Great experience of learning US History - Robert was a fantastic driver from sharing historical things and pointing out monuments and info to and from mount Vernon to helping in and out of van. The Mt Vernon was most educational and a siteline to more of who Washington was and the character he had to his wife and the strong woman she was, to his leadership choosing the right people at the right time to get him to where he wanted to go.
Aristocrat, yet down to earth… literally 5 farms. A step father, a man not threatened by a strong woman, chosen for the job of President! it was a great thing to experience at least once.

Touring Mt. Vernon - With the exception of the house tour, touring Mt. Vernon was pretty much on our own. A lot of walking, but very interesting. The drive there was conducted by a man who gave commentary along the way. We learned a bit about the town of Arlington. His talk was quite interactive with the passengers which might be annoying to some. Overall, an interesting tour.

Excellent Tour to Take - Visiting Mount Vernon was one of the highlights of our trip to Washington, D.C. The estate is absolutely beautiful, well maintained, and rich in history, making it a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the area. Our bus driver was excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history of George Washington and his home. The entire experience was well organized, informative, and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and educational experience.

Mount Vernon - 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.

Half-day tour of Alexandria and DC, with a stop at Mount Vernon - 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.

The bus used was clean... - The bus used was clean however it rattled extensively on the road and the air conditioner was minimal. The guide was nice but at times hard to understand. Would recommend seeing the movies and the mansion as priority because you don't have enough time at the end to watch the movie.

It was a below average... - It was a below average experience with little amenities for $99, including the vehicle and misplaced driver comments. I would not recommend this Viator tour to most folks; the company did not even have my name for a reserved and paid for reservation.

Horrible experience - Extreme disappointed and angry. I was under the impression that the tour included a guide the entire time. We did not take the van because of driving in and when we meet the group it was give us the tickets we bought and sent us on are way. No information giving and no personal touch at all. We paid 90 per ticket for nothing. Should have just bought a ticket on site. May better price. Not even a mention of any history and no discount for not riding in the van. I would never recommend this tour to anyone.
