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

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

The background information was outstanding. The guide was very adept at answering questions and adding extra insights at every stop. Well worth the money and then some.

the tour guide did not show. we had to buy new tickets and make our own way round a very large cemetery. This trip is something we really wanted to do and was booked before we left the UK

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

The guide was very nice and eager to do the tour but found out while we were waiting that there was a special burial that day and we would not be allowed to enter the cemetery. It was very disappointing and I feel I should get my money back

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