Vigilance Tours is unlike other tours.
With 25 years of working knowledge of Arlington National Cemetery, the Pentagon, Congress, and Washington, DC – Eric (Lt Col, USAF (retired)) is the only Arlington National Cemetery tour guide who goes beyond the facts and figures and discusses the stories behind the facts and figures
The tour is interactive – by getting to know you, Eric strives to make the tour meaningful to you while maintaining the reverence of Arlington National Cemetery
In order to get to know each other, we limit the size of the tour group to a maximum of 12 visitors
No subject is totally off limits – Eric is happy to discuss most topics (history, politics, military decisions, treatment of veterans, etc.) defining those interred at Arlington National Cemetery
We will not rush you; the tour is scheduled for at least 3 hours, if you have less than 3 hours to visit Arlington National Cemetery we recommend the shorter tours available through other tour companies

Spent an amazing learning day with Eric at Arlington. His background and knowledge base made our tour something special. We would not have seen anywhere near as many interesting sights nor learned so much “behind the scenes” information without Eric. We never felt rushed. This is not a place to rush, but to remember. Eric will take great care of you, and you will leave the tour knowing so much more about the history of this hallowed ground. Book Eric’s tour….best choice we made!

Eric was an amazing tour guide, telling so many great stories and pointing out many extras in addition to all of the regular Arlington Cemetery highlights. Our 3 hour tour ended up lasting an extra 45 minutes, and we could have kept going if our schedule allowed. We highly recommend his tour to anyone looking for a more personalized and private visit.

Visiting Arlington National Cemetery and having Eric as our guide was the highlight of our trip. If you are interested in visiting the Cemetery, this is the tour to take! Eric is a retired Air Force veteran and during his time in the military was the liaison for Air Force funeral services at Arlington. Although the tour was 3 hours we spent nearly 4 hours in the cemetery and learned more than we could imagine. The tour wasn’t about who was buried where, but rather who the person was, how the individual made their mark and why this person mattered. We were on spring break with our 19 and 21 year old children and did multiple site seeing tours while in the DC area. We all agreed this was our favorite DC tour and would all do this tour again - it was that good!

Eric was an amazing guide. He spent time getting to know us so he could customize his tour to our wants and needs. He spent many years in the military at the Pentagon and has a long history with Arlington National Cemetery so was able to show us many things that we would have missed if we were on our own. Very highly recommend!!
