Great Tour and even better guide!!!

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour and fantastic guide. Filled with interesting facts from someone who has obviously spent years researching the founding and history of Alexandria. Guide spent ample time at each site, expounding by answering group questions. Even as the tour went slightly over time, they continued to provide great information. We were even taken into the fial church, which was an extra, and very special.

First rate historical experience

Tim was a charismatic and personable guide. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history of Alexandria and the Revolutionary/American/Civil Wars. Definitely recommend this tour.

Informative & Fun tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Tim led a tour for me and my boyfriend, it was just the two of us (during the heatwave) and Tim still took his time to show us around Alexandria and make the tour special. Each stop was interesting and Tim had great stories to tell; we walked away having learned some new things - even as history lovers! Tim was an excellent guide and even gave us some tips on other things to do while we were in Alexandria.
