Colonial Tours in Old Town Alexandria

Old Town’s Ghosts and Graveyards tour is sure to spook even the most macho tourist. Visit Alexandria’s most notorious spots as an 18th century-clad guide tells tales of vengeful spirits and mysteries of the past. If you prefer history to horror, take the African-American History Tour and learn about Solomon Northup of “12 Years a Slave” among other notable abolitionists, or spark some friendly competition with a self-led scavenger hunt. –LW / alexcolonialtours.com
