This was our 2nd tour with Viator & would highly recommend. Jim was our outstanding.guide. He demonstrated an extensive knowledge not only of the cemetery itself but also of the many interred there. In addition, Jim showed us little known places as well as made sure we were able to see the changing of the guard. This is a definite must see especially with Jim. Thank you for such an amazing experience!
Jim is the best!

This walking tour was wonderful. Jim did a fantastic job walking our group through the cemetery illuminating us to all the history within. So many soldiers and others we had no idea were there. A lot of good and touching stories. He got us to the changing of the guards in perfect time and told us the best place to be to view it. Definitely recommend this tour. Be ready for a lot of walking.
