Perfect trip. Took this tour with my 10 year old granddaughter.

Would not recommend this trip. Was not worth the price.

Loved this tour! It was amazing to see the grounds Washington once passed through. I wish we would have left more time for the museum as we only had about 45 min or so before we had to leave. We easily could have spend two hours there. Great tour and I would highly recommend :

Was a poor experience.. Mt Vernon and Old Town Alexandria were great but the drivers attitude made the whole experience negative.

I learned so much new information about George Washington and his family. I loved being able to explore his estate I will certainly go again.

This was a great tour. It was just long enough to see everything and not too long where your bored. Mt Vernon was really neat to see. Lots of sights and history. I really like stopping at the church where George Washington went and see how it hadn’t changed much from his time. Would recommend

Mount Vernon was great. Getting there and back was just ok. Could have been much better.

The Mt. Vernon tour (conducted by Mt. Vernon employees) was fantastic! However, our driver/guide to and from Mt. Vernon was unprofessional. We were sent into an old bar, being given the impression it was part of the tour, while he used the bathroom. While he was gone the manager kicked out our group

Great tour. In Alexandria, the tour of Christ Church really brings the colonial days to life. The drive to Mt. Vernon is chalk full of history. At Mt. Vernon, you walk around on your own, getting the freedom to explore all of the plantation. This is a must do DC tour when you are there.

This road trip was educational and enjoyable._br/_ We were rushed somewhat in our stay at Mt. Vernon in that the driver was trying to stick to a 3 p.m. return to DC time schedule. But overall we are very happy with the Mt. Vernon and Alexandria road trip. _br/_ We highly recommend it to others seeking to see historic sites in the DC area.

The experience of walking in our forefathers footsteps was awesome but the staff at Mount Vernon were less than friendly and we felt we were annoying them most of the time especially if we asked a question. We were shuttled through like cattle and we went in the off season! We also thought we were going on the tour with a group guide and not just getting dropped off.

I love Mt. Vernon. It is a gorgeous setting. It is also a peek into the daily life of the well-off back in the day. Very informative. The grounds are beautiful to walk and take in. Our driver, Paul, took great care of us and made sure we didn't miss a thing. Very knowledgeable. Great experience.

Just a short drive from Washington, so you don't have to spend much of the tour on the bus. Mount Vernon is a very interesting site in a beautiful location. The guided visit to the mansion was great. You also get to visit the slave quarters and Washington's tomb on your own. The museum is also great. Would have liked some free time or photo stops in Alexandria, most of the time there is spent on a guided tour of the church.

Brilliant visit, with an engaging and helpful driver.
Review by: Susan N, December 2017
It was nice to not have to drive from Arlington to Mount Vernon, but that was pretty much what the tour was. The driver was very polite and knowledgeable and he drove us through Old Alexandria and pointed out several historical structures but then straight to Mount Vernon. Tickets to Mount Vernon were purchased for 19.00 for seniors and we were left for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours to see Mount Vernon. We did not feel we had enough time to see the estate and the museum thoroughly. In hindsight, our party of 4 could have gotten an Uber and paid our on entrance fee and come out better less than half. Less money spent with more flexible time allowed. But, the guide/ driver on the bus was very nice and an excellent driver.

Wonderful. So worth doing this tour...
Review by: Jeffrey C, October 2017
I was expecting the driver to give historical information during the drive and was very disappointed he didn't. The first part of the trip to Old Alexandria was ok and he gave some information. However, the ride to Mt Vernon and ride back was silent. I have been on many tours and this was by far one of the worst. Based on prior reviews, I suggested this tour to four other couples and am embarrassed they spent the money and were so disappointed.
