An Amazing Day in Mount Vernon - An Amazing Day at Mount Vernon. The driving tour included a drive thru Alexandria, pointing out historical interests, before heading to Mount Vernon. We really enjoyed the house and walking the beautiful grounds located with a view of the Potomac.

Mediocre at best - Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. His driving was a little on the erratic side, speeding up followed by braking - often. Two hours at Mount Vernon was not enough time to take it all in. The ride through Alexandria is very quick with little time to absorb the place. Overall average to below.

Lacked Luster - Loved Mount Vernon Felt the trip description was a bit misleading. This is merely a ride to and from mount vernon and includes tickets for the grounds and timed entry to the home. The guide drives you and talks about DC a bit, as well as old town Alexandria while driving through them. Didn’t help that our driver was sharp and bordered on rude. If you need just convenience of a ride and tickets this is your trip. If you want something more educational this is not that.

Faulty microphone - Charles was personable and seemed knowledgeable but his microphone did not work so we could not hear what he was saying in the back. So the four of us in the back seat missed most of his commentary. This isn’t right for the amount of money it cost.
