Old Town, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Private Tour

Overview

Visit the colorful and historic Old Town Alexandria and the historic former home of George Washington on this unmissable private tour of the two.

Walk in the footsteps of Washington with this sensational five-hour excursion from the capital. You’ll be picked up in a luxurious, climate-controlled vehicle while your guide explains the significance of some of the city’s most recognizable monuments. A short drive brings you to the candy-colored architecture of Alexandria, where you can take a tour of some monuments notable to the former president – including the Masonic Temple and Christ Church.

Arguably the birthplace of the city itself, George Washington’s former estate is located just 13 miles from the capital’s center. The second half of this tour involves an in-depth foray through the mansion, with entrance tickets to the grounds and gardens included.

What a lovely fall day for a tour of Mount Vernon. Small group with other guides taking in the extra tour , Nick was so personable, making the drive filled with information while tossing in a few punny jokes. Made the drive seem short , and he maximized our time by getting the house tour early (no lines today!) leaving more time for a yummy lunch and shopping. The two movies are a must. Beautiful day out. The plus was, USA Guided tours pick up and drop off at Wyndham hotels!!! I highly recommend this tour and the company.

Nick is a true professional. We are glad he made your experience great! Regarding Wyndham, please thank your concierge and tell them how much you liked the tour - the shuttle is not offered to all our guests, just those through concierge partners - truly a special gift!
