We made reservations on Thursday for a Friday tour of Mount Vernon at 2 and they never showed up.No call, no text !! Waited almost 1 hour.Emailed,called but no return calls or acknowledgement of problem. If you have a choice use another company.
We don’t operate a 2pm anymore. Your party has also been refunded due to the confusion. Thanks for your review
Best experience in our trip. Beautiful scenery and tranquil views. My kids loved it. You cannot miss it.
Thanks we appreciate your family.
Mount Vernon was amazing. I just wish we had more time to see evrrything there. We missed so much because our time ran out. Bobby was an excellent driver and narrator of our our drive.
Thanks for your Support.
It should be titled "Half-day tour of Washington DC and Alexandria, with a stop at Mount Vernon." Our guide, Robert, was great on Alexandria and DC, but did not accompany us through Mt. Vernon.
Your party had a guided tour of the mansion.Thanks for your review and business
Bobby was our tour guide. He was very informative. He was constantly pointing things out for us to see the entire way. He was fun and answered any question we asked. We highly recommend Bobby as a tour guide! The entire experience was excellent.
Thanks for your business and review.
I booked the 9 am trip to Mt Vernon. That trip was cancelled because they did not have enough people. I cancelled rather than taking the 11 am that was offered due to other plans. I am awaiting my full refund.
Point of correction .The 9am tour is no longer in operation and you have been FULLY REFUNDED.
We could have spent all day! The house 🏠 s very interesting and the grounds even more so. Wish we could have gotten over to the distillery, but didn’t, and only had time to do a quick walk through of the museum. We’ll be back! We really appreciated the stop at Christ Church in Alexandria - good addition!
Van drive seemed a bit longer than it should take. Guide did offer some historic information, he was friendly. Definitely not enough time at Mount Vernon.
Thanks for your review
Driver was great. Very knowledgable and helpful. He made the drive very pleasant. The time allowed at mt Vernon was perfect.
