Guide Joey is fun! Memorable trip! Don't miss. - Joey our guide and Antonio our driver were amazingly fun. We really enjoyed the tour. The bus was comfortable and Joey guiding us with storytelling was fun. My husband had a bad knee so we wouldn't have been able to wander and stumble on things. Joey hit all of the highlights. It was a very memorable experience for us. George Washington is awe inspiring and we can't believe we made this trip and it should not be skipped if you're from out of town.

Great experience - Joey and Witney were amazing. Joey had incredible tips that if we had went by ourselves we would never known. The small van was super warm and the general visit was lovely. The vibe when you enter the house is amazing, knowing that he actually lived there it’s super cool. Unfortunately the complete house it’s not open until the 2026 and that made Joeys tips and knowledge very valuable. Thanks!

Informative - I enjoyed the tour and the guide was very informative, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time that the main house was not available for touring!

Nice day trip but would wait until 2026 when everything is again open fully to the public. - The main house was closed and we were only able to see one room. Our personal guide was a five star gal. The Mt Vernon slide show gal was very basic and flat. Nice gift shop.

Old town alexandra was boring only Mt Vernon was of interest - I would rate this higher if Mt Vernon home was fully open. It was not stated on website that 2/3 was being renovated disappointing
