Rejseplan
Vores rejseguide vil tale om historien og fakta relateret til Washington Monument. Washington-monumentet, designet af Robert Mills og til sidst færdiggjort af Thomas Casey og US Army Corps of Engineers, ærer og mindes George Washington i centrum af landets hovedstad. Strukturen blev færdiggjort i to faser af byggeriet, en privat (1848-1854) og en offentlig (1876-1884). Bygget i form af en egyptisk obelisk, der fremkalder tidløsheden i gamle civilisationer, legemliggør Washington-monumentet den ærefrygt, respekt og taknemmelighed, som nationen følte for sin vigtigste grundlægger. Da det var færdigt, var Washington-monumentet den højeste bygning i verden på 555 fod, 5-1/8 tommer.
Vores rejseguide vil tale om historien og fakta relateret til George Washington Parkway. George Washington Memorial Parkway, i daglig tale G.W. Parkway, er en 25 kilometer lang parkvej, der løber langs den sydlige bred af Potomac-floden fra Mount Vernon, Virginia, nordvest til McLean, Virginia, og vedligeholdes af National Park Service.
Vores rejseleder vil fortælle om huset, når du går forbi det. Robert E. Lee Boyhood Home er et historisk hus på 607 Oronoco Street, Alexandria, Virginia. Det tjente i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet som hjemsted for Anne Hill Carter Lee og hendes familie, inklusive den eponyme Robert. Det skal ikke forveksles med Lee-Fendall House, som ligger på 614 Oronoco St.
Vores rejseguide vil tale om det, mens du krydser King Street i Old Alexandria. George Washington Masonic National Memorial er en frimurerbygning og et mindesmærke placeret i Alexandria, Virginia, uden for Washington, D.C. Det er dedikeret til minde om George Washington, USA's første præsident og en frimurer. Tårnet er udformet efter det gamle fyrtårn i Alexandria i Egypten. Mindehallen Besøgende går ind i Memorial Hall gennem den massive portico, der er symbolsk for indgangene til antikke græske og romerske templer. På hver side af portikoen er tavler indgraveret med passager fra Washingtons korrespondance, som afspejler hans dybe respekt for frimurerbroderskabet. Memorial Hall har otte grønne granitsøjler, der er 40 fod høje og mere end fire fod brede. Salen har et udsøgt marmorgulv og to storslåede vægmalerier malet af Bro. Allyn Cox.
Vores rejseguide vil tale om det, mens du går forbi det. Christ Church er en episkopal kirke beliggende på 118 North Washington Street i Alexandria, Virginia. Bygningen blev bygget som hovedkirken i Church of Englands Fairfax Parish og blev designet af oberst James Wren, en efterkommer af Sir Christopher Wren. For at finansiere opførelsen af kirken rejste Fairfax Vestry 31.186 pund Oronoco-tobak fra sognebørn. Byggeriet begyndte i 1765 under ledelse af James Parsons. Efter fire år var kirken stadig ufærdig. Sakristien fritog hr. Parsons fra hans pligter som tilsynsførende for byggeriet. John Carlyle accepterede stillingen og afleverede nøglerne til den færdige bygning til saleriet i februar 1773.
Du vil gå gennem plantagen i George Washington og gå forbi de små bygninger omkring palæet. Du besøger graven til George Washington og Martha Washington og flere af stederne i den mest berømte ejendom i USA. Sejrrig general fra den amerikanske revolution, USA's første præsident, succesfuld planter og iværksætter. Udforsk George Washingtons liv og arv. Mount Vernon er et amerikansk vartegn og tidligere plantage for George Washington, USA's første præsident, og hans kone, Martha. Godset ligger på bredden af Potomac-floden i Fairfax County, Virginia, nær Alexandria, overfor Prince George's County, Maryland.

The theater show is fabulous with special effects! Great walking tour that is informative and the revolutionary war reenactment is fabulous. Really need all day to take it all in.
The Mount Vernon tour was wonderful but the driver was ignorant. No air in the van and why he'd bring up the riot if January 6th as an insurrection nobody responded to or wanted to hear about. How about get your facts straight if you're going to bring up politics?
Beautiful place and lots of information
Our tour guide was amazing. He was knowledgeable and interesting. And it was his birthday!! Everything was great!
Very nice but had to wait a long time to see inside house. We had a 2:20 ticket but took over an hour of waiting to see inside of house. Our driver was friendly and informative
Informative driver gave a good commentary on both legs of the journey to and from Mount Vernon. Estate visit is self audio guide (which is good) as is the film in the main auditorium. The Alexandria tour is a bus ride through the town, with historical commentary. If you want to really see Alexandria, I would get the metro
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Mount Vernon & Old Alexandria and found the driver’s commentary informative on both legs of the journey.

We truly appreciate you choosing Zohery Tours and hope to welcome you again on a future visit to Washington, DC.
I would not go to this tour until they are done with the construction/ repairs of the George Washington Mansion. Had I known they were working on the house with a few rooms closed, I would not have paid $200.00 for this tour!
Horrible. 1. The house was closed for renovations. No notice of closure at the viator site. I Wasted 5 bourse of precious time in DC. 2. There was no tour of Alexander. The driver raced tho the road. . Saddly He was not very knowledgeable the worse aviator trip I have ever taken
Great bus ride knowledgeable driver. Worth booking the Alexandra add on. Even though Mt vetnon has contrition at this time you still see a lot with the guided tour
Do not go on this tour. The Mansion is under renovations and you can only see one room for a few minutes. The driver was aggressive and rude, demanding a tip 'with a zero on the end of the note' before we got off the bus. The tickets are $20 to get in. This is essentially an absolutely ripped off drive. The tour operators never told us we couldn't view the mansion as it was under renovation. The driver maintained he knew nothing about it, even though he does the tour twice a day. He demanded to know where all passengers were going that evening in order to try to get us to buy another tour that night in the city. It was awkward and rude. I have requested a refund. Get an uber or a bus and go yourself. This is an absolute rip off and the service promised was not delivered. The mansion will be ready in 2026. Don't waste your time or money unless you are happy not to see the main attraction. Absolutely do not pay for this 'tour' which is essentially a trip in a van to the location and then a pick up. Worst tour I've ever been on and most disgusting tour guide I've ever come across.
