The air-conditioning in the van driving us to Mount Vernon was not working well and it was very hot. Once you get to Mount Vernon, you’re on your own, so it depends on the crowds. We had about three hours at Mount Vernon, which was really not enough because there’s lots to see.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that the unexpected air conditioning issue affected your comfort on the drive to Mount Vernon. We understand that many guests would enjoy having more time to explore the estate. Our itinerary is carefully planned to include transportation and sightseeing within the scheduled tour duration, but we appreciate your comments and will share them with our operations team. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future.
I am currently on the bus to the Mt Vernon. I’m sweating in the back seat. No A/C back here and the seat is bumpy. I am dripping with sweat.
Thank you for letting us know and sorry for any inconvenience
Don’t miss the home of George and Martha Washington. So much great information to learn here. The walk to his tomb and the Potomac River were beautiful. Martha’s house garden was amazing! All the animals were just a reminder of how special the place really was to them.
Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed your visit. We hope your next trip to DC includes another tour with us! Malaak.
