“I have lived in the Washington DC area for over 20 years, and I recommend this as the top attraction and tour to take there. Fascinating and powerful in every way. It’s the best way to learn and walk I could imagine. If you appreciate American and military history, you will not find a better tour or a better tour guide for Arlington National Cemetery than Eric Hommel.”

“Absolutely amazing tour!
We found Eric of Vigilance Tours LLC through the Westin website. He came “Highly Recommended.” I have to say, Eric was the best tour guide for Arlington National Cemetery.
Eric Hommel, being a two service veteran, a combat veteran with multiple tours, and a private historian, made for a unique, personalized and exciting tour. Eric’s knowledge of history and the geopolitical spectrum surrounding our nation’s capital at the time of the cemetery’s inception was enlightening. He provided vast insight to the landscape, cemetery protocols and architectural symbolisms all the while engaging personally with us.
Being a veteran, I was grateful for Eric’s professional demeanor and his like minded reverence for our nation’s most sacred, hallowed grounds. Our three hour walking tour spanned the graves of American heroes, presidents, Chief Justices, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and many of my personal heroes. Eric provided great details regarding grave nuances and anecdotal back stories. We walked away in awe.
I cannot recommend Eric Hommel and Vigilance Tours LLC enough! “Highly recommend” is an understatement.”
