Standing on the wide piazza of George Washington's Mount Vernon, the Potomac River stretches out below in a broad, glittering sweep that looks much as it did in the eighteenth century. The mansion's white-painted facade, formal gardens, and working farm create a vivid sense of the world Washington built and tended. George Washington's Mount Vernon rewards slow, attentive visits, where every outbuilding, slave memorial, and kitchen garden adds texture to the story of America's founding generation.

We almost had a bad experience…. A same day cancellation from the this company just about wrecked our trip! We waited until the last evening before we were to leave to take this night time tour!!!! PANIC! But we got another message saying all was going to happen and we were escorted by Christopher, a young 37 yo who knew his monuments well! We ended up being his only passengers which turned out great for us. I think he was a manager for this company and had to step up himself to drive us around. We enjoyed every minute of this tour! So grateful to Christopher for figuring it out for us. These monuments are truly a must see and really best at night. We were there 7-8-26… record breaking heat spell. We had the Thomas Jefferson monument all to ourselves. I’d recommend PPTT but maybe make sure it’s not the last thing you do, just in case a cancellation pops up!
