Arlington Cemetery Small-Group Tour and Changing of the Guards is a two and a half hour guided walk from Unscripted Tours, listed on Viator from $69 at our August 3, 2026 check and rated 4.9 across 2,754 reviews, in a group capped at 15. Three places are named on the route and none is flagged as a pass-by: Arlington National Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the John F. Kennedy Grave Site. Arlington National Cemetery is an active military cemetery. The Changing of the Guards is named by the listing, and we make no claim about the ceremony beyond that naming.
Freaky Foot Tours does not operate this experience; an independent operator runs it, and the date above is when we last checked their listing. The booking card lower down still carries the product's older listing name.

Who it suits
Visitors who want two and a half guided hours at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Kennedy grave site, in a group of no more than 15, and who can manage roughly two miles with inclines and stairs in whatever weather the day brings. It is not the pick if you need wheelchair access, if you cannot arrive twenty minutes early, because the listing states that departures do not wait for late arrivals, or if you need your booking settled the moment you pay. Of the ten Washington DC sightseeing and heritage products we compare, this is the only one whose confirmation is not at time of booking.

When do I need to arrive, and where do I meet?
The listing states that all tours depart promptly on time and are unable to wait for late arrivals, and that guests should arrive 20 minutes before. You meet just outside the Welcome Center on the Arlington Cemetery side, after passing through security, at 1 Memorial Ave, Fort Myer VA 22211.
Is my booking confirmed straight away?
No. Confirmation comes within 48 hours of booking and is subject to availability, which is unusual across the Washington DC products we compare. Free cancellation is a separate policy and still applies.
