Arlington National Cemetery

Start at the Arlington National Cemetery, a sobering reminder of the realities of war. It’s 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, 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.

Learn about the first president, George Washington, while viewing his sword and discover how Hollywood has helped shape this country when you check out Dorothy’s ruby red slippers. Visit the extensive collection of first ladies’ gowns to the Greensboro lunch counter that embodies the Civil Rights Movement.

Excellent guided walking tour! Brenda was extremely knowledgeable of relevant historical facts and trivia, answered all of our many questions, and tailored the walk to include several of our personal points of interest. This Arlington visit was the highlight of our vacation to the nation's capital.

Doug was a great guide! He was very attentive and informative. He set a great pace for a long walk through Arlington National Cemetery. Next we toured the American History Museum. I know we would not have seen some of the places and exhibits that Doug guided us to. He is a fountain of knowledge and a great guide. Thanks for a great experience!
