Very engaging tour guide. Enjoyed the ghost stories.. Our tour even got a special treat when the owner of one of the houses we were walking by spontaneously invited us for a look inside his house from the 1700’s.

Very fun and informative, short guided walking tour of haunted spots in Old Town Alexandria. Our guide Emma, dressed in a fabulous period costume that she made herself (very impressive), was a great story teller. She made the hour long tour go by too quickly.

Rachel is a fantastic story teller. We walked about Old Town Alexandria in a group of about 12 people. She kept a good pace in the hear and humidity. It was a very family friendly ghost tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! Rachel does a fantastic job balancing engaging storytelling with the practical side of leading a walking tour, especially during the summer months. We're so glad your group enjoyed the family-friendly experience, and we appreciate you joining us.

I’ve never done a ghost tour before but Lenin was absolutely fantastic - she brought such energy and humor to the whole thing. We absolutely loved it and her. Will be back!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you! We're thrilled Lennon made your first ghost tour such a memorable one. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and we'd love to have you back for another adventure.

Great fun way to see Alexandria from the paranormal side! Bryce was an enthusiastic guide with lots of knowledge. Would recommend booking as this is the only original tour group in Alexandria for ghost tours.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for the recommendation! Bryce loves sharing Alexandria's haunted history, and we're glad you enjoyed exploring it with us. We also appreciate you recognizing that we've been sharing these stories here since 1985.

This tour was focused a little bit more on the paranormal than on history, but our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I believe this is the second tour I have done with the company. I personally lean a little more towards interest in history, but that’s personal preference. I always love old town Alexandria. I definitely recommend doing this after dark. It was great.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for coming back to tour with us! We appreciate your thoughtful feedback. This particular route does lean more into the paranormal side of Alexandria's history, and we're glad you still enjoyed the experience. We hope you'll join us again for one of our other tours as well.

My tour guide was awesome and grew up in Alexandria and was amazing to give us his story as well as the ghost stories
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We love when our local guides can share their own connections to the city along with its haunted history. We're so glad you enjoyed the experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

This was a fun way to see Old Alexandria, hear some great stories and view all the fun Halloween decorations. Our guide, Aslin, did a great job!
Sloane_S, Oct 2025
It was a fun experience, and not very expensive, but we didn't feel we learned much. There were maybe three stories total, and one was something that was 10 blocks away from our location. We were hoping for a bit more spookiness and history. Our guide was lovely, though, and clearly loved her job. There just wasn't enough information to keep us engaged.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your guide, but we’d love the chance to give you a fuller experience next time. Please reach out to ghostandgraveyardtour@gmail.com
— we’d love to get you on another tour to show you what we’re truly known for: spooky stories and rich history!
Ralf_S, Oct 2025
Fun and informative. Less of a true ghost tour and more of a tour of scary stories. But you get to see a different side of the history of Old Town. Had a good time and would do the other tour they offer more towards north Old Town.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed exploring a different side of Old Town’s history with us. Our tours are designed to blend folklore, ghost stories, and real history — and we’d love for you to experience our North Route next time for a new perspective on Alexandria’s haunted past.

It was a nice walking path. However, the storytelling left more to be desired. Maybe it was the guides off day, but it felt boring at many moments.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the walking path, but we’re sorry the storytelling didn’t meet expectations during your tour. While everyone can have an off day, we aim to deliver a consistently engaging and memorable experience. We’d really appreciate the opportunity to make it right—please feel free to reach out to us at ghostandgraveyardtour@gmail.com so we can follow up with you directly. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future.

Don’t buy ice cream before! They will give you vouchers for places around there lol. The tour itself was engaging and spooky for everyone in our group! I noticed one mom have to tell her son that the spirits wouldn’t get him. We were so taken by the stories on the route that we had to go back after the tour and scare ourselves some more with just the two of us calling for the ghosts and seeing if we could provoke them into a paranormal encounter. Our host was very personable and had deep roots with the town which added to the magic of his tales. It was very entertaining and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn ghostly history about the town of Alexandria!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for such an awesome and detailed review! We love that you were so into the stories you went back to chase ghosts on your own — that's the spirit! Your host will be thrilled to hear how much their storytelling and hometown connection added to the experience. And yes, next time... save the ice cream for after the tour — those vouchers come in handy! Hope to see you again for another night of ghostly fun!
