Grand Canyon South Rim Day Tour from Las Vegas

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Brittany and Leah! They are so knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. We appreciated the drive through Old Alexandria. The amount of time given at Mount Vernon was just right for us. Brittany was so helpful and accommodating. I have vertigo and a tendency towards heat exhaustion and she made sure I found places to sit and air conditioning. A gem! Leah is such a great driver! We enjoyed chatting with her. I highly recommend this tour and these staff members!

The Guide, Joey, and the driver of the tour bus, Richard, were geat; Joey was very knowledgeable, was very courteous and was a terrific guide. Our driver Richard also did a great job. You should be proud to have such wonderful employees.

I enjoyed Elvis's sense of humor. The tour was never boring. He is very knowledgeable about history. I did not know the difference before between a slave and an enslaved person throughout the country's history. I also gained insight into Washington's teeth and how he died. Overall, the trip to Mt. Vernon was very insightful.

Our tour guide Dion was very knowledgeable and good storytelling skills. He pointed out interesting historical sites, kept the group together, and provided clear instructions.

Very disappointing and unsafe. Would absolutely not recommend. 1) Tour description doesn’t match reality. Description says 4 hours at Mount Vernon. We weren’t even there a full 3. Got there at 11:30, left before 2:30. Tour felt very rushed. We had very little time to see the mansion and the grounds. In addition to the time, no where in the tour description does it say that food and drink are not permitted on the bus. We had both food and drink with us and were told to chug our brand new Starbucks order before we could board. It’s over 100 degrees in DC with extremely high humidity and not being able to eat or drink in this weather is dangerous. Our son chugged his cold Starbucks drink and then naturally needed to use the restroom. There’s no restrooms on the bus and we were told the first stop would be Mount Vernon in 35 minutes. Instead they did the Old Town Alexandria tour first and the first stop was almost an hour later so our son nearly had an accident waiting for a bathroom. My wife had to be seen by the Mount Vernon medics as she nearly had a heat stroke. They’ve got people crammed into lines waiting outside in sweltering heat and humidity. Nothing has AC on the house grounds except the mansion in *some* rooms and with an ever revolving open door, it wasn’t that cool inside and worse claustrophobic with the sheer number of hot bodies crammed into small spaces. As a result of my wife being attended to by the medics we saw very little of Mount Vernon. After seeing the medics we went to the cafe to get food as at this point it’s nearly 2 pm with no food or drink (other than a small bottled water provided) that was supposed to hold us over from morning in extreme weather?! 2) In addition, the windshield of the bus had a huge crack across the front, the driver braked hard and at one point hit a pothole and literally sent people airborne (myself and my kids included). And the AC was mediocre at best in the bus. It was very stuffy. In closing, the tour was not 4 hours at Mount Vernon— it was very much rushed and shorter than described. We were withheld from having food or drink in extreme weather for over 4 hours and the condition of the bus was unsafe and uncomfortable.
