This entire tour was wonderful and Tyson ( Tour Guide ) was the best. If you get him on a future tour count yourself very lucky.

Our tour guide Faith was awesome. We enjoyed every aspect of the visit even though it rained on and off. Lunch was a great sandwich chips apple and cookie. We also met the baker at Mt Vernon who sold us an amazing loaf of warm bread. Thank you and we highly recommend this trip.

A terrific experience! Our tour guide Faith could not have been more gracious and knowledgeable. An historian by training, she made the past come alive with her storytelling ability and genuine interest in making the day both informative and fun! Walking in Washington’s footprints was an amazing experience. Highly recommended!

Great tour! Very well organized. Our tour guide took great care of us. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we felt like we had plenty of time to see everything. The boat ride was very enjoyable also - a bit cold up top, but plenty of room inside also. Even the bag lunch was good!

I’m glad we did this. The boat ride was good. Loved being first group on and off the boat. Our guide, Jana, was very personable and informative. Having breakfast and lunch was good, too. Highly recommend!

The tour was well-organized so attendees could concentrate on “seeing and learning”. Ryan was our guide and he was knowledgable, personable and fun! The river cruise was relaxing and enjoyable.
