Unacceptable bus condition: no AC from the beginning
Angela_P, Apr 2024
Our tour guide was good and knowledgeable and Mount Vernon was beautiful. However the transportuon was less than ideal. The bus was dirty (I found used Kleenex on my seat), and the worst part was that the bus AC did not work, making the trip was extremely uncomfortable. The house tour felt very rushed as the guides would not generally wait until everyone was in the room to start the the explanation. A big disappointment.
Great

Fun Guide

Our guide was excellent. He had many great stories and made the trip fun and interesting. Mount Vernon is a fascinating place to visit. It is beautifully restored.
Historically beautiful

The thought of being in the very house our first president lived and died in was unimaginable. Being able to touch the very bannister he and so many others touched was like being transported in time. Truly awesome!!
