    Had an exceptional tour of Arlington Cemetery from Eric. His extensive knowledge, ease at answering questions and personable nature made the tour very interesting, pointing out significant graves and the history behind Arlington and how it came to be. Can’t thank him enough for a great experience

    Eric is the perfect guide! Extremely knowledgeable, told us many stories, always asked if we had any questions, and was so considerate of how we were doing physically. It is a lot of walking and he matched our pace. Flexibility on his time is something you won’t find in larger guided tours.

    My family and I had a fantastic tour with Eric yesterday. He’s extremely personable as a guide and amazingly knowledgeable about Arlington’s history, grounds, and those who are interred or memorialized there. I was especially grateful to him for allowing extra time for me to visit my own family buried there. A very meaningful experience for my family. There were also active funerals taking place on the grounds during our tour and Eric provided information about those being laid to rest, including details about the service (canon salute, jet flyover). A genuine highlight of our first trip to the DC area. Highly recommend!

    Eric from Vigilance Tours gave a fantastic tour of Arlington National Cemetery! I go on a lot of historical tours and this was one of the best I've ever been on. His experience as a veteran who has worked at Arlington Cemetery and the Pentagon gave him insight that really helped bring this historical site to life. He told stories of prominent people we've all heard of, but also told stories of others often overlooked in history. He was personable and professional. This tour is highly recommended.

    This tour was by far the BEST tour I have EVER DONE…and I’ve been many places and done so many tours, so this is saying A LOT. Eric was the absolute most knowledgeable, most personable tour guide you could ever hope for. With his many years of service, and many years of different experiences (such as having had service at Arlington, working on Capitol Hill, Congress, Pentagon and in the Cemetary), his wealth of inside knowledge and stories brought this tour alive. He spent extra time with me, and made sure all my questions were answered and taught me things no history book could teach. I give this way more than 5 stars! Everyone going to Arlington should do a tour with Eric!
