About Alexandria Colonial Tours
HISTORY
Alexandria’s Ghost & Graveyard Tours were previously offered by Doorways to Old Virginia. Doorways owners, Ed and Stella Michals, retired and passed on their business to one of their veteran tour guides, Wellington Watts, who began Alexandria Colonial Tours. Watts and his team of veteran tour guides carry on the long standing tradition.
