After biking and walking the Mall for 5 days, it was beautiful to relax and enjoy the water views. Everything was run efficiently and even though it was a busy day, there was lots of space to sit.

Good way to see the Capital from the water. The vessel was large and comfortable with seating both inside and out. The only comment to make is the commentary was limited, pre-recorded and hard to hear outside. I've been on many boat tours over the years and live commentary always wins! Hopefully this can be included one day. Thanks.
