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. .

Worth the money.
Wonderful tour. A great way to visit Arlington and Mt. Vernon in one day. Picked up from our hotel in DC. 9am, returned to hotel 4pm. Definitely worth seeing if you’re in DC. Great for couples and families with kids also. Very convenient, didn’t need to schedule transportation or purchase tour tickets, everything is included with this tour. Our guide Brittney was fantastic. She has a pleasant demeanor and knowledgeable. A great way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

Pedicab Sightseeing Tour on the National Mall

250th Fireworks; a one-in-a-lifetime experience,
I communicated with Chris, owner and driver, severral times before we booked. It proved to be very beneficial. Chris was quite prompt about replying to my emails/texts. Tour ended up being quite costly as the fireworks didn't start until after the president was done talking, so started at midnight! It was worth it though. We think Chris did a very good job positioning the pedicab in an excellent location for seeing the fireworks and taking pictures. The seats were very comfortable. We did have to ask Chris a couple times to go slower as the bumps were alittle difficult for us to handle. Other than than, very satisfied. We wouldn't have hired his company had they not been able to come directly to our hotel.

Private Mount Vernon and Arlington National Cemetery Tour
James_B, Jul 2026
Great experience!
Our guide Brittany made the experience first class right from the beginning. Pick up right at our hotel and then a quick stop at Walgreens to get some essentials. We were visiting during the busiest ever weekend for DC…4th of July for the 250th during an unprecedented heat wave. We were dropped off right at the door or entry to all places visited making it easy. She also took the time to help me find a grave at Arlington that was important to me as a Marine Veteran, John Basilone. The entire experience felt very VIP and made a visit during a very busy and hot time a joy. You won’t regret this decision and will feel better when you see the crowds that don’t have the benefit of a VIP guide.

Informative and enjoyable tour
This is a great tour and took us to parts of DC that are less traveled (Georgetown, National Cathedral, etc). Driving around the city and especially to stops that are harder to walk to made for a great experience. Our guide was excellent giving us information that was new to us and easy to converse with.
