Ghost Tours · VIRGINIA
The good virginia ghost tours sell out on the nights you actually want. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet a colonial-garbed guide at the Ramsay House Visitor’s Center for a one-hour walking tour through Old Town Alexandria. Expect ghost stories, local folklore, and history tied to the town’s streets, ending in a local graveyard. The English-language tour costs $20 and accepts groups of up to 25.
“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.”
Join a costumed guide such as Magic, Captain Kirk, Katie, or Sam for a 2.5-hour walk through Old Town Alexandria. Hear ghost stories at Carlyle House, gelato shops, and four historic bars, with time to buy drinks along the way. The small group is limited to 12 people, and you receive a commemorative cup or can cooler.
“Loved the ghost stories and seeing historical Alexandria. Our tour guide was funny and full of interesting stories about the past”
Meet at 301 King Street at 8 p.m. for a one-hour walk through Old Town Alexandria. Guides such as Buzz, Jessica, and Janda blend documented hauntings with Revolutionary and Civil War stories, stopping at Carlyle House, The Athenaeum, City Hall, and Wilkes Tunnel. The advertised group limit is 15 people.
“Janda did a great job with the tour and making us enjoy our evening out and about with the spirits of the night”
Start at 6:00 pm on North Royal Street for a 1-hour-45-minute walking tour through haunted Alexandria. Your English-speaking guide connects Union Street Public House, a reportedly haunted museum, the Bayou Room, City Hall, and Daniel O'Connell's with tales of unexplained sightings. Drinks cost extra, and the tour returns to its starting point.
