Pam
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
Nana
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.
Prince
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!
Nicole
This was my first time in Alexandria and I don't have much background in American history, so I'm glad that I did this tour. My guide was Tim and he made this so much fun, while catering to my interests! He has great energy and a passion for Alexandria, which makes this tour of Old Town come alive. Tim is knowledgeable about the town's past and the key figures who helped establish it. We viewed some cool parts of Alexandria and heard interesting stories, which really stuck with me, despite not being a history buff. The tour was also a great way to become familiar with the town, so I could explore it later on my own. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alexandria!

Tim is an absolutely fantastic tour guide! He delivered a tour on the history of Old Town Alexandria, George Washington’s life there, and on the town’s connections to the Revolutionary War. I am visiting from Scotland and he had lots of highly relevant information relating to the Scots who played a part in the Revolutionary War, which was a nice touch. Thank you!
