From Washington DC Mount Vernon and Alexandria Private Day Tour
Roger_K, Sep 2026
Must do trip to Mount Vernon
wonderful private tour. Picked us up at our hotel, gave wonderful insights of Alexandria on our ay to Mount Vernon and also on the way back. Great ideas for navigating in Washington too. The visit to Mount Vernon was breathtaking in the view of the Potamic and the Mount Vernon compact information. It preceded and lead to the Constitution. The grounds and out buildings are wonderful too... including the livestock raised there. We bought some whiskey made with Washingtons original recipe and with grain raised there.

Great Family Ezperience!
We had a party of 7 (4 adults, 1 teen and 2 kids). The open air feel was perfect, great night. I have done many bus tours but the open top was worth it. Our driver and Elvis were great. We enjoyed seeing all the sites. Some walking required. Highly recommend!

Awesome! Don't know how you would visit these museums for the first time without a tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour interesting for all of us, especially my 12 & 9 year old granddaughters. She was very accommodating and understanding when we were a few minutes late due to road closures and fencing.

I can't recommend this tour enough! Scott and Ben did an amazing job showing us around; we found some incredible spots thanks to them, tried some amazing beer, and had a blast doing it. We did a second tour, and I'm sure we'll be back to do a third!!

10/10 beer tour
Had such a blast on the tour my friend and I joined the evening tour on the same day. Our first guide Scott was awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable about beer. For the second tour we had Ben who was very clearly a local and aside from being a very gracious host and guide, he was able to give us a lot of info about the area that only a local could know.

Our tour guide was great! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, flexible and very patient with my 3 elderly siblings who walk slowly. I have a very scholarly brother and cousin with whom he meshed well with their knowledge and endless questions! On top of that he had a great sense of humor and lots of positive energy.

From Washington DC Mount Vernon and Alexandria Private Day Tour
Dennise_N, Jul 2026
Love the Customization
We had done a previous private day tour with Rami. I had looked at other tours but none would get us the day we wanted. So I booked this tour and was super excited Rami joined us again. He picked us up on time at our hotel, we told him what we wanted out of the day, he said the day was ours. We drove to Mount Vernon and he dropped us off. I had already reserved our Mansion Time the night before. I didn’t know how much time to allow but I did 1.75 hours from hotel pickup. That gave us plenty of time to get to Mount Vernon and sightsee the grounds before getting in line to do the tour, and then we finished the rest of what we wanted to see and went to gift shop where we called Rami when we were ready. He picked us up right up front and took us to Old Alexandria where my goal was a little sightseeing but mostly shopping. We had just enough time to hit what we wanted and then grab gelato/sorbet before we were picked back up to head back to hotel. This day could have been a little longer for me to do all the things but I appreciated the opportunity to do it. We enjoyed the day not having to worry about driving, parking, and not knowing where to go. We loved getting to know Rami more and hearing the history of the area. And appreciated him giving us suggestions but letting the day completely being our own. Thanks again!

Foodie Tour great value
A great tour with plenty of food so well worth the money! We brought our stop three sandwiches home and ate them in the evening. They were still delicious! Jenn was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable of the history of Georgetown. There was a total of eight of us on the tour, including one kiddo. Jen was accommodating to a few special food requests! Unexpected rain led to Jen loaning us her umbrella which was so very much appreciated!
