Though had visited there several times before attended the after hours event for members. Free to do what desired. Walked the grounds by myself without the crowds. Then relaxed on the chairs at the rear of the mansion looking at the river. The mansion and museum tours were great as usual. .

Truly the Highlight of our Weekend in DC!
I can't say enough good things about this tour! Our guide, Jared, was truly the best! My sister and I were traveling with our 82-year-old father, and Jared did everything in his power to make things easier on our father--even suggesting a golf cart ride back to the Mount Vernon visitor's center after touring the grounds on foot. His kindness, patience, and accommodating nature were truly a blessing to us! Additionally, Jared is very knowledgeable about the history of D.C., Mount Vernon, and our country, and he is an excellent communicator. He went well above and beyond--not just for our family, but for the entire tour group. I give this tour my highest recommendation!

Jared was Amazing and he went over and above during the entire tour. He is a wealth of knowledge!! If not for him I would have not been able to take the tour! I walk with a walker and when we went to Mt. Vernon he got a manual wheelchair and pushed me through the entire tour. He allowed me to stay in the van when others went on some of the areas that I couldn’t have walked. My friend took pictures for me so when I couldn’t participate because of the walking she got the pictures for me to be able to experience. I cannot express how thankful I am for him providing an excellent trip.
