Good morning! My name is Brittany McFadden. I just wanted to reach out and let you know how wonderful the private Arlington tour with the changing of the guard was yesterday. Paul was our tour guide and he was very accommodating to the needs of our group. We had two push wheelchairs and Arlington has many hills, but he ensured we had proper rest time, hydration, and offered assistance all while still ensuring we had an excellent informative and fun tour. Really excellent job!

Paul was a great guide! Very knowledgeable and was very impressed by his backwards walking to face us while talking to the group.
