This tour was so worth it! - Dion was an amazing and engaging guide. We got so much more than a tour of Mount Vernon - we got a history of the area of Alexandria, our first president and his complicated life, and of Washington DC itself. We enjoyed this tour tremendously. If you can do private, I will always recommend it. You have time to do the things you want and a person like Dion to make it happen.

Sunday at Mount Vernon - What a lovely fall day for a tour of Mount Vernon. Small group with other guides taking in the extra tour , Nick was so personable, making the drive filled with information while tossing in a few punny jokes. Made the drive seem short , and he maximized our time by getting the house tour early (no lines today!) leaving more time for a yummy lunch and shopping. The two movies are a must. Beautiful day out. The plus was, USA Guided tours pick up and drop off at Wyndham hotels!!! I highly recommend this tour and the company.

Great private tour! - Christopher was awesome! We booked a 5 hour tour of Alexandria and Mt Vernon. We are an active family and Christopher quickly adapted when we told him we’d like to also add Arlington to our itinerary. We saw it all in 5 hours. He put us right in the right place at the tomb of the unknown soldier to have the best view of the guard inspection. We really enjoyed our time with him. It was a great day!

Another Great Tour with USA Guided Tours - This was our second tour with USA Guided Tours in DC and it was great. It was so much fun to learn more about George and Martha and visit Mount Vernon. Joey was a great tour guide and stayed with us through the whole tour, even through the mansion. I loved listening to her stories.

Mt. Vernon - Chris was a great host and tour guide. He was a walking encyclopedia! We loved the sights of DC, Alexandria and touring Mt. Vernon. We were a little disappointed by the construction at Mt. Vernon. Perhaps the tour of the home will improve once the construction is completed! Your description of the tour said we would see the “Masonic Memorial dedicated to the First President”. But when I asked the guide, he said we would not be going there!! I was at the Masonic Memorial 51 years ago and really wanted to see it again! Big Disappointment!!☹️

Beware USA Tours -- poor planning & customer service - Beware before you book! USA Tours left us high and dry ... cancelling at the last minute with no other options. USA Tours cancelled our booked private tour 2 days prior and offered NO APOLOGY in the notification text or when I phoned. Even when I pointed that out to the operator, she still did not offer an apology or any alternate date or option. The notification text and operator claimed they could not run the tour because of the Cherry Blossom Race route -- as if that huge event had popped up out of no where. In reality, that race route had been posted months in advance. And cancelling didn't seem necessary since the race route and related street closures did not run between the pickup location and Mount Vernon at all. They could have first polled the small group to determine if we could arrive via subway or otherwise could reach the meeting location. There's a subway stop near the meeting location == so customers could still access the pickup location. I planned this trip to DC a year in advance specifically to go to Mount Vernon during cherry blossom season. And I planned all other activities around this booked USA tour. It was to be the centerpiece of our whole trip -- a lifelong bucket list item.. Since it was during peak tourist season in DC, all other Mt Vernon tours with decent ratings were sold out, so I could not change dates of Mt Vernon tour or other activities. USA Tours was so unhelpful and unapologetic.
