The Korean Memorial was my favorite, but Tom did a great job with all of the monuments. Our friends had been on Tom's tour before but he added a different monument for them to see. His knowledge of everything concerning the monuments and the city made the tour special for all of us - two VA residents, one frequent visitor to DC and a newbie who had never visited DC before. We had such a great time we booked an additional tour with DC Military Tours & Tom.

That was quote a history lesson. Bobby was a driver, a guide, an entertainer, a historian, and just a personable character. I selected this particular company based on reviews - there were a couple that provided a 'driver' who did not comprise all the above attributes, mainly a knowlegeable guide. I especially liked all the little lesser known details and facts shared with us. Did you know all the people you see on $ bills? I was like... "Franklin $100 was not a president?!" ???? I thought it was a good idea to see all that again by night, and listen, AFTER doing my own sightseeing and museum visits. It filled the gaps and added spice to my knowledge.
