Everything about this tour was great. Tom, our Tour Guide, was the best! He picked us up at Union Station early & spent more than the allotted time taking us to all the most specific sites. We so highly recommend him with DC Military Tours to anyone wanting all the must sees ~ he was full of knowledge regarding everything about Arlington National Cemetery.

Barbara, Thank you for sharing your extended family visiting from Arkansas with me. Hopefully they will decide to visit Washington again soon to see more of what we have to discover here. I suspect we will see each other again sooner or later since we are locals. Thank you for the kind review. Your family was so easy to spend time with. - Tom

Doug and Debbie,
Thank you for preparing personal research beforehand for our morning at Arlington. It gave me pleasure to guide you to areas of the cemetery that I don't frequently visit. So a treat for me as well. Safe travels on your way back to Hawaii. Tom

History filled, leisurely stroll around the grounds. Tom, our guide, was very knowledgeable and able to keep us away from the crowds and visit hidden gems within cemetery. He guided us to the best spot to watch the changing of the guard a t the tomb of the unknown. Highly recommend this tour

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

From start to finish the tour was great. Would highly recommend Tom. He was a wealth of information.
Joanne_T, Jun 2021
Tom was such a priceless and knowledgeable tour guide! He was. especially accommodating for my sister-in-law with her wheelchair and the distances that the rest of our family (ages 58-81) could walk. He was immediately personable with a wonderful sense of humor. He helped us learn a great deal about ANC the day prior to our father's funeral at Arlington. We thank him for his Navy service and our superb tour!

Jo,
Thank you for sharing your family with me before your solemn day with your departed Father. It was my pleasure to share Arlington’s history as well as some of the logistics you might experience in grave marker stone carving. Let’s soon discuss a future visit to Washington. Tom

Watching from a respectful distance a significant portion of a funeral that was taking place while we were moving from one portion of the cemetery to another. Visiting the grave of a longtime friend. Seeing the area occupied by members of the supreme court was particularly moving.. Tom maintained a reasonable flow of interesting information, neither too much nor too little

Dwight,
Thank you for sharing the day with me and for allowing me to personalize your visit. I especially enjoyed hearing your family background with Church and Dwight. Let's plan on a return visit to DC when more attractions will be open. Best wishes. - Tom
