Got on and off the bus easily several times with not much waiting. The boat trip was very informative and enjoyable. The wait to get on was long as we learned that it was Sunday of Spring Break and the crowds were much larger than usual. However, it was worth the wait.

The boat cruise was awesome! We had a great tour guide, very animated and fun. The hop on hop off bus tour left a lot to be desired. The last bus tour we went on in DC had a live person doing the talking and telling us about the city. I was pretty disappointed with the pre recorded tour guide.

We picked up at Pearl. Ran into a little issue the pickup spot had been moved. The old sign and the website still showed the original pick up spot. After waiting 40 minutes we called the number on the sign and they let us know it had been moved to a new location due to construction. Otherwise ride was good. If you sit on top level be aware of tree branches in a few areas.
