First off, Wayne was a spectacular tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and, most importantly, very entertaining and fun. He even gave us random trivia throughout the walks. We stopped at three local restaurants and ended with a cupcake. You will definitely be full at the end and know a lot more about Alexandria’s history! Must do for locals and tourists alike. I will definitely book another tour with Wayne and this company in the future.

Our tour guide, Wayne, was great. Although I've been on other tours in Old Town, I learned many new facts about Alexandria's history. The food was delicious, too. And spaced between walks so that we didn't get too full at one time.

This tour was a great combination of the history of old Alexandria along with excellent food stops. Terry, our guide, was very organized and able to share historical stories in between multiple restaurant stops. I highly recommend this tour.
