This is the only trip that doesn't force you to have an 8:00 AM start time. We spent plenty of time in Mount Vernon to see everything we should have seen. Rob is one of the absolutely most knowledgeable DC tour guides anyone could find. He is also well-traveled which gives him a cutting edge above all others. He gave a lot of tidbits about the sites we past all throughout the bus ride which made the trip very pleasant and passed the time without even realizing it. He even provided bottled water if we needed it. Great trip! Great Guy! Great Guide!
