Traveler reviews
Half-day well spent
I recently took a half-day trip to Mount Vernon, which also included a bus tour of Old Alexandria, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The tour was well organised, giving us time to see the highlights in the grounds, gardens, and house while still fitting in a relaxing and informative drive through Old Alexandria. The combination of history, scenery, and local insight made for a perfect half-day experience. A special mention goes to Lori, our tour guide, who was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the history of the area to life with interesting stories and great humour throughout the trip. Her enthusiasm really made the experience memorable. Khalif, our driver, was equally superb. He navigated the busy roads smoothly and safely, making the journey comfortable and stress-free. His professionalism and friendly attitude added to the overall enjoyment of the day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Washington area and looking for an enjoyable and informative trip outside the city.
Nice Tour
This was a very nice tour. Lori, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and informative. Would highly recommend.
Mount Vernon tour
Brittney our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Weather also cooperated making for a very good afternoon. The bus was clean and the driver also very pleasant.
Mount Vernon is not to be missed!
Mount Vernon is a beautiful place to see. The bus was clean comfortable and air conditioned. We were able to securely leave our backpacks on the bus during our tour. Britney was a great tour guide, narrating our ride through the city, pointing out the historic sites and telling interesting facts and stories with humor and personality. She guided our tour of the Mount Vernon grounds and taught us about the tombs of the Washington family and also about the lives and burial grounds of the enslaved people who lived and worked there. We took off one star because we wished there had been an extra hour to spend more time in the historical museum on site. Thank you for a great tour!
My Vernon Tour
We had a great time there is a lot of walking and unfortunately it rained the day we went so it could be muddy and slippery. Wear sensible shoes and be careful..
