Thinking about getting the Mount Vernon tour as a gift! Anyone done it?

I’m considering this guided tour at Mount Vernon for my dad’s birthday. The fact that it’s led by Dr. Yohannes Zeleke sounds amazing, and he loves history! Just trying to figure out if it's suitable for someone in their 60s, and how long the tour usually lasts. Any tips?

Just did the tour! It was incredible!

Wow, I just got back from the Mount Vernon tour, and I can't recommend it enough! Dr. Zeleke is so knowledgeable, and you really get a sense of the history. Plus, walking around the grounds is so peaceful. I think it would make a perfect gift for anyone who loves American history!
