Arlington National Cemetery Arlington National Cemetery is incredible - we took the hop-on, hop-off tour which provides information about the various areas, and drops you at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Seeing this is amazing, and we witnessed the changing of the guard, conducted in near silence. The guards are so impressive, and they provide their service 24x7x365. We were there on a very hot day, so the guard duty must have been very tough indeed, but they are superb. Visit, be impressed, moved, and humbled.

Visiting Arlington is an incredibly moving experience. I visited as a teen, and now have come back years later with a new generation to experience. We chose to pay for the hop on/off tram to visit the sites as we arrived later in the day and didn’t think we would have the time to see everything we wanted to see as this place is expansive. Not only that it was nice to hear the history from the tram driver we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. We visited on a Sunday so it appeared quite busy, but we had no problems at all. We hit all the must sees immediately and our last stop was Tomb of the Unknown/Changing of the Guard at the top of each hour. Very emotional experience, but as an American everyone should experience Arlington once to pay respects to the men and women who we have to thank for our freedoms.

Attended a service with family and what an amazing experience. Everyone was professional, attentive, and kind. Property grounds are well taken care of. This is truly a must-see stop to pay respect to the 450,000 men/women who have died making sacrifices.

This visit was part of a local 7-mile self-guided walking tour that started and ended near the Courthouse in Arlington. I was able to view and photograph my wife's grandparents burial sites. If you want to find a certain gravesite, they offer an app that will direct you right to it.

We arrived at 4pm in November so only had an hour to see the cemetery. We hadn’t fully realised how vast it is. So we took the trolley tour, which costs $19.50 each but saved us from lots of walking. We had two guides: one was excellent and engaging, the other sounded rather bored and just going through the motions. Nonetheless it’s a good idea to use the tour, unless you are okay walking quite considerable distances. The JFK burial site was profoundly moving and has a beautiful outlook. It really emotionally affected me, even though I’m not American. There was a feeling of deep respect and sorrow there. The simplicity of it all only made it more affecting. The changing of the guard ceremony, and attached Museum and amphitheatre, was also attended with great respect and is certainly worth seeing. What has stayed with me the most, though, is seeing the endless neat rows of graves, stretching in every direction into the far distance. So, so many dead. It does make you think about the human cost of war. An astonishing four hundred thousand people are buried here.

I spent half a day walking around Arlington National Cemetery and witnessed the changing of the guard ceremony. The Cemetery is full of history and the map handed out at the visitor center was very helpful. Beautiful maintained grounds and the Arlington House was interesting to visit.

I lived for 4 years just on the other side of the stone fence that surrounds part of Arlington National Cemetery. I am a 76 yr old retired/disabled veteran. Also, my birthfather has a Memorial Stone in Arlington as he was killed in action in Korea in 1953. I strongly object to the removal of the Confederate Monument! It is part of our American history. All Confederate Monuments or those men who participated in that conflict within Arlington should be protected as they are also part of our American history. If I lived in the area, I would be at your gate in my wheelchair with a placard demonstrating against the removal or modification of any Confederate related monument or memorial.

This was by far the most powerful experience we've ever had. We witnessed 2 funerals complete with bagpipes. I would recommend this as a stop to anyone in the DC area. The history knowledge we took away is unreal and the burial sites and historic homes were breathtaking.

This is a rare DC destination that is maintained at a level a national monument should be maintained at. The grounds are immaculate, which are particularly impressive given how expansive they are. What surprised me most was how many famous names are here, some of whom I never knew served.

This was great. It's priced, right. You do have to pay for parking. The tour is fantastic. The busses are clean and show up on time. The sights are great. They also give free rides to the Lincoln memorial if you have a ticket for the bus tour. Great experience, definitely coming back.
