Eric was great - Our guide Eric was highly knowledgeable and tailored our tour for what we wanted to see. He was professional, funny and engaging. He also made certain to pace the tour according to our physical abilities. He can take a joke and he can dish them out. He’s short so you can see over him. For veterans, he’s a squid and a zoomie. We forgave him that.

Fantastic, excellent,... - Fantastic, excellent, historical experience! Eric (my guide) obviously loves Arlington, is extremely knowledgeable about it’s history and loves sharing that knowledge with as many people as possible. It was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you so much!

Amazing tour of Arlington National Cemetery - Eric was an amazing tour guide. We took this tour because it was the number one activity on my great nephew’s list. The tour is over 4 hours and 4 miles around hilly Arlington National Cemetery. Eric’s knowledge of the history of the cemetery, the people interred there, and the various matters was phenomenal. If you want an in-depth tour, take this one…..you will be supporting a Veteran.

Arlington Walking Tour with Veteran - Eric with Vigilance Tours was phenomenal! He was flexible with our booking as we rescheduled at the last minute due to thunderstorms. He was wonderful! Eric was so knowledgeable about the history of Arlington and even slowed the pace to accommodate me and my artificial hip. It was a “wow” experience made even better by Eric. Nicely done, Eric! Highly recommend!

The depth of knowledge and interesting fun facts kept us entertained the entire three hour tour, honestly I was worried about filling three hours at Arlington. Highly recommend Eric and the tour, would have not experienced the cemetery the same. Many historical facts were impressive.

Our tour was at a casual pace and it was nice to not have a ton of other people as he limits how many can book at a time to keep it personal. He got to know us and adapted to the things we wanted to see as well. He has alot of insider knowledge and you can tell that this tour is personal for him as well, being a veteran himself. We recommended his tour to our VRBO host before we left even and would do it again if we end up back in the area! Thanks Eric!

Best Tour Ever - Excellent veteran-guide that gave a thorough tour of Arlington Cemetery buildings, burial sites, history, and engaging stories.

Awesome tour of Arlington. - Eric is a fantastic guide. Knows unique history and background on Arlington that makes tour very special. One of the highlights of our visit to DC.

This is the tour you want. - This is what you want. Eric is incredible and his perspective brings incredible depth to this visit. Behind the scenes stories and personal accounts tailored to your connection to the cemetery or family history. This decision is a no brainer if you are visiting Arlington. And a huge amount of appreciation and respect to Eric.

Arlington National Cemetery-April 2025 - This is the only way to experience Arlington National Cemetery. The property is so expansive that it would be impossible to see all the highlights without a guide. My guide was an extremely knowledgeable veteran who provided a vast wealth of information about the history and traditions of the National Park. He also helped me to follow the correct etiquette, especially while witnessing the changing of the guard. This was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Thank you Eric.

Arlington Done The Right Way - By far one of the best tours I've taken. Eric walks you through a large portion of the cemetery giving you the rundown of what you need to know. He also dives into a lot of fun facts and history that at times may not relate to Arlington, but will be significant to the cemetery in some way. I think this is what made the tour so special. I'm not one to do a lot of talking myself but Eric could go on for hours about our country's history. He left me with lots of stories to share with others about the cemetery and I'm thankful for his insight.
