheduling. What I suspect happened is that the tour company did not want to send a guide when it was raining steadily and rather than canceling or rescheduling, they simply falsely accused us of not being at the meeting site and said that the tour left without us. I am thoroughly disgusted with this tour company and would NEVER recommend them to anyone!!
