    So interesting to learn about everything that Washington was part of. Martha was a badass too, and not the typical woman of her time

    The Mount Vernon Tour was AMAZING!!! The cruise along the Potomac River was so relaxing & beautiful and the tour itself was very informative; our tour guide, Ray M., was attentive, knowledgeable and a real delight in every way! The only thing that was “just okay” was the lunch ticket; it was very limiting regarding what you could get. A special treat of the tour was hearing the flutist/drummer on the Mount Vernon lawn … all so very special!

    Beautiful trip down the Potomac to Mount Vernon. Our guide was terrific guiding us through the property and back to DC. Lunch in the Visitor Center was a nice break from the summer humidity.

    JJANA was excellent tour guide, cruise was very nice and MTVernon grounds and museum were beautiful. However the only drawback was the mansion tour run by Mt Vernon was not great. We were packed, very packed into the mansion with very little time to see the room. This was very disappointing
