| Highly recommend to others. The quality of the tour was largely due to our guide, who was top-notch and courteous, not a dull moment on the entire tour. My wife and myself (form PA) were joined by another couple (from GA) and our guide (5 total in group). Did not feel rushed at any time on the tour. Immediately impressed with warm reception by guide at meeting place, the audio receiver and earpiece provided (necessity when walking thru town), courtesy bottled water and coffee. Tour office surervisor checked two times to make sure everyone was satisfied. Each destination was ready for our arrival and all involved were very friendly and open to questions. Food / drink samples at various eating establishments were great. We returned to Irish restaurant across from State House for lunch following day. Will return to restaurant at Maryland Inn again in future for popovers. Two suggestions for improvement: 1) Provide larger bag at beginning of tour to hold bottled water and misc. trinkets provided by restuarants along the tour; and, 2) add color coded depiction of historic landmark plaques on map handout with key / legend to show time period. In the words of our guide, Marco, all of the above Tis True, Tis True! |

| Truly enjoyable walking tour with lots of historical stories and locations. Then we had numerous stops for crab balls, crab dip, popovers, cabbage rolls, ice cream, gelato (two separate stops), etc. Personable and charming guide. Loved the historical drinking toasts provided. Highly recommend tour. |

| Marcos provided my wife and I with an amazing tour of eating establishments and individual homes with a great amount of information on each stop. I must say, the tastes of different foods at each stop provided us with enough nourishment to keep us satisfied until we returned home some hours later.
I didn't realize how much ground we covered till we returned to the place where we started and the tour guide gave us his summary of the tour. The tour was so interesting that the time passed quickly.
I will recommend this tour to all my friends who are going to Annapolis for a visit and also to some friends who live in the area. |

| I didn't care for the food. It wasn't enough for lunch unless you don't mind eating a lot of ice-cream - we had it twice.
A few of the stops were interesting; some were not.
We had a beautiful day so it was nice to walk around. |

| This is a really great way to see what Annapolis has to offer and learn a little about it's history. Even our 19 year old son wasn't bored. The quality and quantity of the food was excellent. The headsets worked great for hearing the guide, even with the street traffic noise. |

| I met 6 or 7 friends for the tour and we all agreed that it was delightful! We learned so much about the colonial days in Annapolis while enjoying some excellent samples of a variety of dishes. The food was perfectly ample - almost too much! Since my distant cousin lives in and gives tours of Sands House, and many of my ancestors had ties to Annapolis, there was an extra personal charm for me. |

| Great way to get to know a bit about downtown Annapolis. Get a taste of the history, the dress, and the way of life of the old ways. Get some sample foods from the local establishments, ice cream, and get to know your way around enough to find your way back to your faves once you're done. Super idea for folks that don't know downtown. Once you are done - it's more than a short walk - go back to some shopping and more food on your own. I wasn't full, but not hungry either. We had 2 guides for our group of 12, one brought up the rear. Used ear pieces so all could hear. Liked that. Fun, friendly, and enthusiastic Susan and James know their stuff. Would not recommend to those unsteady on their feet, as you walk the brick walks of town and down steep stairs. Recommend! |

| The walking tour was very interesting and the guide (Marcos) was very enthusiasic and well informed. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the city history, see the local sites, and enjoy the food tasting of some of the local restaurants. |
