Just did the Private Arlington Cemetery Walking Tour and it was incredible!

I gifted my parents the Private Arlington National Cemetery tour last weekend, and it was so worth it! Our guide, Chris, was super knowledgeable and really tailored the experience to their interests. They got to spend time at JFK's gravesite and witnessed the Changing of the Guards, which was just breathtaking. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting a meaningful experience in DC!

Planning to buy this tour as a gift - any tips?
