This tour would normally... - This tour would normally be awesome, but Mt Vernon is currently undergoing EXTENSIVE Renovations, the van door got stuck and wouldn't open for 10 mins after arriving and the speaker system was horrible, could barely make out the good info and history the driver was giving. Driver was great and not his fault the van was crappy.

Fun trip, Good guide, Bad-ish bus - Fun and informative. The bus itself needed some work. Bad shocks and some seats that wouldn’t sit up straight and a non working seat belt

Very disappointed - Tour driver was unprofessional; never introduced himself; voiced crass, offensive humor to the discomfort of more than a few passengers; and provided incorrect tour information once destination was reached. Unfortunately, the house at Mt. Vernon was under heavy renovation (we were unaware) and we saw nearly nothing. Discounted tickets would have been a nice choice.
