Best tour of Arlington I’ve ever had. We covered a lot of ground and learned a lot! Mr. Schultz really takes the time to gear the tour around his customers interests and/or requests.

Tom Schultz provided a private tour for my family on a wonderful February morning. He provided exceptional personalization of the tour to all members of my family. His knowledge and expertise were remarkable. He made this a very special experience for my two young boys (12 and 11) and it was an memory we will all treasure. Thanks Tom! We can't wait for our next tour.

We had 2 private tours with Tom and he did an amazing job. We were incredibly impressed with his knowledge of each site we visited. He was very patient with our mobility issues and went out of his way to accommodate every need we had. He tailored each tour specifically to the interests of each one of us in our group. We were also so thankful for the additional insights he gave us into other things we “must see” while in DC. Our visit to DC was an experience my family will cherish due to Tom’s insights and guidance!
