Fun , easy, educational. Getting around Arlington cemetery was so easy on the tram. All of the narrators and rangers were educating us as we went from place to place. The staff are respectful and helpful in directing to all the locations.
Jennifer_C, Mar 2026
Awesome to see everything lit up at night. Highly recommend! Bus was very comfortable and guide was very well informed.
Gillian_T, Mar 2026
Great way to enjoy Arlington Cemetery.
Arrive early.
Don’t miss Changing of the Guardsmen.
Wonderful
Melanie_C, Mar 2026
Directions given were poor about when we could be picked back up so we only were able to ride out to Kennedy grave and that was it. I spent over $100 for 5 of us for a 3 minute ride. While that 3 minute ride was great it was not worth it since we had to walk the rest of the way.
Allison_D, Mar 2026
The timing between pick ups was inconsistent and we waited at one stop for over 30 minutes. Each tour guide was different, some were much better than others. If you are on a schedule and plan to have nicely timed stops, I would pick another option.
Denise_A, Mar 2026
Very informative guides liked being able to get on or off the tram without any hassle. Bus or tram was available every 20 minutes
Jayme_N, Mar 2026
Know that if you get off at any stop other than the Kennedy sight, tomb of the unknown, or Arlington house, you may need to wait up to 45 minutes for a trolly that isn't full. I traveled with just myself and my son and we waited at the coast guard memorial for a half hour until a trolly had 2 open seats. I imagine larger parties would wait even longer. If you are on a schedule, and want to hop on and off quickly, only hop off at the popular stops listed above. Since many people usually get off at those locations, you're more likely to get a seat on the trolly once those stopping exit. We were in no hurry but if you are, plan your hop offs accordingly.
Caleb_F, Mar 2026
This is my fourth time at Arlington National Cemetary and I ALWAYS do this tour. Totally worth it! The guides are always extremely knowledgable and it gets you to the spots way quicker than walking.
Christine_P, Jan 2026
Interesting and moving experience. Well worth the time and the saved steps with the trolley. We would highly recommend.
Graham_B, Dec 2025
Trolley bus around the cemetery with driver explaining every part. Stop get off and explore then board the next bus to go further on. There's more to Arlington than the graves.
Robert_H, Dec 2025
Our tour guide, Robert, was extremely knowledgable about the area and entertained us with tons of facts, stories, jokes and information. He was really prompt and kept us updated while pointing out different areas of interest and we learned things we never knew.
Connie_B, Nov 2025
Comfortable Convenient informative Russell was great he made it personal and offered silk poppies at the end
Merlin_S, Oct 2025
Arlington National Cemetery is definitely one to visit in Washington DC. We seen the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Very moving ! the tour guide did an excellent job explaining the history and some of the notables buried there..
Debra_F, Oct 2025
Wonderful tour! Guides are very knowledgeable. Learned so much we did not know! Great value for the price!
Dar_C, Sep 2025
Arlington is a beautiful place to recognize those who have sacrificed for our freedom 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have been there 3x and each time it’s very heart felt 🙏
SUZANNE_H, Sep 2025
Great narration and wonderful experience. It had been 30 years since my last visit to ANC and the changes are great.
Annette_W, Aug 2025
Arlington was a great experience. Minimized the walking while still getting to experience the sites.
Ted_K, Aug 2025
Great experience, detailed information outlined throughout the tour. Well worth the cost and time spent.
Tracy_A, Aug 2025
We had a great tour. Staff was organized and the guides were knowledgeable and made the tour very educational! The cemetery is enormous and we wouldn’t have seen a quarter of it without this tour. It’s worth every penny!
Alicia_A, Aug 2025
Knowing that we didn’t have the time or energy to walk the tour of the cemetery, this was a no brainer for us. The guides were very knowledgeable giving a lot of information. This is a great way to see Arlington. Highly recommend!
Beth_L, Aug 2025
Very humbling and beautiful place. Everyone needs to experience everything Arlington offers the people there were knowledgeable and courteous!
Michael_A, Aug 2025
The ride took us around the nation’s capital in an open air bus. We experienced all the sites DC is famous for. MJ our driver and tour guide was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and humorous which made for a perfect evening. We will do it again when we return to Washington.
Rhee_P, Aug 2025
Great experience, just wish the bus traveled a little slower to see the graves pointed out. Would do it again
Kane_B, Jul 2025
The guides were very knowledgeable and gave guidance on the Trolley. The trolley is a good way to Arlington National Cemetery.
Ashley_B, Jul 2025
It was a good tour and nice break to sit for awhile after exploring DC. They are outdoor trams so on hot days bring a fan.
John_K, Jul 2025
It was nice to ride from place to place , however the three shuttles I rode , only 1 ( Lisa ) didn’t act as though she was on Morning drive time radio ..” and over heeereeeeeeere we have ( 20 second pause ) the grave of the First man to orbit the earth ( WRONG , it was Yuri Gagarin ) Senator Johhhhhhhhhhhn Glennnnnnnnn ! I realize they do this 10 times a day, 5 days a week.. but most of these people riding is their first time at Arlington ! You really want that experience to be THAT ?!
DebbieE_D, Jul 2025
It was a VERY hot afternoon so the ride was very appreciated! If you are there around 4 I don’t think it matters which shuttle you get on.
Andrew_S, Jul 2025
Hop on hop off trolly so you can spend a much or as little time as required at each stop before jumping on the next one. Informative
Bob_L, Jul 2025
I enjoy "hop-on-hop-off" tours because I can set my own pace. The couch narrators were very informative.
Amy_S, Jul 2025
The tour was very nice. The vehicles were clean and newer. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and the stops were convenient. There was a bit of a wait at some of the stops, so prepare for that as you plan your day. This tour made it easier to navigate Arlington as it’s quite large and a lot of walking required. I would do this tour again and recommend it.
