Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour? Looking to bring my 10-year-old.

A: There’s no specific age limit for kids on this tour! Families often take their children along, and it can be a great educational experience for them. Just keep in mind that the tour involves some walking, especially at Mount Vernon, so make sure your 10-year-old is up for it. The driver is typically very accommodating too, which is a plus!

Q: What should we wear? Is it mainly outdoor walking?

A: Definitely go for comfortable shoes since you'll be doing a fair amount of walking, especially around the gardens at Mount Vernon. Dress in layers too; it can get chilly by the river in the morning but warms up later. Don't forget sunscreen if you’re going in the summer!

Q: Can we customize the tour? I’m really interested in seeing more of Alexandria.

A: Absolutely! The tour is designed to be flexible, so you can let the driver know your interests, and they’ll adjust the route accordingly. If you want to spend more time in Old Town Alexandria, just mention it when you start the tour. They’re usually great about accommodating requests!
