Our family’s in-depth tour of Arlington with veteran Tom Schultz of DC Military Tours was extraordinary!! Tom is down to earth and mellow and made the tour fun and fascinating for all 3 generations of our family. We greatly appreciated the depth of his knowledge regarding little known aspects of history and the way he illuminated the complexities and ironies of Arlington’s history.

Excellent tour! Our family of six went on this guided tour of Arlington National Cemetery. We were picked up at our hotel and had a comfortable trip to Arlington. The tour was perfect. He was able to customize it to our interests and we moved at a great pace. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job communicating with the whole group. I would recommend using this guide for any of your DC area tours!

Jason, I had a great time with your family the “Three H’s”. Hannah’s definition of an arboretum still has me in stitches. Let’s connect during your next trip to Washington. Tom.
