Thank you for the 5 star review. I am glad you enjoyed your tour experience.
Matt did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable and personable. Definitely worth the money. Just know it’s a lot of walking (about 2 miles).
Matt was a great tour guide! I am definitely glad we decided to book with him vs the tram or trolley tours because it felt like we were able to see more and were able to get closer to everything. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and was able to go in depth to answer a lot of our questions. He even waited a little bit for us, as we were having issues with our hotel and were running a bit late on our tour day. It was a pretty long walk but Matt is great about stopping enough in the shade to give everyone a rest. We will for sure be recommending his tour to everyone we know that goes to Arlington for a visit! It's worth it!!
Thank you for the 5 star review! I am glad that you enjoyed your tour.
Matt’s incredible patience and deep knowledge made our time with the group so special. Hearing his stories brought the whole area to life, and we learned so much from him!
Thank you for the 5 star review. I am glad you had a special tour experience.
Matt has a passion for history and a wonderful knowledge of the cemetery. He has excellent stories and pointed out interesting features of the cemetery and Arlington House.
Thank you for the 5 star review. I am glad you enjoyed your tour.
Matt was a fabulous guide. History is clearly his passion and he was very knowledgeable. We learned so many small details about Arlington that no one in our party had ever heard. He knew the perfect spot to get a great view of the Tomb of the Unknown and made sure we were able to see the inspection before the changing of the guard as well. We never felt rushed and saw many areas of the cemetery we would never have seen on own, including Arlington House. Highly recommend!!
Thank you for the 5 star review. I am glad you enjoyed the information you learned and your tour experience.
Our tour guide, Matt, was excellent. He explains in good detail the history of multiple sites and graves in Arlington Cemetery. There was some people from Scotland in our group and Matt showed us the monument in remembrance of the people that lost their lives in the bombing of flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland. The changing of the guard was excellent. We had a great experience thanks to Matt's knowledge.
Thank you for the 5 star review. It was great meeting you.
Many thanks to Matt our very personable and friendly guide for the tour. Extremely informative and knowledgeable and had a great skill of weaving the stories and backgrounds of the small number in the group of those on the tour on his walkabout. Use of his knowledge gave us a great view of the changing of the honour guard and placement of the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Easy communication and meeting point pick up. 3 hour tour went in a heart beat and no worries of replenishment stops or comfort breaks. Good value for money. Would put Arlington on the to do list and use Matt if you’ve never been
Thank you for the 5 star review! I am glad you enjoyed your tour experience.
Matt was an outstanding guide for our Arlington National Cemetery tour. He clearly knew the history inside and out, and shared it with real passion and respect for the site. He struck the perfect balance between informative and moving, pointing out details we would have missed on our own and giving context that made the cemetery’s history come alive. He was also very patient with questions. Highly recommend Matt if you want a knowledgeable, heartfelt tour of Arlington.
Thank you for the 5 star review and kind words. Both are greatly appreciated.
Matt was so knowledgeable about the history of Arlington National Cemetery. His tour was so informative but his patience was beyond belief... we took our grandchildren to the tour and he was so attentive and kind to them. They can be a little much especially when they complained about the walking. It was awesome to have him take group photos of our group at the most scenic points in the tour. Thank you Matt for all that you do.
Thank you for the 5 star review. I am glad that you all enjoyed your tour.
