Rejseplan
Vi starter ved Ramsay House og diskuterer oprindelsen af Alexandria, Virginia. William Ramsay var en skotsk købmand og god ven af George Washington. Han var en af grundlæggerne af Alexandria. Dette første stop indeholder en af vores foretrukne skjulte perler. Tip: Det gemmer sig i almindeligt syn!
Rejsende vil opdage, hvor den amerikanske revolution blev født. Det siger du ikke! Tyve år før uafhængighedskrigen startede, var begivenheder i gang, som ville føre til, at de amerikanske kolonier erklærede uafhængighed.
Vi vil stoppe uden for Gadsby's og tale om dets forbindelse til de tidlige amerikanske præsidenter. Vi vil også se den berømte isbrønd!
Historien om det berømte Spite House vil blive fortalt. Vi vil se det berømte hus og sørge for, at gæsterne kan tage billeder!
Oplev, hvor George Washington gik i kirke i Alexandria. Du kan endda sidde i hans kirkestol.
Vi passerer Athenaeum, mens vi går ned ad Prince Street og går mod Captain's Row. Der er en overflod af fascinerende steder langs den 200 blok af Prince Street. Smukke hjem, der har historier helt tilbage til det 18. århundrede.
En af Alexandrias klassiske brostensbelagte gader. Sjov og fascinerende historie med en af Alexandrias største brande. Vi vil diskutere, hvorfor det hedder Captain's Row. Dette vil være det sidste stop på turen, og vi vil tage billeder og være tæt på gode restauranter!

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed your tour. Yes, our guides will go out of their way to make sure everyone is comfortable if there is heat. I am glad you had fun with us in Alexandria!
Our tour of Alexandria was charming, fun, and fascinating. Jeff was an excellent tour guide, keeping us in the shade, taking us through nearly-tangible historic events as we walked the same streets as Revolutionary patriots, the Founding Fathers, and Civil War soldiers. Old Town contains layers and layers of human experience; Jeff brought it to life with historic photos, fun trivia, terrific stories, and a stroll along the lovely streets of the city.
I am really glad to hear you had fun on your tour with Jeff. Jeff does a great job keeping the tours fun and informative and it is awesome to hear that this experience lived up to expectations. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I hope you will come back again in the future!

Showing us visuals along the route added to our understanding of what a significant part the splendid Old Town Alexandria area played in history.
