Great experience

Chad_H, Nov 2024

Nur was an exceptional guide. Very friendly, highly knowledgeable. We learned a lot on this tour. There is so much to see and having a walking guide lefts you really take everything in.

Arlington Cemetary Tour - Great Guide/ Great Experience

Kimberli_C, Dec 2023

Nur was an excellent guide! It was only my immediate family on the tour so we had a really tailored experience. Nur made sure we saw all the highlights and timed us to be at JFK's grave site and the Tomb of the Unknown Solider as they were being wreathed for Christmas time. Unbelievable experience. He answered all our questions, was fun and imformative. Overall a really great mix for a tour. Highly Recommend

Disappointing

John_S, Oct 2023

It never happened. We waited & waited outside the visitor center but the guide never showed, despite repeated requests.

EXCELLENT

David_B, Oct 2023

Nur the guide was absolutely brilliant and provided an excellent and really informative tour of the cemetery at exactly the right pace.

Jane_O, Sep 2023

We didn’t get on the tour. It was cancelled about an hour before it was scheduled. There was only a light on and off drizzle and “weather forecast” was the reason given in an email for the cancellation to Arlington National Cemetery

Great historical informaton

Deborah_P, Aug 2023

A great private tour with lots of info and a wonderful guide. We were happy to have scheduled this tour.

Nur was awesome!

Bonnie_B, Aug 2023

Our tour guide, Nur, was a king of history! He taught us so much about the Arlington Cemetery and those buried there.

Arlington cemetery and Changing of the gaurs

gloria_v, Aug 2023

Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He walked at a pace that was right for us and still had us at the changing of the guards ceremony at the appropriate time. He engaged every one in our group with facts and questions.

Cancelled for ‘no’ rain

laura_k, Jul 2023

Our tour guide who was not in Virginia said it was raining in Arlington National Cemetery. We arrived at Arlington National Cemetery. It was not raining. I called the tour guide. She cancelled the tour. I am trying to figure out how to get a refund.

Arlington is a must see! Nur was an amazing guide.

Jill_W, Jul 2023

Nur Gray was our guide and he was excellent! His knowledge was amazing. My husband, son and I talked about how much better our experience was doing the walking tour with the guide in a small group. I highly recommend him and this experience!

Waste

Kevin_G, Jul 2023

The guide never showed up. I don’t know why I’m being asked to give a review when I should be getting a refund that I submitted for.

Disrespectful yo the Visitors

Karen_E, Jul 2023

They canceled 5 minutes before it started! Then they said we could still have a tour if we were willing to wait 4 hours! Wow. We waited for this. We planned this! We also paid a parking fee.

Emotional and memorable

Robert_R, Jun 2023

JFK eternal flame, changing of the guard. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and as a Royal Naval veteran I enjoyed the whole experience. I was struck by how many children’s groups were there, which I find very encouraging and applaudable.

Narrated tour of the Arlington Cementary makes the experience even more special

David_B, Nov 2021

The trip to this important landmark is not the same without the historical commentary of a guide. In this tour we received a lof of interesting points of information from the guide and went to all the relevant areas of the cementary including JFKs memorial, the changing of the guard, among others.

A Walk through History

Mona_M, Nov 2021

Learning the history of the Cemetery was most memorable, thanks Nur. The changing of the Guards ceremony was outstanding. The attention to details, commitment, and honor! We also saw a Honor Flight group which reminded me, veterans of old have not been forgotten. I was very impressed by the Military Women’s Memorial, showing when and how women have courageously taken charge through out military history. We were blessed with pleasant weather, the 2-hour walk went by fast!

Great tour guide
