This was such a fabulous tour with so much history and insight into Arlington and how it came to be. We were introduced to several notable sites and of course the changing of the guard was wonderful to witness. Eric was so interesting and was able to provide me with the area and tomb number of the young man I was interested in visiting, which I greatly appreciated. I would recommend this tour highly.
Eric was informative, entertaining and truly loves what he is doing. We had an incredible experience!
We have travelled the World and been on many tours. Eric has a wealth of knowledge and shared insight during our tour that really made a trip to Arlington National Cemetary meaningful We would rate this as one of the best tours we have been on But be aware..it has a lot of walking some of which is uphill
Eric was an outstanding guide on our tour of Arlington National Cemetery. His knowledge of the cemetery’s history, the significance of the memorials, and the stories of those laid to rest there made the experience incredibly meaningful. He was engaging, respectful, and answered every question with patience and insight. Eric’s passion for history and his professionalism made this tour unforgettable. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Arlington and wanting a deeper understanding of this remarkable place.
Eric was friendly, informative, helpful and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. His knowledge is incredible. Highly recommend
Eric is an outstanding guide. We toured with our 11 year old grandson and he enjoyed the tour as much as we did. Eric has a wealth of knowledge and answered our grandson’s numerous questions. It was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon learning about Arlington and those who gave their lives for our freedom. I highly recommend this tour!
Eric was an awesome tour guide! He was so engaging and had a lots of interesting stories about Arlington cemetery and the history of it. I would definitely recommend this tour to every one.
Extremely informative. Lots of time to ask questions. Led by a veteran who shares in depth stories of history. Highly recommend
We had a wonderful experience on our private tour with Eric. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. We were able to ask him many questions and go at our own pace. We learned so much from him! Eric has an amazing background and a great guy. He was also very responsive, communicative. This tour exceeded our expectations- definitely a highlight of our DC trip. Highly recommend this tour!!
Our tour started by meeting Eric, who was kind enough to bring along an umbrella because the day was rainy. The experience with him is something we could not have asked to be any better. He was knowledgeable. He cared deeply about the history and the people interred at Arlington. Our tour was supposed to end at noon - he asked us if we would like to keep going and we did not break until nearly 2 PM to ensure we covered all of the folks Eric wanted to introduce us to. Eric is very clearly a man with a very rich résumé himself and showed utmost reverence for those whose final resting place was at Arlington. The overarching theme of his tour was that “war is easy, peace is hard.” We could not have asked for a better tour guide for our first time through Arlington National Cemetery. Five stars.
