| 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! |

| 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. |

| My wife and I live about an hour from Annapolis in Montgomery County, Maryland. We have lived here over 16 years and have visited Annapolis often. Suprisingly over 2/3's of the places visited, we had never been to. Some, we will go back to on future trips. The tour was excellent. We went out on a sailing schooner afterwards but had enough food during the walking tour that we decided not to have dinner before we came home. |

| The guide was funny, well-informed, attentive to our interests, friendly with an amazing number of Annapolis locals (who greeted her on the streets), and clever. She wanted us to have fun, enjoy the food, and also learn to appreciate the stories and traditions in Annapolis. It was wonderful! |

| The tour leader was well prepared, organized, historically informative, entertaining and charming. Individual audio recievers made for easy listening regardless of street noise or distance from the tour leader. The frequent stops provided not only delicious food samples, but also afforded restful breakes in this 3 hour tour. The food samples really did substitute for lunch. This tour is a real bargain. I don't know how they can afford to do it at such a reasonable price! I feel I've come away with a lasting knowledge of the history of Annapolis. |

| Susan, our tour guide, was terrific. She provided a lot of information on the history of
Annapolis and patiently answered all of our questions. She had a great memory. Although we were a large group, she knew us all by name. The food we sampled was delicious and plentiful. I would definitly take the tour again if in the area. |
