I have never paid for a tour bus to see Arlington National Cemetery. We walk in, do the Women's Memorial thing, the tomb of the unknown, JFK grave, and the Arlington house, it is uphill, but not too bad. They have the tourmobile there, but unless you are physically incapable of walking up a hill, I don't see why you would have to take it... now, it would be quicker, so maybe worth it. Basically, you can just drive right in, park in the garage and enter the "Welcome Center" type area. You can purchase tickets for the tourmobile that runs just inside of the Cemetery and it will cart you around. Again, not needed, but would allow you to see more in less time.... unless there are a lot of people there that day... then you would just have to waste time standing in line for it. So, just make that judgment call when u get there.
Thanks a lot! So glad I asked. I think we can just walk it then. We'll go first thing when it opens and before it gets too hot. I'd rather not take a tour bus because we would probably spend a lot of tiem waiting around for that.
Thanks!
