Beschrijving
Vigilance Tours is anders dan andere tours Met 25 jaar werkkennis van Arlington National Cemetery, het Pentagon, het Congres en DC – is Eric Hommel (Lt Col, USAF (met pensioen)) de enige begraafplaatsgids die verder gaat dan de feiten en cijfers en de verhalen achter de feiten en cijfers bespreekt De tour is interactief – door u te leren kennen, streeft Eric ernaar om de tour betekenisvol te maken met behoud van de eerbied van Arlington National Cemetery Om elkaar beter te leren kennen, beperken we de grootte van de tourgroep tot maximaal 12 bezoekers Geen enkel onderwerp is volledig verboden terrein – Eric bespreekt graag de meeste onderwerpen (geschiedenis, politiek, militaire beslissingen, behandeling van veteranen, enz.) We zullen u niet haasten; de tour is gepland voor minimaal 3 uur, als u minder dan 3 uur heeft om de begraafplaats te bezoeken raden we kortere tours met andere bedrijven aan Eric is de auteur van: HET VERLIEZENDE SPEL: HOE EEN OORLOG TE VERLIEZEN EN FALEN VETERANEN (Amazone)

Guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging- just be sure to bring water if it is a hot day! There is a lot of walking!
Hands down, this was the most incredible experience during our time in DC. Eric is an amazing guide, connecting you to the history of Arlington through stories about those who impacted its legacy and those who are resting there. The information he provides is engaging and memorable. He ensures your visit checks the boxes for your interests. Our visit to Arlington was made exponentially better thanks to Eric. We left feeling connected to the history, humbled by the heroes resting there, and thankful to have the knowledge he shared. If you have the chance, don’t hesitate to book this tour. You will not regret it. Our tour group consisted of high school Girl Scouts, leaders, and their families. All said this visit was “10 out of 10”. Thank you, Eric, for going above and beyond to make this a visit of a lifetime.
Eric was a wonderful guide! We could not have asked for a better experience! 10/10 would do this again!
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!

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!
