    Michael_S, Apr 2026
    Everything went off as advertised. On time pick-up; very friendly and professional driver/guide; clean vehicle; very accommodating. Galen was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs.

    Mount Vernon was amazing...

    Christine_H, Apr 2026
    Mount Vernon was amazing and it was so nice to have a seamless travel experience. Our guide was a great communicator. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. My only feedback is that I felt the tour started too late in the day and I felt rushed through all the sites. We didn’t get to enjoy everything for as long as we would have liked. Overall a great day!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent tour experience. We are pleased to hear that Anthony, your guide, was great and helpful, and that the location met your expectations. However, we are sorry to learn that the timing of the tour did not allow you to fully enjoy all aspects of the experience as you had hoped. We would like to clarify that the time allocated for the West Canyon portion of the tour is 3.5 hours, as disclosed in the itinerary. We understand that the shuttle and dining queues were longer than anticipated, which unfortunately impacted your ability to fully enjoy the experience. Please note that these wait times are related to the management of the scenic area itself, rather than the operation of our tour. We have shared your feedback with the West Canyon management team to make them aware of the extended wait times guests are experiencing, in hopes that improvements can be made. We would like to kindly clarify that, per our records, the mansion entrance was included in your tour package. We also confirmed with the guide that the time spent at the location met the scheduled duration. However, we understand that the time may have felt insufficient for your personal preference. Your feedback helps us improve, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us.

    We had a wonderful...

    Gretchen_K, Mar 2026
    We had a wonderful personalized experience today with Alper. He gave us so much information along the drive about what we saw, gave us great tips for what to see while we were at Mount Vernon, and even gave us tips for the rest of our vacation. Would highly recommend.
