Take an Old Town Alexandria Walking Tour and discover its extraordinary history with a resident historian and owner of DC Military Tours, Tom Schultz. I am a twenty-year resident of Old Town and I enjoy showing off my neighborhood.
Steps from my own home, we will stroll around Old Town Alexandria, a colonial city rich in architecture. We may run into shopkeepers and neighbors whom I know personally. Receive inside knowledge on the local habits and the best tastes and bargains in Old Town. Start your private walking tour at the garden of the Alexandria Visitor’s Center at 221 King Street. This is a dog friendly tour so bring the pooch!
Navigate the colonial streets of Old Town with discoveries at the Athenaeum, Captain’s Row, The Carlyle House, an actual Torpedo Factory, the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary and Gadsby’s Tavern

Tom was a great guide, and so patient answering all our questions. Clearly he knows his History! We would definitely book another one of his tours!

The tour was pleasant, but grossly overpriced, and light on information. Probably would have worked for a larger group with no familiarity with Old Town Alexandria. Time and money would be better spent on a guide book, and in person tours of local properties or one of several specialty walking tours offered by Manumission Tour Company.

Fantastic tour with very knowledgeable guide, not just about Alexandria, but the entire DC area and general American history. Loved how truly dog friendly this tour was. Several indoor stops welcomed dogs. A highlight of our visit. Highly recommended!
