Si le cimetière national d'Arlington a été sur votre «bucket list», c'est la visite pour vous. - Format petit groupe pour une expérience plus personnalisée - Guide expert partageant des connaissances historiques approfondies - Explorer des sites significatifs qui ont façonné l'histoire américaine - Parfait pour les passionnés d'histoire ou tous ceux qui souhaitent explorer Arlington

Itinéraire
Au cours de cette visite à pied d'une heure et demie, les invités pourront voir la relève de la garde sur la tombe du soldat inconnu, visiter les tombes Kennedy, voir le mât de l'USS Maine, s'arrêter aux monuments commémoratifs aux équipages de 2 navettes spatiales, voir la tombe du héros de la Seconde Guerre mondiale Audie Murphy, en apprendre davantage sur les qualifications pour être enterré à Arlington, comprendre comment Arlington est passé d'une forêt à une plantation au plus grand cimetière militaire du pays. Voir l'ancienne maison du général Robert E. Lee, de la guerre de Sécession. Découvrez comment Arlington se prépare pour l'avenir, car elle reste le terrain le plus sacré des États-Unis. Portez des chaussures de marche confortables! Il y a un terrain vallonné dans le cimetière - bien que toute la visite se fasse sur des routes pavées et des trottoirs. Nous tournons par tous les temps.
Le manoir est maintenant un musée géré par le National Park Service. Il est gratuit et généralement ouvert aux mêmes horaires que le cimetière. Nos visites ne vont pas dans la maison - mais il y aura beaucoup de temps pour vous d'explorer à votre rythme avant la fermeture du cimetière.
Le monument aux femmes militaires se trouve près de l'entrée du cimetière national d'Arlington. Il s'agit d'un magnifique musée honorant les plus de 3 millions de femmes qui ont servi dans l'armée américaine et qui la soutiennent depuis plus de 250 ans. Le musée est gratuit et ouvert au public, généralement aux mêmes heures que le cimetière - 8 h à 17 h. Notre visite ne va pas à l'intérieur car les clients ont tendance à voir les musées à leur propre rythme.

Allen is very friendly and knowledgeable. You won’t be disappointed. He knows the best spot to view the changing of the guard.
I wish I could give 10 stars! This was one of the best walking tours we have ever done. Allen was extremely knowledgeable about Arlington National Cemetery, the history, fun facts, and so many stories he shared with us that really made our experience unforgettable. If this is your first time visiting, do a walking tour, and do it with Allen! You won’t regret it.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I am so glad you enjoyed your tour of America's most hallowed ground. It was a pleasure showing you this remarkable place. All the best. Allen
Alan put us in the best position to watch the change of the guard/ very knowledgeable/ very good experience
Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure giving you and your wife a tour of Arlington National Cemetery. Glad I could show you a couple of famous people from New Jersey! Thanks again for booking with me. Hope to see you again someday. All the best, Allen
Allen was a very knowledgeable and professional tour guide. All the extras we learned about the history of the Arlington cemetery and seeing what highly respected grounds it is was so touching. It was an honor to visit such sacred grounds. The change of the guards is amazing.
Thank you for the kind words! It was great to have you and your family on the tour. Enjoy DC and safe travels home. Best, Allen
Incredible tour! Our guide Allen shared his considerable knowledge and passion for not only the people buried at Arlington, but also the fascinating history and architecture of the beautiful property itself. He made names on graves and monuments come alive again and beautifully and sensitively reminded our group of the sacrifices made by so many for the freedom we all share. So many heroes are buried here, and Allen highlighted such a variety, from presidents to everyman heroes with amazing stories. Allen welcomed questions and even helped a member of our group find the grave of a relative. Allen easily personalized the tour to our pace and interests. Every American should visit Arlington National Cemetery, but an insightful visit with Monumental Walks will leave you awed, grateful, and proud. Thank you Allen!
Thank you very much for the wonderful review. It is an honor to show this special place to visitors like yourself. I am glad you enjoyed the tour - and I hope you'll come back to see us again. All the best. Allen
Hands down, the best tour(s) I have been on. After going on one of Allen McCabe's tours, I knew we would be going on more. Allen has a way of not just teaching our history but bringing us back in time to it. While multiple people may be on the tours, he spoke to us like it was a personal conversation we are all in together. Allen's Monumental Walks are so captivating that my group actually said they couldn't believe the hours he spent with us went by so fast. My family and I laughed at everyone's wide eyes and slacked jaws that we thought "if he kept talking to us, everyone would follow him home". He is an encyclopedia of knowledge, but entertaining, and when asked by people what they should do while they are in DC, I refer them all to Monumental Walks. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you so much for the very kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour! It's an honor to take guests through America's most hallowed ground. I hope you'll come back and see us again. Allen
Our family (mom, dad, and 3 girls ages 11, 11, and 14) went on one of Allen's tours of Arlington while we were in D.C. for Spring Break and it was the highlight of all of our trip. Allen is so incredibly knowledgeable about the cemetery and its history, as well as the best vantage point for seeing things like the changing of the guard, he's pleasant, flexible and just a gem. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the very kind words. I am so glad you enjoyed our tour through America's most hallowed ground. Allen
Allen was one of the best tour guides I have ever had to be quite honest. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, this is your guy. Next time we are back in DC, I’ll be looking him up.
It was a pleasure having you on the tour of Arlington National Cemetery. Thank you for the very kind words. All the best. Allen
Allen is the best guide, he made us fall in love with this cemetery. We plan to do this tour again on our next visit. Thanks, Allen for a fantastic visit.
What a very nice review. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour of Arlington. It is a special place indeed. All the best. Allen
Went on this tour with Allen on the first week of April and had a great experience. Lots of great and interesting info presented during this walking tour. Allen kept a good, easy pace which helped the older family members in my party. There was plenty of parking spaces at the parking lot structure right next to the cemetery. Prior to the event Allen communicated with us via text, which also provided a good way to ask any tour questions prior to our meetup. Would definitely recommend this tour with Allen for those who haven't been to Arlington.
Thank you for the kind words about the tour. I am glad you enjoyed it! All the best. Allen
