Customer Reviews
We were not very clear on what was included in each day so we had some repetttion with the night tour. We tried to do too much in the 3 days we were there and it was over 100 degrees.

loved the tour...very informative....inpsite of the fact that the driver talked too fast when we got to embassy row..our heads were moving from left & rightglancing at the different embassies...it was great..little trivia's on the way....kept us up on our history as well as tidbits on what you normally do not read on some history books...very nice and informative..thank you ...surely recommended it to some local maryland friends when they have other friends come over & visit..beats parking around the area of the smithsonian and walking ..since parking is on a limited time basis then it tends to be a walk....

-pia behm, bedford hts, OH
The only major disappointment was failing to get into Mount Vernon. I 'lined up' to get into the estate, but feel it is unfair to have to waste one hour out of three 'lining up' again to visit the mansion. Obviously all paid visitors want to visit the mansion, so a time should be allocated as in Monticello.
