Lots to see, not enough time. - Mount Vernon was beautiful but there wasn’t enough time to explore it. Your main office kept interrupting our guide.

Mt Vernon from Washington DC - Nice day to travel outside DC. Robert was a good driver/guide. The day was interesting and not rushed. A good tour for families because of the open spaces and pretty grounds.

What to do at Mount Vernon when it is closed but your company says it will pick you up 30 minutes after it closed. - Did not feel safe in the vehicle. Tour operator and said done at 4:30 instead it was 5:45 making us late to next to next tour.

Not worth the price - My husband and I spent $200 on tickets to tour MT Vernon. It’s $60 to buy them on the website or there. It’s not what I thought it was. They just give you a ride and you walk around on your own. I could have ubered from my hotel for $25. Do yourself a favor and Uber yourself and buy tickets at MT Vernon and save yourself $70-$80.

Trip to mt Vernon! - While the tour guide was knowledgeable, his driving was horrible. The van needed shocks or something, we literally were thrown out of our seats. He also bought the tickets late and we were rushed in seeing Washingtons home! Not a good experience!

Use an uber instead. - This trip was for myself and my brother. He had been before but I had not. I always like to book tours so I can hear all the info. that you can't get if you are on your own so I booked the tour. We first had one tour guide (can't remember his name) who did tell us a little bit but wasn't very entertaining. He told us we would have a different guide on the way back. They dropped us off for us to be on our own and decided to have us meet earlier than was scheduled. On the way back our tour guide was Bobby and he was awful. He pointed out things like new road construction and was just rude. This tour was basically just an uber ride to mount vernon and was a waste of money.
