We completed the south tour with Jimmy and he was AMAZING! He was funny and very knowledgeable and made the entire tour enjoyable. I’m a native Alexandrian so I was surprised to learn so much about a city I’ve lived in my entire life! I’ll definitely be going back and doing the other tours! Hopefully with Jimmy!

Strongest possible recommendation for Alexandria Colonial Tours ghost tour with extraordinary guide Jimmy. The charm of Old Town on one of the first good crispy Fall evenings can’t be overstated, but Jimmy’s perfect control of his craft drew us into a spooky pocket dimension. I got chills in the first five minutes. Jimmy makes it a whole multimedia experience too! Jimmy is also an expert historian. His love of learning all about the rich past in the area comes out in his elaborately ornamented tales. Plus this dude knows how to get your skin crawling. My kid was trying to wear me as a security blankie by the end, and I wasn’t trying too hard to get away from him bc I was pretty spooked out too. Jimmy was so kind and generous with all the guests, building a fun rapport with other less petrified kids throughout the tour, they were giving him high fives in the middle of his talk. The adults on dates were talking about how scared they were while we were walking from spooky spot to spot. The ending in the dark grave yard was totally creepy too. And then he let us take turns holding the lantern! What a great sport. You guys should not miss this one. Once in a lifetime entertainment for real, but we will be back soon to do the North route with Jimmy to hear about the headless ghost over there!

Just did the holiday ghost tour and it was excellent! Our tour guide Jimmy, was a font of knowledge and peppered the well- planned tour with personal tales, extra facts, and incredible folklore! We had already done the regular ghost tour and learned so much on this different one!

Unfortunately, I didn’t see a ghost but our guide (Clarissa) did a wonderful job entertaining us with interesting stories! It was a fun experience and a chance to get to see some of the historic part of town.

What a fun and entertaining way to get some history and folklore about Alexandria. Our tour guide was Kevin and he was amazing. Kept us entertained the entire time. I’d definitely recommend doing this tour when you’re in Alexandria.

I gave this review a 4/5 but here is the nuance. The tour, the tour guide, was great. However, the areas you walk are busy, lots of loud nightlife (not the tours fault) so it sometimes made it hard to hear the tour guide and did take away from the ‘scary’ feeling of it all. The tour isn’t pricey, well worth it if you are considering.

I had a great time!!! I loved that it wasn’t too scary and very historical. My only minor suggestion would be to have a very scary tour option. I’d pay more for this as well. Just a thought! Over all had a great time, Alex was awesome, and left feeling a little spooked and like I got to learn a lot more about old town.

This was the best part of our day while visiting Alexandria. I would recommend if you are into true crime or ghost stories. Jimmy made our experience very wonderful and all of us were pretty spooked. I would definitely recommend! Makes me want to visit for Halloween! Thank you guys!
