Private car trip with Ken was one of the best tours I’ve done. We were 5 adults and comfortable in his SUV. Ken is very knowledgeable on George Washington and gives history on the drive down. He walks you through all the grounds and gave a preview of the house tour before which was good as he told us a lot more. Did not realize the value for this tour- awesome. You see the grounds including his tomb, house tour , and then a walk through a very detailed Washington museum. Being our first time in area Ken also suggested Old Town Alexandria , gave us suggestions and dropped us off in town. Highly, highly recommended!!!!

Thanks for the great review, Todd. I never tire of introducing Mount Vernon to visitors for the first time. Everyone is amazed at how much here is to see and do here.

My husband and I used Amtrak to visit Alexandria. Not having a car, I was thinking we might save Mt Vernon for another time. On a whim I scheduled with Ken who picked us up at our Alexandria Hotel and provided a half day Mount Vernon Tour. I had no idea what I was missing just visiting a historic sight, listening to the guides and reading posted information. The tour was very complete and relaxed. I never realized that the grounds of Mt Vernon were so extensive. I do read and enjoy history, Ken's information was accurate and as I am a thirty year educator I considered it very well presented. The tour was well worth the price. Ken agreed to a small detour on our way back into Alexandria to the Jones Point Light House. It is a small river light on the Potomac in Jones Point Park. Ken also gave us a recommendation for Ada's on the River. We had an excellent lunch at Ada's the next day.

This was a very fun, interesting and easy to tour Mt. Vernon. Wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We now know so much more about the Washingtons than we did before. It was very moving to see where history actually happened. Highly recommend. Kathy

I appreciate the great review! I'm glad I was able to help you learn more about the Washingtons. I never tire of showing visitors George Washington's amazing estate. I agree, visiting the mansion and standing in front of his tomb are truly moving experiences.
