Doing what: In the Footsteps of George Washington: Day Cruise to Mount Vernon
I really enjoyed the day cruise and my time at Mount Vernon. It was well worth the money! The only things that could have made it a five star excursion would include more time at Mount Vernon (30 minutes would be perfect) and an "adults only" line for refreshments on the boat. The boat had designated areas for the students on field trips and that made my time on the boat much more enjoyable.

Great tour. Went with my 12 year old granddaughter and she really enjoyed it. I had visited Mt Vernon by bus tour and found this as a good arrival alternative.

Doing what: In the Footsteps of George Washington: Day Cruise to Mount Vernon
Would have liked to have had more narration on the boat. Only had a smattering of sites along the way pointed out. I had expected it to have been more interesting, such as including some history of the Potomac river we were traveling on. Mount Vernon was great, though we could have gotten there on our own

Doing what: Washington DC Brunch Cruise
You gave us the wrong time to show up. You told us to be at the dock to begin loading at 10:30, departing at 11:30. Luckily, we arrived early.....the boat departed at 10:30! It was a lunch cruise, not a brunch cruise as advertised. It was a lovely day and the cruise itself was very nice.

The overall experience was great. Getting to Mt. Vernon by boat was a good choice because you get 2 fun things to do in one! The boat was very roomy and comfortable. The only complaint I have is that my granddaughter wanted a smoothy and it cost $6! .....a little pricey for me. But the trip was great and we had plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. Don't miss the oxen!

Doing what: Washington DC Sunset Dinner Cruise with Buffet
It was a awesome fun time! We got to meet an energetic, entertaining young couple at our table. Fred, our waiter, was also quite entertaining as well as a waiter who gave us everything we asked for. We live 1500 miles from DC; we had a great time. The DJ was very good at getting everyone involved. The chicken florentina was delicious.

Our party of 3 had a wonderful night here, highlighted when my husband and I were crowned King and Queen of the night for 51 years of marriage! We enjoyed the show with the continuous entertainment. Thanks for making our trip to Washington special..

Wonderful day on the boat and Mt Vernon grounds!

Doing what: In the Footsteps of George Washington: Day Cruise to Mount Vernon
The ship was very nice and clean. The crew was responsive and very professional. Although the ride from DC to Mt Vernon was beautiful and informative, I wished there was an opportunity to see some of the monuments in DC from the River and I wish we would have been able to get a closer view of Mount Vernon from the River. The only other suggestion I would have is that during the busy season that you provide more time at Mount Vernon. We did not have enough time to see all of the grounds because of the amount of time it took to get through the mansion and certain exhibits because of the large amount of people.

Nice excursion on the Potomac to Mount Vernon and back. The day 's weather was beautiful so, naturally, nealry all of the passengers sat on top. Unfortunately, you hear zero of the historical commentary when sitting up there, even if you plant yourself nearly directly beneath the speaker system. So that aspect of trip was disappointing. Otherwise, the time allowed to tour around Mount Vernon was just right. This was a great, unique way to visit a historical landmark and enjoy the river!

Doing what: Washington DC Sunset Dinner Cruise with Buffet
Excellent dinner cruise. Onboarding we received a warm welcome from the cruise manager with a glass off champagne. Buffet food was in abundance and the waiting staff entertaned us with a cabaret show. They really worked hard to involve all the cruise participents with games and dancing. We would recommend this diiner cruise to all ages.
