Mount Vernon - This is Not the time to visit Mr Vernon! It’s going through a full renovation and we were limited to seeing the house. What areas we were allowed was nice. The person impersonating Martha was incredible!
Our guide that drove us to Mr Vernon “Rick” was enjoyable and full of knowledge about Washington DC and surrounding areas.

The drive to Mount Vernon... - The drive to Mount Vernon was a short jaunt from Washington, DC, and I highly recommend it. Our driver did not use air conditioning, which was uncomfortable for those in the back. I expected the guide to give more Washington history and background, and he left us as soon as he deposited us in the theater. The price was steep for the quality of the van and guide.

Major renovations underway - Right now MtVernon is going through a major renovation. You could only really see 1 room of the home. This was a major disappointment. Our tour guide Robert did a good job and was very knowledgeable.

Disappointed - The grounds are nice. Unfortunately the house is being renovated and if we had known ahead of time we would have gone on another tour

1st Driver Robert very good. Hard to identify bus. Was looking for Viator sign. Bobbie 2nd driver thinks he is comedian. - About 2% of Mt Vernon home open to viewing. Wait until reconstruction completed. Reconstruction was noted in booking but was way more than what review said.

Disappointed - Although this trip is shown as a five hour trip, we only ended up having 3 hours at Mount Vernon and this is not enough time to see everything, saying that, due to renovations we could only see one room in the house and this is what we’d paid to see.
I feel this should be brought to attention in the trip details as it’s not a quick fix & will be ongoing for a long time.
The minibus we were travelling in had a number of broken seatbelts, not satisfactory in this day & age.
This trip was not cheap and we feel that we have not had value for money.
Very disappointed.

Don’t book this one - The driver/guide was very annoying. He badgered the other guests about details about the tour they took the day before for half the drive. The other half he pointed out road signs and let us know if we were in residential or commercial areas. Absolutely useless as a guide. Do not recommend this tour. Rent a car and drive yourself.

The driving was dangerous... - The driving was dangerous and aggressive. We did not care for the driver’s personality and he was late picking us up.
