Wir zeigen Ihnen nicht nur die Seiten; Wir erzählen Ihnen die Geschichten. Kommen Sie mit auf diese familienfreundliche Tour zu einem der heiligsten Stätten des Landes.
Erweisen Sie den Kennedys Respekt: Präsident John F. Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Ted Kennedy und ihrem ältesten Bruder, Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr.
Hier erfahren Sie die Geschichte eines echten „Captain America“, des Medaillenträgers Audie Murphy, und sprechen über die nahegelegenen Gedenkstätten USS Maine, Space Shuttle Challenger, Space Shuttle Columbia und Iran Rescue Mission.
Wir erklären Ihnen die Geschichte der Wachablösung, erklären Ihnen, was es bedeutet, ein Wachposten zu sein und sorgen dafür, dass Sie einen der besten Einblicke in diese altehrwürdige Tradition erhalten.
Gedenken Sie der Opfer der Raumfähren Challenger, Columbia und der Iran Rescue Mission. „Remember the Maine“ und erfahren Sie, woher dieser Schlachtruf stammt, während Sie den Originalmast des Schiffs betrachten.
Gehen Sie auf die Spitze des Hügels und genießen Sie einen atemberaubenden Blick auf Washington, D.C. Wir werden Zeit haben, die „Sklavenhäuser“ und das Museum kurz zu besichtigen, um zu verstehen, wie Robert E. Lees Haus zum Arlington National Cemetery wurde
Sehen Sie das Air Force Memorial von weitem vom Arlington House-Gelände aus und erfahren Sie, wie sich der Arlington Cemetery erweitert, um dieses Denkmal zu umgeben.
Wir gehen nicht an Abschnitt 60 vorbei, in dem oft Familien und Angehörige Gräber der in den letzten Jahren im Einsatz Getöteten besuchen, aber wir sprechen über das bleibende Erbe des Arlington Cemetery heute.
Für alle, die den zusätzlichen 15-minütigen Spaziergang zum Iwo Jima Marine Corps Memorial außerhalb des Friedhofs unternehmen möchten, haben wir eine selbstgeführte Audiotour und eine Karte bereitgestellt. Der Reiseleiter wird Sie bei diesem Stopp nicht begleiten. Am Iwo Jima Marine Corps Memorial können Sie entweder 10 Minuten weiter zur Rosslyn Metro fahren oder 15 Minuten zurück zum Arlington Cemetery Visitor Center laufen.
Wir beenden die Tour vor dem Military Women's Memorial und Museum, wo Sie erfahren können, wie Frauen im Laufe der Jahre zur militärischen Macht Amerikas beigetragen haben.
Der erste Präsident, der auf dem Arlington-Friedhof begraben wurde, Präsident (und Oberster Richter) Taft, liegt hier mit seiner Frau Nellie Taft. Ihren Bemühungen ist es zu verdanken, dass wir die berühmten Kirschblütenbäume haben.

Unfortunately in my tour we didn't go to all the places listed on the itinerary, I would recommend not paying for this and only hitting the spots you're intereted in. Alot of the facts given seemed googable so you could also just google things as you approach certain areas. My tour guide didn't seem experienced enough and it made the tour feel pointless, he left a lot of questions unanswered or lack of recalling certain things. On a positive note this is great for foreign tourists who are just looking to learn a little of American history and if you like company these are great. It also helps to take pictures with your group.
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback, and I'm glad the tour gave you a chance to connect and learn some American history. I do want to gently clarify a couple of points for future readers. Our itinerary was completed with one exception: a stop was inaccessible due to a funeral taking place nearby, which was outside our control. I also want to note that our guide is a 7-year Air Force veteran with deep personal knowledge of the cemetery's history. Partway through the tour, time was spent locating you after you didn't return to the group at the scheduled meeting time, which unfortunately meant missing some of the commentary in that section. I mention this only because it may explain some of the gaps you experienced. We take guide quality seriously, and I'd welcome the chance to talk through your experience directly. Please feel free to reach out to us as we sent you a message in response to your refund request. Thank you again for your feedback.
Excellent trip. In depth explanation. Such a peaceful place to visit. Such a great honor and respect for all those warriors who gave their lives for the country. And that was the day of "flower of remembrance" such a great privilege and honor to visit this place on that day. Our guide was awesome. Even though it was a few hours trip, the guide, Trevor became a very good friend. Very friendly yet very professional.
Thank you! We're so glad you had such a meaningful experience with Trevor. His knowledge and warm personality truly make the tour special. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon!
The Fontanelle Cemetery in Naples is a fascinating place rich in history, offering a unique experience to those who visit. Its mysterious and evocative atmosphere is enhanced by the chapels and visible bones, which tell stories of life and death. The attention to detail and the cultural significance of the site make it an unmissable landmark. The visit is enriched by the guides' preparation, who share anecdotes and local legends, making each stop fascinating. The unique architecture and the peace that permeates create a fascinating contrast with the lively life of Naples. This cemetery is not just a burial place, but a true open-air museum that offers a profound reflection on life, death, and Neapolitan tradition. Highly recommended Especially bring the children
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the tour and found it both fascinating and meaningful. It's great to hear our guide helped bring the history and local stories to life. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again!
Despite the hills and stairs, the tour was worth it. The guide was very knowledgeable. Learned more on this tour than when I took the tram tour.
Thank you! We're so glad you found the tour worthwhile and informative. It's great to hear you learned even more than on the tram tour. We appreciate your feedback!
The tour was very interesting. Colin did a great job. He pointed out relevant items as we walked by and took us to the main tourist attractions as well. We had a great time and learned a lot about the cemetery and the civil war.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Colin. We appreciate your kind words and are happy you had a fun and informative experience learning about the cemetery and its history.
Kevin was guide and was fantastic. Took all of our questions in stride and if he didn’t know he would just let us know that. He found out they were laying a wreath and the Tomb of the Unknown Solider and he made sure we stayed.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Kevin. His knowledge, honesty, and attention to special moments like the wreath-laying ceremony truly make for a memorable experience!
We booked the 2.5 hour walking tour. It is not a difficult walk but you will want to make sure you are wearing good shoes for walking. This was the best tour we went on while in DC. Our tour guide, Trevor, was knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommended him as a tour guide. The tour was well organized and we were grateful for the opportunity to see the changing of the guard ceremony. We were given several opportunities throughout the tour to ask Trevor questions and developed a deeper understanding of the history and significance of Arlington Cemetery.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Trevor and found it both informative and memorable. We appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled you had the opportunity to experience the Changing of the Guard ceremony!
Definitely take the walking tour. Tyler our tour guide was very good and informative. You can see so much more than taking the tour bus
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the walking tour with Tyler. We appreciate your recommendation and are happy you found it informative and worthwhile!
Tour guide Glen S. Very knowledgeable and personable. He positioned us to get the best views for the changing of the guard and wreath ceremonies.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Glen. His knowledge and attention to detail truly help create a memorable experience!
This is the perfect way to see Arlington. Greg was our tour guide. He guided us so that we arrived in time to get a great seat for the changing of the guard. He recognized right away there would be a wreath ceremony so after the changing of the guard he guided us so we had a front row seat to watch the Sentinel give instructions to the group laying the wreath. He was so knowledgeable.
Thank you! We're so glad Greg helped make your Arlington experience so memorable. His knowledge and timing truly make a difference. We appreciate your kind words!
