We loved this tour! Tim was great! The previous day, my husband and I had just had a very busy day touring the major sites of Washington D.C. We were a little overwhelmed with the crowds and the hustle and bustle, so we figured it would be nice to stay in Old Town Alexandria for the day (we were staying there with relatives). It turns out it was the perfect thing to do. We got a dose of history by learning about the Revolutionary War and enjoyed a beautiful and quiet walk through the gorgeous neighborhoods of Old Town. Tim knew so much and was just fun to hang out with. Highly recommend.
