A Must Tour. Tour guide lived in the area, knew the area, knew the history, was able to knowledgeably answer questions, friendly. The tour was nicely paced for you to take in the information and area. I did not feel rushed. People of all ages would enjoy this tour. Even though group was small, guide used a mike system so I could hear. G-R-E-A-T Tour.

Very interesting. The guide was well read in not only the stories of black enslaved Alexandrians, but the Underground Railroad and slavery in general.
