Private Customized Tour Of Washington Dc With Us Veteran

Unbelievable! Thomas did a phenomenal job and was extremely knowledgeable .Turned a history lesson into an entertaining story.

Hired Tom for two customized tours, including one of Monticello . During the 2.5 hour drive each way from DC, he gave us such great info about the area in general, Monticello specifically, and on the Founding Fathers. Incredibly knowledgeable on so many topics. My family and I will definitely be hiring Tom again when next in the Dc area.

Free airport shuttle. Free breakfast. Great sleeping - great mattress, pillows, bedding. Quiet. Very clean and safe. Coffee, fridge and WIFI in room. Everything a traveler needs at good rates. A very restful stay.

Tom, by far, has been the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He goes above and beyond anything that I expected from him. He is most knowledgeable in giving tours that we went on that were Arlington National Cemetery and George Washington’s Mount Vernon. He came early both days and stayed with us until we were done! He made recommendations that, of course, we followed and I for one am one very happy and satisfied customer. He jumped in when we took our pictures and had the best time with us. I would absolutely utilize Tom’s services again when visiting the DC area! AAA +++

My family (8-18 yrs old) thoroughly enjoyed having Tom guide us around the DC area to sights we likely would not have embarked to on our own. We had a great day of learning, discussion and inspiration. We will definitely look for another opportunity to book a day with Tom again in the future.

The experience was exactly what we wanted it to be. He was able to accommodate our preferences and let us move at our own pace. He was funny, kind and inspiring. Told stories. He kept kids entertained the whole time..

Five star treatment Historic Knowledge Don’t Hesitate to Boom Tom , words can’t describe our appreciation and Amazing experiences ! Precious M

We were able to see so much more with a knowledgeable guide than just trying to do ourselves in a busy city

Thomas was a private guide for us whilst we visited Washington DC for the first time. I cannot recommend him enough. He listened to what we wanted and created an educational, informative and enjoyable night tour, which is what we wanted to do.

We visited DC just prior to 4th July this year. Having already planned to do the major sites by segway and "golf cart" type tours, we scheduled this tour to get more insight into the major sites a little further afield. Tom did not disappoint. We booked a 4 hour tour and arranged with him prior the sort of things we were interested in seeing more of. Tom recommended Arlington for an extended period and to take in changing of the guard and detail/other memorials, Pentagon 911 memorial and via the embassy row to the Washington Cathedral (as we requested). We were very impressed in his detailed knowledge of all aspects of these sites and he made it very interesting for all of us - so much so that the time flew by and since we were over that way we asked him to drop us off in Georgetown. He even made recommendations for our lunch there too. Getting Tom's perspective of the military, service and general history was very informative to complement the experience where other tours simply regurgitate effectively from a guide book. If you are in DC for a city break don't hesitate to arrange one of Toms tours.

We spent most of three days having Tom guide us around the Capitol. He was most accommodating and very knowledgeable about all of the sites. He recommended several that were terrific. We saw the war memorials, Washington, Lincoln & MLK Memorials, Capitol, National Archives, Library of Congress, Arlington Cemetery, and spent a day at Gettysburg. I would highly recommend Tom to make your trip to the nation’s capitol informative and meaningful. Five Stars.

Not being wheelchair accessible after full communication. The Tour Guide was knowledgable and knew his history.

Tom was extremely professional and a great guide. He totally customized our day to the interests of our family. I highly recommend spending the day with Tom.

Tom was a wonderful guide for our trip to Arlington Cemetary. I have been several times before but never with a guide. I really appreciated Tom's knowledge it really made the trip more meaningful. Tom was extremely accommodating and made the trip for my 83 year old wheelchair using mom an enjoyable one. Tom even came prepared with an umbrella, which we made use of on our rainy visit. I would highly recommend Tom's services.

Tom was a fantastic tour guide -- his style is low key but personable and confident. He gave our DC first-timers plenty of space to explore, but was able to answer every question. He was very accommodating and flexible from booking to final drop-off. We will certainly recommend Tom for future corporate groups and family groups as well.

Tom Schultz is a tour guide that is VERY knowledgeable of American history, culture and art. He can put together a costume tour to meet anyone's interest or focus. He is flexible and can accommodate any mix of visitors. Tom has a good sense of humor and makes history fun for all ages. He does an excellent job.

Tom helped us plan a fun day of interest to our group and had great suggestions. He was so patient answering our grandsons many questions.

Tom was very impressive with his knowledge about every memorial we saw. Halfway through the tour i was patting myself on the back for selecting this company for our tour. He was on time to pick us up and never rushed us when we wanted to spend more time, especially at the Korean War Memorial. I would highly recommend DC Military Tours to any one.

Anyone visiting Washington DC for the first time should book this super informative tour. Tom was so knowledgeable on all things Washington DC. He took the tour at our pace and answered all of our questions. We didn't get to see all of the monuments, so I will be booking again when I come back!

Excellent service and Tom was very knowledgeable. At Arlington national cemetery my son asked about the Harlem hell fighter unit and Tom’s face lit up and knew exactly where to go and relevant information. Also took us on a great tour of Mt. Vernon and infused multiple civic lessons for my boys throughout the day. Highly recommend

Tom was a walking book of American History. He was very infomative and super easy to chat with! My only regret was not booking a longer tour!!

We had an all-day tour of the monuments as well as Arlington National Cemetery. My family is relatively new here in the USA and this worked out perfectly. Blessed with great weather and a fantastic guide (Tom) we explored. Tom personalized the tour engaging each one of us with interesting bits of history and other anecdotes throughout the day. He was prompt, the vehicle was excellent, and he included lunch at the Army Navy Country Club. Additionally, Tom managed to fit in a few things along the way. He made sure the family got up for pictures at the White House and located a grave of a friend at Arlington Cemetery so we could pay respects. We had a great day and highly recommend DC Military Tours!

Great Falls on the Potomac has been the highlight of our trip It’s the first time I have been there since 1942 when I was very young and also visited the torpedo factory where my dad worked during WW II. TOM’s knowledge of everything was very impressive . A great guide

Great experience! Tom did a great job telling us the history of each monument during out trip. I took my Vietnam Veteran father as part of his "bucket list"... a trip that he will never forget! Highly recommended!

Myself and two children, 19 & 22, had the best all day tour we could have ever imagined. We had no set plan when the day started but after Tom asked us about what we wanted to see and some things he suggested we were off. We were all so thrilled at the end with how our day turned out. This was the best way to see D.C., Arlington, and even Alexandria. Best tour ever. Thank you for the unforgettable day!

Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Made our trip to DC memorable. Helped find parking close to monuments so we did not have to walk far.

Tom was a fantastic guide! We are grateful for his knowledge and flexibility in accommodating our group! DC Military Tours is highly recommended!

Tom was an excellent guide. Highly recommend very knowledgeable! Very accommodating for my grandmother who needed her wheelchair. Very family friendly!

Fantastic experience! Tom is extremely knowledgeable and gave us in-depth information on each site we visited. Given the various site closures because of the virus restrictions, his expertise was particularly helpful. He really went above and beyond and provided an enjoyable, tailored experience based on our preferences. Highly recommend!

Tom presented a fantastic trip of Arlington, Fort Meyer and the Pentagon. Great history and perspective were the highlight of the day for me. thanks so much. Jenn

What can we say? Tom is friendly, super prepared, always on time, extremely knowledgeable, and works hard to maximize “your” fun time. We got to do things we hadn’t thought of (the stables at end of day were a highlight) and he made excellent suggestions regarding schedules, eating stops, and weather. Tom was helping us make scheduling decisions before we even got to DC. And, he always found ways to make it interesting for the teen-monsters too! Tom also saves you soooo much time and effort by already having tickets on hand for stops and is hyper focused on service to his customers. This saved us a LOT of time by not standing in lines or derailing our schedule just to be waiting to gain access to activities. His efforts will allow you to maximize the time you have for seeing things and not waste it waiting around. This alone makes him a necessity in DC. There is so much to do/see and Tom makes this happen with low stress (none of those arguments you see other families dealing with). And, as if these other aspects weren’t enough of a reason to work with Tom already, he has a wonderful personality. We all instantly took to him and were talking about our experiences like he was a close uncle we were visiting here. Again, simply amazing! Do yourself a favor and book Tom early; it’ll make all the difference in the world for your vacation.

Having not been to Washington DC for many years we decided to book a private tour to make the most of our limited time in this great city. Booking Tom and his amazing tour was the best thing we could have done. Tom picked us up at our hotel and took us on a day long tour of everything we wanted to see and more. His knowledge of the history of each memorial on The Mall and the area was just outstanding. He made each stop come to life. So much to see and too little time. Thanks Tom for a wonderful tour and all your kindness.

After just a few phone calls with Tom I knew this was going to be a great day. Indeed it was! Tom picked us up (my husband, my daughter and I) at our hotel in a very comfortable car. Tom is very easy to get along with. Not only did he show us around Washington DC but he often had anecdotes to tell us which made our tour even more interesting. Even if our day was geting close to the end of our 6 hour tour, Tom crossed over the city to give us a tour of the US Army Horse and Caisson Barn. We were lucky enough to see a team coming back from a Mission at the Arlington Cemetary. This was just amazing and unforgettable. Tom has been very generous of his knowledge and his time with us. I strongly recommend this tour for anyone thinking of visiting Washington DC. This tour was the highlight of our trip. Thanks Tom and see you next time we go to Washington DC! Après juste quelques conversations avec Tom, je savais que cette journée serait des plus agréables. Tom est venu nous chercher à notre hôtel avec un véhicule très confortable type SUV. Les conversations avec Tom étaient des plus agréables. Il avait toujours une petite anecdote à nous raconter tout au long de notre parcours. Il a été très généreux de son temps et de ses connaissances en histoire avec nous. Cette journée a été pour ma famille et moi mémorable. Merci encore une fois Tom!

We reviewed a couple companies and settled on this one due to their flexible options and best pricing. Tom (our guide) was AWESOME! We weren’t sure what to expect but he was great- the tours he provided were top notch every single place we decided to go. He was fun to talk to and knew all the insider scoop stuff to give us the beat experience in a short amount of time. Not only did he exceed expectations but he even took the time to help us plan our following day’s activities and give us tips and suggestions. We met us at Arlington, provided ice cold bottled water while he drove us to our destinations in his super clean and comfortable SUV with ease. GET this tour, we did the 6 hour and it was the highlight of our time in DC. You WONT regret it! Thanks so much!

Our tour guide, Tom, was excellent. He was very informative and took his time with us. I would highly recommend him for your tour guide.

My husband and I had a fantastic time with Tom this past Saturday on a custom private tour. I planned a weekend in DC as a surprise birthday getaway for my husband, who lived in DC for a summer so had already done most of the major tourists stops many times over, and who is a huge history (and particularly military history) buff. Tom worked closely with me to create the perfect itinerary and patiently answered all of my questions prior to booking. The day itself was seamless - Tom arrived promptly to pick us up at our hotel and drove us around in his comfortable SUV, equipped with bottled water. We visited some excellent sites that I would never have thought to check out without Tom's recommendation, including the Navy Yard and the fascinating Navy Museum, and the Caisson Platoon Barn at Fort Myer. Both of these were really remarkable and worthwhile visits - and we had them nearly all to ourselves on a busy Saturday during cherry blossom season! The tour also included lunch at the Army Navy Country Club, which was lovely. In the afternoon, we visited the Anderson House, home of the Society of the Cincinnati, which was a beautiful home, but unfortunately the docent giving the guided tour there was not terribly good - I would have preferred Tom to give the tour himself! Tom even drove us over to the National Building Museum so we could pick up our bibs for the following day's Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run, and dropped us back at our hotel at the end of the day. I'm so glad that we booked this tour - it was certainly a highlight of our weekend and, though not inexpensive, was worth every penny. Tom was extraordinarily knowledgeable, personable and clearly loves what he does. I would not hesitate to recommend DC Military Tours to anyone visiting the area!

Tom is amazing! He was great with our 11 year old son who is very interested in learning about our history. He is highly recommended!

I booked an 8 hour tour several months before our vacation. Our tour guide, Tom was great! He contacted me in advance, made suggestions but also listened to what we wanted to see. There were 4 of us all senior citizens. Tom picked us up at the townhouse where we were staying. The SUV was very comfortable. Our first stop was Arlington. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our many questions. I am very short and he was very careful to place me where I could see the changing of the guard and the placing of a wreath. From there we went to the Lincoln House and several other places including the Roosevelt Memorial. Tom furnished tickets and parking. Tom was very patient with us. Steve and I teased him a little about our political affiliation. We just couldn't resist and he took it all in stride. This was our first trip to DC. There was so much to see and do; Tom set the right tone for a fabulous trip. We highly recommend this tour. The price is reasonable and the guide is a professional.

Tom took my family to all the places we asked to see and then threw in some extras that made the day even more interesting and enjoyable. Tom is knowledgeable and friendly. He made it possible for us to see a lot and learn a lot without feeling stressed. We highly recommend Tom!

Tom was so knowledgeable, helpful, and quick in seizing opportunities to provide additional unforgettable experiences. Our 94 year old WWII Iwo Jima survivor friend with us was treated royally and respectfully. Evening tour of Arlington Cemetery and monuments including an inspiring military band parade and marine rifle precision drill performance. Amazing. Tom felt like a dear and respected friend by night’s end.

Tom was an amazing tour guide! He is so knowledgeable and made the entire tour very enjoyable. We learned so much during the day and Tom was very accommodating with our schedule. We had our 12 year old son with us, so Tom was able to keep it interesting for all of us. This is the only way to see DC! We toured Arlington cemetery, a couple of Memorials and Ford's theater. Tom also waited for us as we toured the White House! We highly recommend Tom and any tour you choose!

Tom has an amazing knowledge of the area. He is incredibly approachable and attentive to his clients. I would recommend Tom to anyone and any type of group. I am from the area and he taught me things. I shall use him again on my next visit. Thanks Tom for making our trip memorable!

Tom took my family on a tour of the Washington DC monuments and his knowledge and insight about them gave the experience a whole new depth that made it an extremely rewarding trip.

We spent 2 great days with Tom in DC. He picked us up at our hotel each day and was very helpful in making sure we were seeing all the sites we wanted to see on our first visit to the area. We wanted to see all of the monuments we could (and did!). He made sure we had enough time at each and that we could take as many photos as we wished. We also had an extended visit to Arlington and loved the visit to the Caisson stables at Fort Myer. Tom offered helpful suggestion for our free time. Thanks Tom for a great travel experience.
