The 3-hour private tour we took with Tom from DC Military Tours was off the charts fantastic. As is usually the case with private tours, we could have NEVER done, seen, and experienced all we did with Tom on our own. No way. Tom knows SO much history. Plus, he knows where everything is in Arlington National Cemetery. EVERYTHING! He’s also great at maneuvering through the school groups and tour buses. Our teen son absolutely loved this tour, and so did my husband and I. We were so very impressed with Tom and DCMT, that we’ve already decided when we do WDC, we will book Tom for as much as we can. Highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it, and you totally get beyond what you pay for.

Money well spent! Tom picked us up at our hotel. He then gave us an excellent historical tour of the cemetery. Tom has an extensive knowledge and background on the subject. He did not rush us at all and answered all of questions patently and politely.

Dean, Thank you and Vivian for selecting me for a couple of days of touring. I’m glad we got to fit in the USAF Memorial to honor your service there. Please let me know when you are planning another trip to DC. Tom
