Eric is a superb guide and raconteur. His wide experience makes this tour truly memorable. The information he imparts is staggering, and at times very moving. Wide ranging historical knowledge on wars and battles and of course how Arlington came to be. Highly recommended

My family and I just experienced the best tour of our lives at Arlington National Cemetery today. Eric Hommel’s passion and detailed knowledge on all of the American wars, left all of us (even two 21 year olds) completely engaged for the entire tour. I didn’t want it to end. This is, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip to Washington DC. DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BOOK WITH ERIC AT VIGILANCE TOURS!!!

Eric gave one of the most memorable and meaningful tours I’ve ever experienced. His knowledge of Arlington National Cemetery was exceptional, but what truly stood out was the respect, professionalism, and passion he brought to every part of the tour. He shared the history in a way that was deeply engaging, personal, and emotional without ever feeling scripted.He answered every question thoughtfully, kept the group engaged the entire time, and clearly cares deeply about honoring the people and stories connected to Arlington. You can tell he takes enormous pride in what he does.If you are visiting Arlington Cemetery, I highly recommend taking a tour with Eric. He turned what could have been just a sightseeing experience into something genuinely impactful and unforgettable.

I had the most amazing time on this tour. Eric went above and beyond, explaining every detail with genuine knowledge and passion. Anytime I had a question, he had the answer—clearly and confidently, without ever faking it.I’ve taken tours all over the United States and around the world, but this one stands out as my absolute favorite. I can’t even fully describe the emotions I felt while hearing the stories and history of the cemetery. I truly had no idea how deeply this experience would impact me.In the end, it wasn’t just a tour of a cemetery—it was a powerful, unforgettable experience, and that’s entirely thanks to Eric.

One of the most insightful tours I've ever been involved with. The guide, Eric, is very knowledgeable about the cemetery and military. Eric digs into the unknown and interesting parts of the cemetery and the history behind it.I'm a huge fan and will book again.
