Great tour!

We had the best time! This was my 3rd time visiting Arlington and was the best tour we have had! Ingeborg was so well informed and answered all of our questions. Our group was only 7 so it was extra great!

Dennis was very informative and entertaining. Lots of great info and much better than just wandering around.

There is just a ton of history at Arlington and all in a beautiful setting high above the city. The guide, Dennis, was knowledgeable, friendly and broadly open-minded. He encouraged us at the end of the tour to lvisit the memorial to women who had volunteered in the armed forces and it was very worthwhile. For us the visit was also sadly ironic: Dennis had explained that flags flown on the ground are flown at "half staff" to mark a death ("half mast" describing only flags flown on ships) and had pointed out that all the flags were at full staff. But by the time I was back in my hotel the news was reporting the death of Jimmy Carter and I was doubly glad to have spent the morning at Arlington.

Excellent!

This was a wonderful tour experience. Our guide, Trevor, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was organized and professional and made us feel very comfortable.
