We went on the Potomac River Cruise and Sightseeing tour on 10/13. The weather was perfect and our tour was great. Kris the driver and James the tour guide were excellent. I will recommend this company to my family and friends.

I don’t even know where to beginning, the tour started late and we were treated as if we were children on a school trip. Everything took forever to get done. We could barely hear our guide throughout the tour and he would stand and talk in the sun. The lunch break we had made it worst everywhere needed a reservation to eat and was expensive. Last but not least the boat tour was the exact information as the bus tour. What a waste of money and time.

This was a great one day tour of DC. We got a sense of where things were (for visits later in the week) and checked a few things off our list. The afternoon, with time for lunch and the river cruise was a an enjoyable, relaxing way to end the day. Plus we got to see a few more things. Tyrone (our tour guide) is a long time DC resident. He was knowledgeable, funny and kept us on time. We thought this was a perfect introduction to our time in DC

Rosemarie_M

We had a great time. Tyron was super knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Chris was a great driver and very pleasant. We saw so much on this tour and would have never been able to see as much of DC on our own. I recommend this to anyone visiting the Capital City.

Beginning and End need some experience design. We bailed at the White House (last official stop. Tour guide was great! Bus driver had no personality. Would have been nice to see the Supreme Court, even if just a drive by. Also, suggest having a Venmo or other digital wallet option for tipping.

Awesome Tour! Visited D.C. from Cleveland with my mom. Tour guide Sally was very fun, knowledgeable & prompt. Enjoyed every bit of the tour! Even in the sweltering heat. Also, loved that there was a great supply of ice cold water during the entire tour!

Thomas_A

The war memorials were great the tour guide and and naration was excellent. The boat ride we did not like at all. Very poor seating and the naration recording was not in sync with the location of the boat

Michael_B

This company is not customer service friendly. My family purchased 7 tickets to do the all day DC Boat tour. We booked the night before the tour within the 12hour window. We were running late due to traffic and tried calling the number listed, texted and emailed to ask if the tour could wait for all 7 of us. No way to communicate because no one replied or answered. When I finally did reach a representative they were not accommodating for us to catch up with the tour or to rebook for another. Life happens and this company could care less that you spent $700. I would not recommend booking with them.

The guide was awesome and they kept the timing in check all the times. Though the pick up location was at one place and the drop off locations catered to the needs of the passengers.
