What to expect
Old Town
On this tour, you'll explore the history and culture of Old Town Alexandria and taste carefully selected tastings along the way.
Alexandria City Hall & Market Square
After our first restaurant stop, we'll pass through Market Square, the heart of Old Town. If you tour with us on Saturdays, you'll see the longest running farmer's market in action!
Alexandria Visitors Center
As we stroll down King Street, we'll pass by Ramsey House. If you plan to explore more after the tour, we encourage our guests to return here to speak with the friendly staff with a wealth of information.
Athenaeum
Our tour route takes you past the Athenaeum, a gallery of fine arts and a performance space. The building is an impressive example of Greek Revival architecture.
Waterfront Park
Alexandria's newest park sits at the end of King Street and features temporary public art installations, the first of which is an interactive, responsive work. The art responds to sound with illuminated color, bathing visitors in rainbow-hued light as they talk, sing, and play within the installation.
Torpedo Factory Art Center
We'll pass through the Torpedo Factory, which is home to the nation’s largest collection of working-artists’ open studios under one roof.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
