View on Google MapsEXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE. This tour was one of the very best we have experienced. Eric is a brilliant and engaging historical story teller. We learnt so much not only about the Arlington National Cemetery and military snippets but also about the connections, relationships and stories of many significant individuals. Eric's military background provided a wealth of information and experiences which he shared to give a truly authentic tour.
The best tour in DC!! You cannot miss an opportunity to see Arlington with Eric - you will never forget it. He gives you an unprecedented look at the history and stories associated with Arlington. Absolutely wonderful experience!
We got way more than we ever expected from our time spent with Eric at Arlington. He imparted so much information that we would never have discovered on our own. Eric has an unparalleled background giving him a profound ability to share stories and facts about many aspects of the cemetery and the people laid to rest there. His engaging personality and desire to please us as to what we were wanting to experience from the tour made this a highlight of our time spent out East. We can't recommend this tour highly enough. If there was a 10 star rating, it would be a 10.

Exceptional, 5 stars. Eric was a wealth of knowledge, friendly and patient. This was not a timed tour. He gave us far more time that we expected... and it was well worth. Do not visit Arlington Cemetery without Eric. You won't be disappointed.
This was so informative! I’m no a history buff, I learned so much about people that died for my freedom. Emotional. Everyone should go! Our 3 1/2 hour tour was 5 hours! Perfect. He loves his job. Sharing with passion. Worth every penny, so glad we didn’t go on our own.
Eric is the best tour guide ever! So knowledgeable about Arlington Cemetery and the history behind it! Highly recommend!!!
The absolute best experience!!! Eric was amazing, so knowledgeable, patient and kind. It was our favorite tour while in DC and would highly recommend it. Thank you Eric for your service to our Country and sharing your knowledge and experience with us!
Eric Hommel, the tour guide, is amazing. He has a wealth of information and experience from his time in the military and in D.C. I highly recommend reading his book, "The Losing Game", prior to the tour. If you read it, you will really appreciate him and what he's been through.
We had the privilege of touring Arlington National Cemetery with Eric Hommel, a retired Lieutenant Colonel, and it was absolutely outstanding. I arranged this private tour for my husband, who is a history enthusiast, and it exceeded every expectation. Eric is incredibly knowledgeable and an exceptional storyteller—he weaves history, personal experience, and fascinating facts together in a way that brings the cemetery to life. Throughout the tour, we found ourselves laughing, learning, and even tearing up at times. His passion and respect for the history and the heroes resting there was deeply moving and contagious. The small group setting made it feel intimate and personal, giving us the chance to ask questions and soak in every detail. We left not only more informed but also profoundly touched. We are so grateful for this unforgettable experience. If you have the opportunity to take a tour with Eric, do not hesitate you will walk away with your heart full and your mind inspired.
This tour of Arlington National Cemetery was perfect, and Eric was a superb guide, who made the experience very educational and due to his vast experience (military veteran serving overseas and Stateside, prior vast experience at Arlington Cemetery, and his great teaching and interpersonal skills), and impressive knowledge, my family and I really enjoyed the wonderful tour and learned so much. This has got to be one of the best tours in the world, so sign up and go, you will be amazed how thorough and informative and friendly the guide Eric is.
