We had the pleasure of having Alexis be our ghost guide. This was one of the most enjoyable experiences all because of Alexis! She is knowledgeable with the historical background and is passionate about Virginian history; it truly shows in her delivery of her stories!

Bryce was a very good tour guide and made the experience very enjoyable. I can’t hear super well so I had to stay close to him due to the city sounds.
