Old Town Alexandria in a Day with Ferry Cruise

Escape the bustle of Washington, D.C., for an afternoon and embark on a historic journey to Alexandria's Old Town. After a scenic boat cruise down the Potomac River, disembark to explore one of America's best-preserved colonial towns with a knowledgeable guide. Visit the elegant Carlyle House, Wise's Tavern—once frequented by George Washington—and Christ Church Alexandria, where Washington worshiped. Enjoy a local bakery treat, then hop aboard the charming King Street Trolley to glide past shops and colonial architecture.
Continue your journey at Gadsby's Tavern, where Washington, Jefferson, and Lafayette dined, and explore the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary, an 18th-century pharmacy serving figures like Martha Washington. After free time to wander King Street's galleries, shops, and cafes, return to the dock for a peaceful cruise back to D.C., reflecting on the rich history and iconic landmarks of early America.
