👍👍 Nice staff, smooth and surprisingly brisk 30-minute passage between old town Alexandria and The Wharf (or National Harbor, perhaps quicker), and good seating on open-air sunny roof deck, shaded outdoor stern deck, or climate controlled interior. My particular route had no narration, which was good,... People often mention ride, Alexandria,

    Nice staff, smooth and surprisingly brisk 30-minute passage between old town Alexandria and The Wharf (or National Harbor, perhaps quicker), and good seating on open-air sunny roof deck, shaded outdoor stern deck, or climate controlled interior. My particular route had no narration, which was good, since I live in DC. A bit pricey (~$23 per adult) but fun and convenient. Better for recreational users than daily commuters. In Alexandria, an information desk sells tickets. Room for up to six bikes aboard! Those spaces at the stern are first-come first served. There were two bikes aboard, plus my compact two-child family e-bike on a busy June Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to riding again!

    We took the water taxi from The Wharf to Alexandria and back and its a fun way to spend a day. Service was on time, efficient and the ride was comfortable. They have a snack bar on board- its nice to grab a beer and take in the views up top. Especially nice thing to do if you have guests visiting from outside DC. Price was around 35 bucks return if I remember correctly, but you can also buy day passes and do multiple stops

    My husband and I wanted to take a ferryboat ride while we were visiting in D.C. last weekend! I looked up reviews for the different options, and this company stuck out to me. We decide to get a one-day pass for about $30 each and we were able to ride the ferry all day from Georgetown to Alexandria, to the National Harbour, to the Wharf in D.C. and back to Georgetown! All of the staff were very nice and informative, and one even held the ferry for us when we were running late back from site seeing!! I would definitely recommend this company!

    Everyone was so nice and when we bought our ticket we realized we didn't allow our selves enough time to do everything we wanted to do. Once we docked we were able to exchange our ticket for a later time no problem.

    We visited this place during a cloudy evening. The city is looking amazing with lights during the entire trip. It’s a one hour ride to and fro Alexandria and Warfh. Enjoyed the ride.

    Bit pricey but better option if want to avoid driving to Georgetown.

    Enjoyed my trip to Georgetown and back. A fun way to spend an afternoon and spectacular views of many of the Washington monuments. The narrated tour was very clear and informative. I especially loved the aircraft flying into Ronald Reagan airport right above our heads. Good value for money and a great way to see Washington from a different perspective.

    It was a lot of fun using the water taxi to cross the Potomac. Seeing the sights and sounds from the river was an enjoyable experience.

    We took the 4th of July fireworks cruise from Alexandria to Washington DC. The staff was friendly, and the boat wasn't overly crowded, which we loved. Captain did a great job getting us back to dock quickly after the show, and we were very happy with our experience. It was a great way to see the fireworks without heading into DC itself.

    Nice way to get to Georgetown and watch DC from the river.

  • 3/5 Stacey Q. 1 year ago on Google
    I was underwhelmed by the monuments tour. Also there was a bit of confusion prior to this when I received a message that the tour had been cancelled but by the day of the tour it was scheduled again. The Website is not designed for mobile phones. The water taxi from Alexandria to the wharf was a better experience.

    Very easy to get on and off the boat. The ride was enjoyable and well suited to people of all ages. Staff was very professional and friendly.
