Itinerario
No solo le mostramos los sitios; te contamos las historias. Únase a este recorrido familiar por uno de los terrenos más sagrados de esta nación.
Respete a los Kennedy: el presidente John F. Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Ted Kennedy y su hermano mayor, Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr.
Aquí se cuenta la historia de un verdadero "Capitán América", Audie Murphy, ganadora de la Medalla de Honor, y se analizan los cercanos monumentos conmemorativos del USS Maine, el transbordador espacial Challenger, el transbordador espacial Columbia y la misión de rescate de Irán.
Le explicaremos la historia del Cambio de Guardia, lo que se necesita para ser un centinela y nos aseguraremos de que obtenga una de las mejores vistas de esta tradición consagrada.
Honre a los perdidos en la misión de rescate de los transbordadores espaciales Challenger, Columbia e Irán. "Recuerda el Maine" y descubre de dónde vino este grito de guerra mientras observas el mástil del barco original.
Dirígete a la cima de la colina para disfrutar de una vista impresionante de Washington, DC. Tendremos tiempo para visitar brevemente las "Casas de Esclavos" y el Museo para comprender cómo la casa de Robert E. Lee se convirtió en el Cementerio Nacional de Arlington.
Vea el monumento de la Fuerza Aérea desde la distancia de los terrenos de Arlington House y aprenda cómo el cementerio de Arlington se está expandiendo para rodear este monumento.
No pasamos por la Sección 60, que a menudo tiene familias y seres queridos visitando tumbas de los muertos en acción en los últimos años, pero hablamos del legado duradero del cementerio de Arlington hoy.
Proporcionamos un recorrido de audio autoguiado y un mapa para cualquiera que desee realizar una caminata adicional de 15 minutos para visitar el Iwo Jima Marine Corps Memorial fuera del cementerio. El guía no se unirá a usted en esta parada. En Iwo Jima Marine Corps Memorial, puede continuar 10 minutos hasta el metro Rosslyn o caminar 15 minutos de regreso hasta el Centro de visitantes del cementerio de Arlington.
Finalizamos el recorrido frente al museo y Memorial de las Mujeres Militares, donde podrá aprender cómo las mujeres han contribuido al poder militar de Estados Unidos a través de los años.
El primer presidente enterrado en el cementerio de Arlington, el presidente (y presidente del Tribunal Supremo) Taft, yace aquí con su esposa, Nellie Taft. Gracias a sus esfuerzos tenemos los famosos cerezos en flor.

Becca was a fantastic guide. She knew the answers to our all of our questions. She’s also got an upbeat personality!
It was a beautiful and humbling experience seeing the many many headstones of the men and women who fought and died for our freedom! God bless America! The jet flyovers were a bonus!!! Although our guide could have been better. That is why the 3 stars.
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!
