Celebrate the last days of summer with a scenic Architectural River Cruise through DC, featuring live guided commentary, networking, an open bar, and heavy hors d’oeuvres.

Join us for a one-of-a-kind architectural river cruise through the heart of Washington, DC. Limited to just 100 participants, this live guided tour offers a rich narrative of the Federal City’s architectural and historical evolution—all from the deck of a boat sailing along the Potomac River.

Departing from the Georgetown Waterfront, this two-hour experience includes live commentary from a knowledgeable guide from DC Design Tours. You’ll cruise past DC’s most iconic landmarks including the Lincoln Memorial, Kennedy Center, and Pentagon, while also uncovering hidden gems like the C&O Canal and the Titanic Memorial.

Arrive by 3:30 pm for check-in. The boat will leave promptly at 4:00 pm. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore the capital’s past, present, and future from the water.
