Customer Reviews
Tim was a wonderful guide. So much great info and we could tell he loved sharing the history. I would take my guests on another tour with him. Thanks
I would highly recommend this tour. Tim, our guide, was not only a very nice guy but also extremely knowledgeable on the history of Alexandria. He had some interesting facts and some funny stories all based on historical research he has done and continues to do.
Great stories about the people and places that made Alexandria the historic treasure that it is today! Tour guide Wayne Kehoe makes learning history fun with tales of intrigue, scandal, politics, parties, and even ghosts! Highly recommend this outstanding walking tour of beautiful Old Town with Alexandria History Tours - owned and operated by the amazing Tim Rose!
