Doing what: In the Footsteps of George Washington: Day Cruise to Mount Vernon
I wondered when we booked if this was too long to spend but could easily have spent longer here. A grea tour - loved the cruise as a start and finish to the day and Mt Vernon did not dissapoint.

The excursion was really outstanding. The voyage in the Potomac river was extraordinary, the cruise was very comfortable and the staff so kind. The visit to Washington´s house was really interesting, letting us learn details about his life and the American History. Everything well organised!! Thank you

boat conditions inside were FREEZING cold.
tour guide could be heard clearly and was excellent!
staff should be more cordial to guests and not just to themselves during cruise.
written directions to pier were exptremely poor for those not accustomed to the area. (a simplified map should be included.)

My two nieces and I enjoyed this trip. Everyone was very helpful and on time.
The only problem we had was finding Pier 4. We needed an exact address to put into the gps. We passed the Washington Monument at least four times before we found the pier.

The mansion and visitor centers at Mount Vernon are definitely worth seeing. The folks in period costumes were knowlegeable about the roles they were playing and had interesting stories to tell if you asked questions. We could have used more time there.
Narration on the boat portion of the tour was rather lean - there should have been a bit more to it. It was interesting seeing the planes overhead going to land or take off from Reagan airport. We got great pictures.

Everyone on the boat was extremely nice. The trip was relaxing in the midst of a very, very busy week in DC. I was not as pleased with "Mount Vernon". I felt we were rushed through the mansion, and given very little information. Our self-guided tour around the grounds was better.

The food was wonderful. The music was 70's, disco so it was sort going back in time for me. The singers and dancers were good. We went to top and enjoyed the beautiful view for quite awhile.

Doing what: Washington DC Duck Tour
Don't do this one...too hot, too much traffic, and our driver was boring...we have done duck tours in Seattle, Pittsburgh, Santa Barbara, and this was the worst one...not worth it.

Brilliant tour. Guide was hilarious, saw all of the main sights, even managed to see President Obama's helicopter coming in to land at the White House. And our little boy got to steer the boat

A very pleasant way to see this historic house museum. As we were staying in DC and could use the Metro to get to the ship it meant a more relaxing trip without the use of the car.
