Doing what: In the Footsteps of George Washington: Day Cruise to Mount Vernon
The boat ride was a nice change from a motor coach. I feel there should have been a sign informing us of a tram as that climb to the house was very difficult. Overall it was very enjoyable.

Mt. Vernon is beautiful. The boat ride is very nice but they could definitely upgrade their food and beverage options. Also visitors should be aware that walking in areas of Mt. Vernon can be challenging. The walk from the beach to George Washington's tomb and the "Woodland Trail" are quite the workout.

This was a lovely day in every aspect. The cruise was very relaxing, the scenery beautiful, and the conversation with fellow passengers was interesting. The tour guide (our captain) was informative. Definitely a recommended trip to future travelers.

We really enjoyed this! Our bus driver/guide was great too, he kept us entertained. One downfall was that we were unable to stop and see Christ Church, something was going on there.

Everything was great on this day trip to Mt. Vernon. The crew on the boat was the best and visiting the home of George Washington was such a great day.

Relaxing and informative cruise on the Potomac. Plenty of time to explore the grounds and tour the house and other buildings. Best gift shop in the DC area.

Doing what: Gettysburg Day Trip from Washington DC
Bus driver was very rude, he held up our tickets on the bus and told everyone that we were the mistake! Even though there were a few people who hadn't given him there tickets. The organisation for the buses was a complete nightmare it waslike a 'free for all ' with everyone rushing for there bus! If he had been next to his bus and checked everyone on (like he was when we got off....for a tip!) he would have known who he had and how many! This would of also prevented him LEAVING a man at gettsyburgh ....poor soul had to run about half a mile to catch up with the bus, luckily a passenger seen him running and shouted to the driver to stop!....apart from the driver the trip was really good....only had 20 mins to have lunch....as a family of 4 this was a huge rush.

I enjoyed the trip very much and would recommend it. However, I didn't think the guide in Gettysburg was very informative. He didn't offer information and waited for people to ask questions. Boring!

It was great. Needed more time. Another 2 hours at Mt. Vernon and 2 hours in Old Alexandria. If you had offered an all day trip, I would have booked that.

The bus was 20-30 minutes late to pick us up. He was sent some place else first. That cut our time short at Mt. Vernon.
The advertising about the pentagon, crystal city and Washington's church were misleading. We did not stop at the first 2 and the church was not open to go inside. I was disappointed in that part.
The bus driver was fun and told good stories.
