We had a marvelous time with Jen as our tour guide while exploring Alexandria! Jen’s knowledge of the history of Alexandria in the 1700’s and the 1800’s was impressive and we learned so much! The food was delicious and well spaced out over the tour with stories that related to the history of the food and often the establishment providing the food. All in all, we had a wonderful day and look forward to more tours with BlueFernTravel!

The tour itself was amazing. Great historical information, interesting foods, Jenn was a fun guide. Our only issue was in the communication from Get your guide. The email they sent directed us to the wrong starting place. Once we were able to communicate with Jenn, all was great
