Itinerary

  • 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.

Excellent Experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our tour guide, Maribeth, was knowledgeable, friendly, curious, and willing to explore new parts of Arlington. My stepdaughter made a list of many unusual gravesites she wanted to see and Maribeth helped us find almost all of them. Among the less usual gravesites was the section dedicated to military nurses where my stepdaughter sighted Ruby Grace Bradley, a retired Army Colonel and former POW. She since did research and found a very moving history of Col Bradley, now a new inspiration for her quest to become a nurse. We highly recommend Babylon Tours and thank Maribeth for an excellent experience!

Arlington Cemetery Tour With Brenda

Published on Oct, 2024

Brenda was our tour guide. She was friendly and informative. We got to see every sight mentioned on this tour and then some. Changing of the guard was heartwarming and very patriotic. Loved the visit through the cemetery pathways. This included JFK burial site, Arlington House and stopping to let a funeral procession pass by. This procession included a military marching band, riderless horse and honor guards leading the procession. This experience reflected on how many men and women have given their lives so we can be free. God Bless the USA!

Very Nice Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We enjoyed the tour. Our guide Annemarie brought us some valuable insight into a number of key historical figures and their families. Front row viewing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was a highlight.

Must do
