The crew of the Providence was so capable of not only sailing but making the 12 passengers on deck feel welcome and safe. The historical information was so interestingly presented both the American history and the Providence history. We also enjoyed the crew sharing some of their personal experiences.It wa a five sar aternoon.

Fun pirate themed sailing experience for the family! The crew members were so engaging, especially the gentleman who narrated stories about the ship’s history. Enjoyed the captain’s welcome, the musicians singing sea chanties, the tour of the three decks, the refreshments, and the sail on the river itself.

I thoroughly enjoyed the way we were brought on as sailors with roles. The staff did an outstanding job of keeping in character and explaining daily life as well as the history of the ship and it's place during the dawn of our nation. I was so caught up in the narratives, I forgot to take photos until the end. The final video, tying then and now together, was outstanding as well. Can't wait to take the evening cruise with friends.

One of the best tours I've been on! We felt as if we were back in time in 1776. The crew was awesome and so knowledgeable and we felt like a part of history. Both cook/seaman John Carlton and Captain John Paul Jones with his wonderful Scottish accent never wavered from character. Definitely worth the modest $24 price. We plan to return in the summer to sail on a voyage. Highly recommended!

Wonderful tour of tall ship Providence. The friendly crew dressed in period costumes explained all of the history of this ship during the tour and were very accommodating for my mother with her mobility issues. The bar on the dock is a great place for rum punch and to watch the boats on the Potomac. I will definitely go back for another visit.

Quite enjoyable and relaxing. Crew and captain were very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions and explain all the "goining's on." My only disappointment was the lack of sun for any good sextant sun sights to make sure we didn't get lost in the middle of the Potomac!

Nice dockside tour to see a historic vessel and appreciate the origins of our naval military branches. The tour was simple enough to allow easy participation for ages over 65 or under 8 years old. Without much hands-on activity it was not particularly exciting, but we learned some history and enjoyed the hosts. Perhaps the day sail would have suited me better.

We enjoyed our dockside tour. Fun actors portraying Captain and crew. Great historical information for both of us. The sloop, while a modern boat u derneath the decor, gives an accurate depiction of living spaces, which is mi d boggling.

The crew was so professional and friendly. They gave us great information about the boat. Really fun to watch them set sails. And the views of Alexandria, Arlington and Washington, DC from the water were spectacular. Relaxing tour.
