Old Town Alexandria in a Day with Round Trip Ferry Cruise

This tour was a great way to see Alexandria as an introduction to the old quaint city. I enjoyed not having to figure everything out myself as our family usual tour guide:) Our great guide Matt gave us all the history of George Washington’s old stomping grounds along with all the historical stops described. The ferry was a great way to travel there and back and the tour gave us priority boarding. Matt guided us onto the trolley, to shopping areas and places for lunch. The free cupcake was a bonus and was fresh and very good.. I had Boston Cream. Our day was hampered by extreme heat and a thunderstorm downfall but Matt adjusted to the conditions and we were so glad we took this tour!

We met our tour guide Matt at the DC wharf and boarded the ferry to Alexandria. We enjoyed the ride on the Potomac River and Matt pointed out many interesting sights along the way. This was a historical walking tour that Matt made interesting with his vast knowledge of all the stops that were thought out and narrated. The Christ Church stop was a real page of history that was delivered by Margot. We enjoyed the stories she told us and all the photos of the history of the church. We stopped at a local cupcake shop and were treated to our pick out of many delicious choices.

We are seniors and got a little winded so we found a restaurant and had a nice lunch and then Matt escorted us back to the ferry for our return trip to the DC Wharf. We did not like the fact that the lunch break was at 3:00 and would have liked the tour to have started earlier and broke for lunch in the middle. Just our input.

A very enjoyable part day trip, ideal for visitors to DC who want to take in some early history. Guide was knowledgeable and helpful with a good balance of commentary and quiet time.
