Great tour! Highly recommend! - My mom and I really enjoyed our tour. We learned a lot and saw so much. Our tour guide, Pamela, was very personable and knowledgeable. We saw so much of Alexandria and learned so much about it's role in both the slave trade and in manumission and the Underground Railroad. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about these subjects and see Alexandria in a different, more complex light. Our tickets were only $15 and more than worth the price and further reading recommendations!

Rainy day but we had Fun - Our tour guide was Pam N. She was knowledgeable and passionate. She made sure we asked questions and interacted as a group. I enjoyed the walking Tour, even if it was a cold and rainy day!!

Great informative tour. Hidden history on display. - Wonderful tour! Learned so much and our guide was seriously knowledgeable. I had no idea what is hidden behind the veneer of Old Town Alexandria - such a rich history.

3 Generations Really Liked This Tour! - Really great tour! It was highly recommended by a friend. We, our kids and grandkids (visiting from New Zealand) really found it interesting. Getting the African American view of Alexandria’s history was eye opening. Pamela was a superbly knowledgeable and engaging guide. We highly recommend this tour! (We all really liked it even with temperatures in the muggy mid-90’s!)

Good stories well told - Highly recommend this tour to those interested in stories that help to bring history alive. Mr. Chapman is a very engaging host who encourages questions and clearly knows his stuff. The tour was rated excellent by me and my husband, midle-aged history buffs and long-time Alexandria residents, and by our teenage niece. Good length of time, distance covered, size of group, and walking pace, as well. Don't miss this tour.

Quality Excursion - Excellent guide. Pamela was knowledgeable and paced the tour for older participants. The detail and dates recalled was exceptional! Highly recommend.

Awesome tour of historic American Alexandria, VA - I thoroughly enjoyed the tour with John. He was very captivating and passionate about the subject matter. I have a new appreciation for a walk through Old Town Alexandria from an African-American perspective

No show - Waste of my time, no one showed. Called the touring company and they had no knowledge of my booking but my card was charged so I will be expecting a refund from TripAdvisor.

Poor customer service. No notification and no guide. - The guide didn’t show up for the 10 am tour. Neither did anyone else. I guess he didn’t want to work the tips for only two people! They even sent us directions on how to get there! We got our money back but we were looking forward to the tour and were frustrated by the inconvenience and inconsideration of the tour company. We booked thru Viator. I wouldn’t recommend the tour or Viator.

Guide did not arrive - The guide didn’t show up. I texted the company- no apology or explanation. I am so disappointed- I was really looking forward to this tour.
