I got the tour for a group of 13 of my family and every one of them LOVED this tour! I would totally tour with him again!It was a great tour, Paul was incredibly knowledgeable, and very respectful. He had great stories about many well known people buried there as well as hidden story gems. We were able to see the changing of the guards and they played taps, it was quite moving.
