I had a wonderful experience on the historic Old Town Alexandria walking tour! Eileen was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of Alexandria to life with fascinating stories and insights. The pace was perfect and Eileen‘s enthusiasm for the city’s rich history was contagious. From colonial landmarks to hidden gems, every stop was filled with interesting details I wouldn’t have learned on my own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alexandria.
