Tom is the very best! We escorted a Vietnam Veteran friend of ours on a private "Honor Flight" with the specific purpose of leaving his combat boots at the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Tom's in-depth knowledge of the memorials that we visited was beyond impressive. Arlington Memorial Cemetary, USMC Memorial, WWII Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, MLK Memorial, Supreme Court building, Capitol Hill, White House, Blaire House, etc. We saw a lot in a short period of time. We will be going back to DC to see other points of interest that we were not able to get to and we will definitely retain the services of Tom with DC Military Tours. He is the very VERY best!

Tom is so knowledgeable about the entire DC metro area and all areas of history with emphasis on military history. He was very flexible during our tour to accommodate our needs. We crossed paths with Tom when we were on other tours and he was friendly and answered our question about that site. Thank you Tom!

We spent 4 days touring with Tom from DC Military Tours in August of 2024. Tom was fantastic with great knowledge and has been guiding over10 years. We spent time on Capital Hill, Arlington National Cemetery, Monticello, Udvar Hazy Air and Space, Ford's Theater, Mt. Vernon, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, and National Cathedral. He picked us up on time at our hotel and supplied plenty of water. He also recommended a great Italian restaurant in Alexandria. He had a clear easy to understand voice that projects well. Would highly recommend Tom to greatly enhance your visit to DC.

My excitement for touring Bull Run battlefield, especially for Second Bull Run, was only matched by Tom's excitement wanting to teach my family, friend and myself. He drove us all over the battlefield, answered all of our questions, showed us what and where the significant events were and what the soldiers would have faced. He discussed the strategy of both sides and the impact of such strategies. We just could not have had a more educational, involved and rewarding experience! I hope to have Tom as a tour guide in the future on another battlefield. Johnson Childress

Tom has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Civil War Battlefields. He met us at the Visitor Center and took us on foot and in his spacious vehicle all over the battlefield. He described the action in detail and made us think about the tactics and strategy employed by the various commanders. He paid close attention to our well-being - it was a rather hot day! - and provided cold water and an excellent bag-lunch. I strongly recommend DC Military Tour!

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 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.

Thorough and fascinating tour of sites along the escape route. Background on Lincoln, Booth and all the conspirators.

Our Marine Corp Tour w/ Mr. Thomas was excellent! He is very friendly and full of information and history. We really appreciated how he tailored our day to ensure even our teen and tween enjoyed the day. Highly recommend and we will be using DC Military Tours again when we are back in DC!

The John Wilkes Booth Tour with Tom was indescribable. He gave us the feel that we were right there with Booth making the escape. Words of description could not paint the incredible day Tom gave us. Mother nature was against us with rain but Tom's narration made the day sunny and dry as he went above and beyond giving detailed information with insights that no book or books could have told us. If your looking for a tour beyond tours, check out DC Military Tours with Tom. From the comfort of his transportation to the one-on-one service. You will not be disappointed.

Tom was absolutely superb and one of the best tour guides (if not the best) we have ever had. He took the time to get to know us and our interests. He then tailored a day that was both memorable and enjoyable. My son, named after Joshua Chamberlain, in particular was raving about both Tom and the tour afterwards. Tom really engaged with him and got him more interested in the American Civil War. That is incredibly impressive and something not even some teachers can do! We really enjoyed his company and had the best time ever. Highly highly recommend!

Our tour with Tom was great. Tom provided a great deal of background information about what we were seeing at Mount Vernon. I would highly recommend a tour with Tom and DC Military Tours.

Tom was a great guide, and so patient answering all our questions. Clearly he knows his History! We would definitely book another one of his tours!

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.

Excellent! Best tour guide ever. Very accommodating and pleasant. Would recommend to anyone of any age.
