Deep dive and a beautiful tour - Our guide Louie was fantastic and very patient with some crabby young ones in our group ha ha. He gave us a very knowledgeable and warm tour of mount Vernon and gave us a much richer experience than if we had just gone on our own. Worth the investment for this tour and highly recommend Louie as a guide!

Very enjoyable and amazing experience at Mount Vernon - Very enjoyable and informative. Journal Tour was very accommodating and loved Frank our guide! We also booked the Private Washington DC Tour...100% recommended!

Amazing half day tour of Mt Vernon and Alexandria - This was an amazing tour with Louie as the tour guide. He was so informative. It was just the right balance of telling us about Mount Vernon and DC generally and leaving us to explore the beautiful estate on our own. Highly recommend Louie and this tour

Five Stars - Five Stars. Punctual. Informative. Frienndly. Right length for trip. Should offer water to hydrate. Guide is with you most on the time on-Site.

Best way to see Mount Vernon - We had Louie as our driver and guide the previous day for the Washington DC Grand Tour. He came prepared. It rained the day we did this tour and he had umbrellas for us. He was amazing. Very professional, knowledgeable, attentive and patient. Highly recommend! Thank you, Louie! Highly recommend this company!

Highly Recommend! - Absolutely worth it! From start to finish, our experience was fantastic. Communication after booking the tour was clear and timely. Received a confirmation text the day before the tour and again the next morning. Received a text from the tour guide when he was about 5 minutes away from the pick up location. Frank, our tour guide, was friendly and accommodating, and full of knowledge that truly enhanced our day and the entire experience. He walked us around and explained everything, answering questions along the way, yet also gave us space to explore on our own. He was flexible when we wanted to spend more/less time in certain areas, while making sure we stayed on track with enough time to visit Alexandria, which was important for us. Highly recommend this tour and this tour company!

Very Professional Tour Company - Great Day at Mt. Vernon - This is a really great tour company. Once I booked, I immediately received a confirmation and also received reminders regarding our upcoming tour. On the day of our tour, our tour guide texted me to let us know he had arrived, promptly and kindly greeted us and took us on the tour, as described. He chatted as we drove, giving us some background info on the area and Mt. Vernon so we were very well prepared once we arrived at the site. We were a little early for our scheduled house tour (they schedule and provide the tickets) so he walked us around the grounds pointing out other areas of interest. He also, promptly greeted us once we were done with the house tour to point out the gardens and other outbuildings. He then gave us a little free time to get something to eat and explore the museum. We then had a lovely drive through Old Town Alexandria on our way back to DC. It was very well run and professional. Louie, our tour guide, was, obviously, very experienced at his job. I almost wish, however, I had booked more time to explore some of Alexandria! We will have to do that on our next visit. For our family, this really was the perfect tour of Mt. Vernon. Thank you, Journal Tour!

Best tour, must see, don’t miss it! - This tour was a great experience, my two sisters and I took our mother to DC as a Mother’s Day present. My mother speaks a little bit of English, so we selected the tour in Spanish. Our guide, Luis, (Luigi) was outstanding. Through story telling he painted a beautiful portrait of what we were about to experience. We could only imagine the times, the vestments, the beautiful scenes at Mt. Vernon and we weren’t there yet! This experience is definitely one to remember, not only because of how rich in history, but also because I shared it with my mother and sisters. I will definitely repeat it with my children in a couple years and hope Luigi is still there. Thank you for the amazing experience.

Very nice private tour - Our guide picked us up directly from our D.C. hotel and we drove directly to Mt. Vernon. He was courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating to our desires. Even though we ran past allotted time, we were not rushed. Much better than a group tour.

Great Tour - Very professional driver full of facts about every place we visited. I would recommend this to anyone and would do it again in a heartbeat.
