    Our driver Bobby was gregarious and knowledgeable. We had plenty of time to see Mount Vernon. The house is currently undergoing renovations and maintenance but we still saw all the rooms. The view from the back porch is remarkable. We saw the old tomb, the newer tomb, but I think the lost moving was the burial ground for the enslaved people of Mount Vernon. The graves are not marked but a number of them have been outlined with string and people are leaving painted rocks to commemorate the dead. Very touching. The gift shop is huge with very good selections of many different types of quality items. The restaurant, like the other museum restaurants we went to in DC is very average. The cheeseburger was - I’m not sure what it was. Icky. not enough gluten free options, although they offer a gf bun. I didn’t feel confident in their cross contamination protocol. They have a variety of bottled drinks, chips, desserts, etc. You won’t starve, but it’s mediocre and overpriced. Still worth a trip to see this important historical landmark.

    Mr Vernon and the museum are a beautiful tribute to our first president. The house has visitor guides in each room to help you discover and learn.

    Well, this was a lesson learned and has me rethinking Viator for Alaska and Italy. Reviews complained about a bus with no air. That is still the case for the bus we had. The driver sat up the road until 11am, we saw him for 20 minutes. Fair enough. But he knew the air didn’t work for the passengers. It was decent where he sat. When we loaded and a lady said the bus was hot he told her it was because the door had been open to let us on. All of about 1 minute. We knew it wasn’t from that. Thankfully I had the presence of mind to realize a few Minutes after being dropped off that we have other options. I emailed customer service and told them we would not be on the return trip. One 45 minute 90 degree (outside) trip was enough. We paid for an Uber back. The destination is nice. That’s bus should not be in service. After all the reviews of the same complaint, it bothers me that Viator still offers this tour. I may not be as lucky to have an Uber option for my next two destinations. I’m now going to go read all the reviews for our upcoming tours and learn from this lesson.
