Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable being a history teacher in he's early life. There was a revolutionary war reenactment the day we went, which added to the fun. We would visit again.

No speaker system and road noise. I would suggest looking for a tour company with higher quality transportation.

Paid $80 essentially for a bus ride to Alexandria and admission into Mt. Vernon. Because if traffic and narrow streets its was difficult for the driver to drive and talk at the same time. Mt. Vernon is a self guided tour. The mansion was packed and their guides moved everyone through quickly without telling us what we were looking at. A better tour choice is simply the free virtual on line tour on the Mt. Vernon website.Great time. Loved our guide Spending time with Martha Washington was fun. I wish I spent more time in museum
