It was excellent. The tour guide was most informative and his recommendations about how to navigate Mt Vernon were most helpful. The motor coach was clean and very comfortable. The driver was a very safe and considerate driver.

Gina_M

While the tour guide was knowledgeable, his driving was horrible. The van needed shocks or something, we literally were thrown out of our seats. He also bought the tickets late and we were rushed in seeing Washingtons home! Not a good experience!

Roy_V

Nice day to travel outside DC. Robert was a good driver/guide. The day was interesting and not rushed. A good tour for families because of the open spaces and pretty grounds.

Lisa_Z

Beautiful day, everyone was interesting. The tour guide knew a lot about everything we saw along the way.

The guide we had on the day was amazing, he has a lot of knowledge of the history and shared it with us on the way there and back from Mount vernon. Mount Vernon did not disappoint!

It was raining, which made it hard to see some sites out of the tour bus, but Mt. Vernon was still educational. The 4D George Washington experience is a must see
