A fun ghost tour and stroll through beautiful Alexandria. I love taking ghost tours in different cities, you really get the true history. We arrived a couple of minutes late, she was so nice to accept us! I can't remember our guides name, I feel terrible but she was great and had a bubbly personality. She was young and full of knowledge about Alexandria and it's past. I wish it would have been a little more spooky but we learned so much about the city.

Had a great experience on the tour. The guides texted the group prior to the tour to confirm the meeting location and time. They greeted everyone warmly and we started ontime. Our guide shared engaging and spooky ghost stories of Old Town Alexandria as we walked around the city. Highly recommend.
