View on Google MapsAlan put us in the best position to watch the change of the guard/ very knowledgeable/ very good experience
Allen was a very knowledgeable and professional tour guide. All the extras we learned about the history of the Arlington cemetery and seeing what highly respected grounds it is was so touching. It was an honor to visit such sacred grounds. The change of the guards is amazing.
Incredible tour! Our guide Allen shared his considerable knowledge and passion for not only the people buried at Arlington, but also the fascinating history and architecture of the beautiful property itself. He made names on graves and monuments come alive again and beautifully and sensitively reminded our group of the sacrifices made by so many for the freedom we all share. So many heroes are buried here, and Allen highlighted such a variety, from presidents to everyman heroes with amazing stories. Allen welcomed questions and even helped a member of our group find the grave of a relative. Allen easily personalized the tour to our pace and interests. Every American should visit Arlington National Cemetery, but an insightful visit with Monumental Walks will leave you awed, grateful, and proud. Thank you Allen!

Hands down, the best tour(s) I have been on. After going on one of Allen McCabe's tours, I knew we would be going on more. Allen has a way of not just teaching our history but bringing us back in time to it. While multiple people may be on the tours, he spoke to us like it was a personal conversation we are all in together. Allen's Monumental Walks are so captivating that my group actually said they couldn't believe the hours he spent with us went by so fast. My family and I laughed at everyone's wide eyes and slacked jaws that we thought "if he kept talking to us, everyone would follow him home". He is an encyclopedia of knowledge, but entertaining, and when asked by people what they should do while they are in DC, I refer them all to Monumental Walks. You won't be disappointed.
Our family (mom, dad, and 3 girls ages 11, 11, and 14) went on one of Allen's tours of Arlington while we were in D.C. for Spring Break and it was the highlight of all of our trip. Allen is so incredibly knowledgeable about the cemetery and its history, as well as the best vantage point for seeing things like the changing of the guard, he's pleasant, flexible and just a gem. Highly recommended.
Allen was one of the best tour guides I have ever had to be quite honest. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, this is your guy. Next time we are back in DC, I’ll be looking him up.
Allen is the best guide, he made us fall in love with this cemetery. We plan to do this tour again on our next visit. Thanks, Allen for a fantastic visit.
Went on this tour with Allen on the first week of April and had a great experience. Lots of great and interesting info presented during this walking tour. Allen kept a good, easy pace which helped the older family members in my party. There was plenty of parking spaces at the parking lot structure right next to the cemetery. Prior to the event Allen communicated with us via text, which also provided a good way to ask any tour questions prior to our meetup. Would definitely recommend this tour with Allen for those who haven't been to Arlington.
Allen was our tour guide and he did an amazing job giving us great information at the Arlington National Cemetery. The tour was 2.5 hours and it just flew by as he kept us moving and explained everything so well. Allen knew the best places to be at the best times, even though it was a really busy season. Highly recommend this tour!
Allen's tour of Arlington National Cemetery was amazing. He shared many incredible facts ,stories and even little known facts of the cemetery. He took plenty of breaks as we walked all over the grounds. The terrain is challenging as there are lots of steep hills. The highlight was when he took us to a excellent vantage point to see the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Worth it!!! We enjoyed our time with him. 5 Stars!!
