Alexandria, VA Day Tours

Colonial History & Waterfront Charm

Historic Alexandria, Virginia, located just outside Washington DC along the Potomac River, is one of the most charming and historically rich cities in the United States. Founded in 1749, Alexandria boasts one of the nation’s oldest historic districts and a vibrant waterfront filled with shops, restaurants, and museums.

The city is closely associated with George Washington, whose famous Mount Vernon estate sits just south of Alexandria along the Potomac River. Today Mount Vernon remains one of the most visited historic sites in the country.

An Alexandria bike day tour can take riders along the Mount Vernon Trail, through the historic streets of Old Town, and past notable sights such as King Street Mile, the waterfront district, and the city’s many historic homes and museums. They can also be combined with a scenic boat cruise to Washington DC along the Potomac River.
