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.

Oleta is a spectacular company. Thoughtful, courteous and joyful in their approach to getting you from where you are to where you need to be (and back). Safety is very important to them and they are experts in navigating their large vehicles around busy streets and highways, but you are also likely to leave your experience with a new friend or two at the company. Our children's school has been using Oleta to facilitate class trips for over 15 years and wouldn't consider using anyone else.
