Me and my dad went with a tour guide. The boat ride was fun and great. There were lots of space and we got great seats undercover and can see everything. It was a fine, sunny day and very hot so needed to be in the shade. It was a fun and interesting ride as I learn a lot from it. It was interesting to see planes flying over the river as we found out the airport isn't far from them. I will do this boat trip again. …

A trip on the river was included with our bus tour. It is 45 minutes with an English commentary telling you some facts about the city. Just a nice way to see the sites from a different angle.

Went on the Nightingale to celebrate a big birthday and had the boat for 3 hours for a private party. We went cruising up the Potomac and had crabs and beer, hush puppies, mac & cheese and corn on the cob. Very casual event where we dressed casual and knew each other, wear good shoes with a grip. While the boat was old it was open on the side and it was one of those delightful summer evenings and the views were just wonderful. A different way to see the sights. The ride was smooth. The food was fine but nothing out of the ordinary. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and thought it good value for the money and reflected the casual atmosphere that the birthday person wanted. I would definitely do it again. Totally not fancy though!!!…

We enjoyed a July 4th river cruise with this company. The boat was comfortable and the staff knowledgable and cordial.
