Lots to see, not enough time. - Mount Vernon was beautiful but there wasn’t enough time to explore it. Your main office kept interrupting our guide.

The mansion - Bobby our tour guide was very friendly and entertaining during the long ride to the mansion
It was a very hot day which made walking the grounds difficult

Take an Uber Instead - It was fun to visit Mount Vernon, but this experience could be done very easily and much cheaper by hiring an Uber. The excursion did include tickets to Mt Vernon and to the mansion, but our driver just stood in line to purchase these and handed them to us which we could have done for ourselves. The vehicle also didn't seem to be in very good shape. The driver was polite and gave us some information, but definitely not worth what we paid.

What to do at Mount Vernon when it is closed but your company says it will pick you up 30 minutes after it closed. - Did not feel safe in the vehicle. Tour operator and said done at 4:30 instead it was 5:45 making us late to next to next tour.

Not worth the price - My husband and I spent $200 on tickets to tour MT Vernon. It’s $60 to buy them on the website or there. It’s not what I thought it was. They just give you a ride and you walk around on your own. I could have ubered from my hotel for $25. Do yourself a favor and Uber yourself and buy tickets at MT Vernon and save yourself $70-$80.

Use an uber instead. - This trip was for myself and my brother. He had been before but I had not. I always like to book tours so I can hear all the info. that you can't get if you are on your own so I booked the tour. We first had one tour guide (can't remember his name) who did tell us a little bit but wasn't very entertaining. He told us we would have a different guide on the way back. They dropped us off for us to be on our own and decided to have us meet earlier than was scheduled. On the way back our tour guide was Bobby and he was awful. He pointed out things like new road construction and was just rude. This tour was basically just an uber ride to mount vernon and was a waste of money.
