This tour was really well done. Our guide was knowledgable and informative, and she was willing to adjust our time to focus on our main interests, which were the gardens and the highlights of the house. We got to go all the way upstairs in the house, which is closed to regular visitors, and we got to lay a wreath right on George Washington's tomb! Mount Vernon is definitely a must see, although you will need to be prepared for lots of school children, especially inside the house. The private guide helps you to navigate this crowd and expands on the commentary by the regular guides inside the house. This was definitely a highlight of our wonderful weekend in DC.

This was the best private tour ever! John Marshall was our guide and he was intelligent and you could see that he loved his job. When we use Viator again for DC, we would love to have John.

The guided tour by Marie was the highlight of the trip to DC. The tour was interesting, informative and paced well for the content and the temperature/terrain. Another plus was the ability to secure expedited access to the mansion. The tour sparked our interest in the Washington Family and in colonial American History. I wish we had 2 days -we could have easily filled 2 days. We missed the Grist Mill and Museum.
