Under the leadership of public historian and cemetery superintendent David Heiby, this exclusive tour offers unique access to a 13-cemetery complex. Within this single square mile, visitors will find the resting places of George Washington’s pallbearers, a Soviet spy, and the highest-ranking Confederate general. This tour is not about reciting scripts; it’s about sharing personal discoveries, such as graves found after 200 years and verified with ground-penetrating radar, along with stories from restricted archives that other tours overlook. Enjoy small groups, peaceful paths, and access to gates that most visitors never see. For those seeking an Alexandria guided tour that ventures beyond King Street, this is the perfect choice.

What makes it special: led by the public historian who uncovered George Washington’s lost pallbearer. With over 25 years of guiding experience and a 5.0-star rating, historians, descendants, and locals recommend this tour for genuine access and original research.
