Traveler reviews
Renovations
We only got to see one room due to renovations. The add said “some” sights won’t be available not the whole mansion. The estate was nice to see but to pay full price through Viator when I could’ve paid an adjusted price if I went on my own makes the experience a bit of a rip off
Living History
George Washington was an amazing man. He was the glue that caused all the colonies to join together and form a nation. He was successful as a soldier, general, politician, farmer and distiller of his own blend of rye whiskey at Mount Vernon. There was a lot of history to hear and see. The plantation was beautifully restored, and is still being updated and protected. The house tour included 2 floors and I was surprised at how small many of the rooms were. The hike down to his and Martha's tomb was worth it, just the thank him for his service!
Transportation was Awful, but Mount Vernon was Amazong
Only giving this 2 stars because of Mount Vernon, not because of this tour. Mount Vernon was amazing and 100% worth the visit. This tour however was less than amazing. The tour guide drove very dangerously. I understand that city driving can be more aggressive but there were numerous times where we almost got into accidents caused by the tour guide. The driver swerved into another lane and ran a car out of that lane and almost off the road. He also honked and almost hit pedestrians. He had serious road rage and spent half the time talking about how bad all the other drivers were and honking at least 25+ times. Further we did not go to all of the sites as advertised in the tour. This tour was terrible, and not worth the dangerous driving.
Very surreal and historical
Robert was a great guide and very knowledgeable about US history. I was the only one with him on the tour so it made it even better
Awsome Tour!
