Fun afternoon on the Potomac and in Georgetown - Our guide was excellent- I believe his name was Alex. He had a microphone so everyone would hear him. We went to the front of the boat as he advised; he gave us lots of information enroute to Georgetown.

Super Combo Trip for Washington DC visit - Super tour to take when visiting Washington DC. Combining the river boat ride with the Georgetown walk was a great combo. Jesse was very informative and kept the group engaged. Jessie really showed dedication to his job when an injury happened after the tour and he stayed for the extra hour to ensure all was handled.

It's a long walk with all... - It's a long walk with all outdoor stops and mostly uphill. The history and choices of stops are not that fascinating.

Very interesting cruise on the Potomac - We really liked our guide, Ayana. The crew was very professional. It was a beautiful day on the Potomac with lots of boaters and kayakers. One pleasure boater ran into us so that was interesting. None aboard were injured and we went on to Georgetown. All in all a fun day for us.

A Pleasant Walk In Georgetown - We loved being introduced to Georgetown and seeing the multiple Kennedy homes and places John and Jacquelyn frequented. The tour was well planned. The water taxi was fine and the operators were very polite. Our guide was disappointing. He knew his script but was unable to answer most of the group's questions. We were disappointed that he had not researched what we thought were relatively obvious tourist inquiries and come better prepared to answer questions. We would recommend this tour but not this guide.

The tour guide however apologized and said this never happens . We were told we would get refunds since we really didn’t get to do what we were supposed to do .

Georgetown Guided Tour - The guided tour wasn't what I expected. The tour guide didn't know exactly how many guess was in his party apparently. When he placed orders for cupcakes before departing, he didn't account for every guess. An experienced tour guide would have made sure that accounted for everyone in his party.
