The Korean Memorial was my favorite, but Tom did a great job with all of the monuments. Our friends had been on Tom's tour before but he added a different monument for them to see. His knowledge of everything concerning the monuments and the city made the tour special for all of us - two VA residents, one frequent visitor to DC and a newbie who had never visited DC before. We had such a great time we booked an additional tour with DC Military Tours & Tom.

Besides touring the grounds and the mansion we booked a National Treasure Tour, which takes you into the basement of the mansion and several outdoor spots, including the wharf, related to the movie. Our guide was Greg Reed who was VERY knowledgeable, and gave us so much more information than I’m sure he planned on. He was able to answer in depth, every single question our group had, plus lots of extra tidbits. Highly recommend you do not miss this portion of the tour.

What a great family outing! The people that we rented our bikes from were very organized and ready for us when we arrived. The bikes were good touring bikes, with cables and locks provided. We enjoyed the trip to Mount Vernon, despite the heat. A map of the trail, with some of the rougher places and changes in the trail marked, would have been really nice. Also, parking is really difficult, when going to Bike and Roll, so directions for parking would have been helpful on the website. It is truly located in an Alley. With the bikes and the admission to Mount Vernon, it was really a good value, for my family.
