Resplan
På denna 2,5 timmars rundvandring kommer gästerna att se vaktombytet vid den okände soldatens grav, besöka Kennedygravarna, se masten på USS Maine, stanna till vid minnesmärkena över besättningarna på 2 rymdfärjor, se andra världskrigets hjälte Audie Murphys grav, lära sig om kvalifikationerna för att begravas i Arlington, få en förståelse för hur Arlington övergick från en skog till en plantage till landets största militärkyrkogård. Se inbördeskrigsgeneral Robert E. Lees tidigare hem. Lär dig hur Arlington planerar för framtiden eftersom det fortsätter att vara Amerikas mest heliga mark. Använd bekväma promenadskor! Det finns en del kuperad terräng på kyrkogården - men hela turen är på asfalterade vägar och trottoarer. Vi turnerar i alla väder.
Herrgården är numera ett museum som förvaltas av National Park Service. Det är gratis och i allmänhet öppet samma tider som kyrkogården. Våra turer går inte i huset - men det kommer att finnas gott om tid för dig att utforska i din egen takt innan kyrkogården stänger.
Military Women's Memorial ligger nära ingången till Arlington National Cemetery. Detta är ett underbart museum som hedrar de mer än 3 miljoner kvinnor som har tjänstgjort i, och stöder, den amerikanska militären över 250-åriga historia. Museet är gratis och öppet för allmänheten, i allmänhet samma tider som kyrkogården - 08:00 till 17:00. Vår rundvandring går inte inne eftersom gästerna tenderar att titta på museer i sin egen takt.

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
