Traveler reviews
Better than a riding tour.
If you’re riding, you miss so many things even they are pointed out as you ride by. Walking with Jim was an exceptional experience and muscly more personal than a large group.
Humbling and Beautiful and Interesting
Meg was excellent! Saw everything we wanted to see! Very knowledgeable. A humbling experience. Views were a surprise.
Meg was personable,...
Meg was personable, caring, and knowledgeable. My husband and I appreciated how she shared engaging stories and she was perceptive to the group’s needs. Also, we appreciated the communication from the time that we booked the tour until its conclusion, It made the process stress free. This was our 5th booking with Viator.
Knowledgeable tour guide
Reid was knowledgeable and gave a great tour. He made sure to answer all questions and gave historical context to many people whose graves we viewed. He made sure we had a great viewing for the changing of the guard. He took the time to include our teen as well. We appreciated his attention to details all throughout the tour.
Great experience
Pam was informative and enthusiastic about the tour. She gave background stories and history as well as the chance to visit the gravesite of people we were interested in!
