City Cruises Alexandria Water Taxi

The views along the way to Washington were absolutely gorgeous! 🌊 You could spot the Capitol Building, planes gracefully landing at the airport, and even the Navy base. 🛬⚓ Every moment on this route felt like a postcard come to life! 🛥️✨

My wife and I had a great experience. We took the water taxi from Alexandria to Georgetown had dinner in Georgetown and then returned as the sun was preparing to set.

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.

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!

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 this cruise line twice: once from the Wharf in DC back to Alexandria, which was more like a tax and took just over 30 mins. Then we took a very pleasant ride up from Mt Vernon to the Wharf in DC (after a bike ride from Alexandria to Mt Vernon). This one took just over 1.5 hours. The boarding crew chief in Mt Vernon was a bit impatient, but loading went smoothly. On board was relaxing. They did tell us some history/facts of a few things, just wish they had told us even more. Overall enjoyable ride for the $$.

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.
