Annapolis Tours was recently awarded as a finalist for Best Downtown Tour by The Capital’s Readers Choice Awards in 2014. Past guest Beckynbug wrote on TripAdvisor, “We took the 2.25 hour four century tour with Squire Richard. This was a fantastic tour. Richard was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the town, the churches, the government, and the Naval Academy, he was very funny and made the tour so much fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone and it was a great value as well.”

Also on TripAdvisor, soccerfan0510 said, “This 40 minute tour of the waterfront and out past the Naval Academy was a very fun experience. From the ticket seller to the captain of the boat and the young women working on the boat, everyone was so pleasant and helpful, AND the tour was very informational! I would recommend this to anyone with just a bit of time that they would like to spend out on the water and to learn a bit about Annapolis, the Naval Academy and the surrounding area. A perfect activity for a beautiful, sunny day.”

Changes for the 2014 season include a return to the 1:30 pm departure time for the daily afternoon Four Centuries Walking Tour from the City Dock Information Booth. Additionally, the Historic Ghost Walk now departs from 100 Main Street in front of Buddy’s Crabs and Ribs. This is the final year the War of 1812 in Annapolis walking tour will be offered on the public schedule.  Check out our new special events as well!
