Potomac/Georgetown Cruise and Walk - Alex was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Potomac and Georgetown area. We enjoyed the history and architecture of the area. We did a lot of walking, and he did a lot of talking. It was a lovely afternoon.

Stay close if you want to hear - Guide Ryan was super nice, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The only complaint I have is how hard it is to hear. It’d be great for the guests to have headsets so the guide could walk and talk and everyone still hear. The cupcakes were amazing! Strawberry may be #1 seller, but the chocolate was fantastic!

Lovely Georgetown - The guides were really nice and easy to connect with. The water taxi ride was great but the speakers were quiet so it was hard to hear the audio about what we were seeing. We took a lovely stroll through Georgetown and it was a splendid way to spend an evening.
