You’ll follow an 18th century costumed guide by lantern light through the charming streets of Alexandria’s historic district known as Old Town.
On this entertaining tour you’ll hear ghost stories, legends and folklore. You will also hear about unsolved mysteries, tales of romance and angry ghosts looking for revenge.
Each tour is a one-hour, six-block walk. At the tour’s end your guide will abandon you in a graveyard!
Tours depart from the Visitors Center, 221 King Street in Alexandria – only two blocks from the Potomac River. Appropriate for ages 9 and up.
