Lennon, our guide, was enthusiastic, very informative and funny. This is such a beautiful, busy and old town with a fun modern flare. So much rich history here.

When you join the tour your guide clearly explains 2 things:…read more 1. "This is not a historical tour and I am not a professor, so don't expect to go away with some newfound knowledge of colonial history. Rather, tonight is about the booze and the boos. So let loose, drink up, and have fun because I know I will." 2. "If you are a non-believer, don't spoil it for the rest of us with negative comments. Please don't burst our little bubbles." I was so happy that our host set the standard right off the bat with the appropriate mood and knowing what to expect. This is not the right tour for you if you are uptight, critical, or judgmental. No one likes a "negative-Nancy-know-it-all" when taking a tour, especially when it has to do with something like ghosts. Not to say that I am a believer in ghosts myself, because I don't actually know if I do or I don't; but, I also don't like a smug smarty-pants challenging the guide every 5 minutes with snarky comments. With that being said, our guide Katie (or Kate?) did an awesome job at keeping the tone of the tour fun and social with some booze and some ghostly stories thrown in. A previous reviewer said their tour ended early, ours actually ran over because we were all having such a great time with one another. We went to 4 pubs and 6 haunted locations. Overall, I think it was a great tour that I would recommend to anyone who wants to have a fun night out on the town. It is a unique alternative to just sitting in a bar on a Friday night.

We took a food tour for Leesburg VA in early March. It has…read morebeen 2+ months but to this day, I am still a bit sour about the tour guide that we had, Jen (she was Half-Asian). My girl friends and I signed up for this food tour to eat at food restaurants and have fun amongst each otherm the tour guide treated us like children, and acted like she was a historical teacher the whole time. We were not overly disruptive and just wanted to each other's company while having good food. We signed up for a "FOOD" tour but instead Jen instead that it was also a historical tour and made us very uncomfortable by over-lectueinf and quizzing us about historical facts about Leesburg, slavery and Civil War. At one point, between the third and fourth food tour stop, she made us take a huge detour around the town so she could over explain about histories behind slavery trading in Leesburg. At once point we got really bored and tired of being treated like children (we are all professional women over 30+ years old), and started laughing behind a bit in the street to chat. She had a full to turn to one of my friends and say 'plesee tell your friends to stop talking and pay attention to what I'm saying about these important events.' She over-shared that she leads school tours in DC during g other parts of the year and maybe she confused us with the school-aged children. But we did not enjoy our experience with her. I contemplated not sharing this awhile because I really think hard about leaving a negative review, but even two months later, her condescending attitude and the way we were treated as a group really stings us. I hope this type of tour guide can be curtailed and mapped for a "food" tour experience they advertised and we paid for instead of historical lectures. The tour guide needs to be re-educater.

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. We rented 9 bikes for the Mt. Vernon ride + water…read moretaxi back. All 9 of the bikes had issues with gears. One bike completely fell apart during the ride. Half of our group had to walk the last 2+ miles of the ride. Instead of apologizing and reimbursing us for the faulty bike, we were told that it was a new bike and out of their kindness, they wouldn't charge us to repair it. In addition, when we arrived at 9am there was only one employee working and several groups ahead of us. We had to wait 30-40 minutes to get our bikes. With the late start and having to walk 2+ miles, we were late for the Mt. Vernon tour and our time there was rushed - we barely made it to the water taxi. Not sure what more I could add. It was a horrible experience. Not recommended - unreliable bikes, poor service.

You can find out what's going on not just in old town, but in DC, and the surrounding DC metro area. I first visited the Ramsay House when I heard of the ghost tour called Footsteps to the Past. I paid $8 for the tour, not really knowing if it would be all that fun. Let me tell you, it was a blast. Our tour guide was extremely enthusiastic when it came to telling the tales of ghosts and hauntings within old town. She was also very knowledgeable when it came to history. There wasn't one question that stumped her. What I thought would be a so so tour, turned out to be a great time. On the tour, you'll walk about 6 blocks through some of old towns most beautiful streets. Basically, it's a great way to learn more about the history of old town. It's great for the family, kids especially. Wear some decent walking shoes and bring a bottle of water.

Lunch was also provided and included sandwiches, fruit, potato salad, and dessert as well as water and soft drinks. We would definitely sign up with Virginia Wine Tours for another event!
