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.

It's a very beautiful place! It is worth visiting and prepare a whole day to enjoy the entire property. There's a lot to see. On site there is a dining room where you can eat sandwiches and have something to drink. There are also souvenir shops. The house can be visited. The ticket costs $28.00. I found it too expensive! We went there by subway to Huntington Station and then we took bus 101, which leaves us in front of the venue. From Washington to Mount Vernon we take about an hour.
