Fantastic

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.

This was a birthday present for my history loving husband...with a food bonus. We have a boat near annapolis...we just never get a chance to go there. We are glad we took the time. We greatly enjoyed Susan ..our guide. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The only thing we did not like were the ear pieces..the clips were not strong enough to keep the transmitter in your pocket...and the ear piece did not always work. I would highly reccomend this tour!! Great and worth the money!

We had a great time!

In spite of inclement weather, our guide was upbeat and knowledgeable about many historical periods, not just the Colonial period. We threw some odd questions his way and he answered them with good humor and an assurance borne of knowledge. The food was wonderful, but it was the walk and the history that we really appreciated. We would definately recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, walking or history . And who doesn't? In fact we have already talked it up to friends in the Baltimore Area. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon in Annapolis.

Fantastic Tour with Capitol City Colonials

We had a wide variety of ages on the tour. I was amazed the one tour guide was able to capture the attention of the entire group (including the kids!). It was a great tour and we plan to return for another tour soon.

Excellent Tour! Highly recommended!

This tour was well worth the money. We could not have asked for a better tour guide! Our guide Carolyn was extremely knowledgable and entertaining at the same time. Our group had a mixed bag of people, from kids to older people and the tour catered to all. I highly recommend this tour to both visitors and locals of the Annapolis area.

Highly Recommend!
Sun, May 27, 07   1:00 PM pider09 Female 50-59 Local Family Without Children
Our guide, Susan, was terrific. She was very knowledgable and fun to be with. Susan is a very patient person, which one has to be on these types of tours. We were extraordinarily fortunate that it was just the two of us rather than a group! The number two most wonderful part of this tour was that she provided headphones so that my husband, who is hard of hearing, could hear everything she was saying. It also meant that we could look around and still hear! It was a wonderful addition to any tour! We have been to many cities as tourists, gone on may food tours, and have enjoyed them all. This was especially nice because it was in our own backyard! We definitely will return to Annapolis and frequent some of the places we visited during our tour with Susan. We highly recommend both Susan and the tour.

A great tour!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and history walking tour. The food choices were all delicious, and the guide was quite knowledgeable. True history buffs might want to know that there is not an historical connection for all of the food choices and eating establishments. Yet all were great fun! I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour about town with delicious tastings
Sun, May 20, 07   1:00 PM SandyPowers Female 50-59 Local Other
This was such a phenomenal way to spend an afternoon in the historic city of Annapolis. Our guide, Susan Denis was extremely versed in local historical interesting facts and added humor to her dialogue. We went to multiple and varied sites that she presented such unique facts on, that it was very surprising to me as I have been a local resident most of my life and taught school in this county for a quarter of a century ! At each stop we enjoyed some type of colonial snack or beverage-each more appetizing than the previous. The other tour participants were British and Scottish, and were most impressed with Susan's factual knowledge & enjoyable humorous comments. After each libation, she treated us to a colonial toast and the reason for it's use in historic Annapolis. The pace was leisurely and enjoyable on a lovely spring afternoon in our original capital city. Three cheers for Susan Denis and her portrayal, in her lovely colonial attire, of an 18th century lady. Her use of tiny speaker ear pieces was a great help while being in the city on a busy Sunday afternoon. I have recommended this to many people since taking it, and would gladly delight in taking it again !

Food and History: Winning Combination

Tour guides with a good sense of humor towards questions. Fun and fulfilling in that one is never without food or drink throughout the tour. If you like cool architecture and stories about the past and present, this is the right tour. They even gave us individual headsets so that they don't have to shout, we can listen to them at the volume we wish to hear them at, and there are so many cool things along the way one can lag behind for pictures and the like without missing the tour.

Fun tour of Annapolis
Sun, Apr 29, 07   1:00 PM DAHoney8 Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Enjoyed the tour of Annapolis. Our tour guide was dressed and talked as if she walked out of a 18th Century home in the town. She made the trip very informative and did cute little things that made for a great tour. The food was fun too. Most I had had before but the pop-overs were to die for. I learned many exciting facts about the city I love. Thanks so much for a fun day!

Unique and entertaining

The idea of incorporating food stops into a city tour brought a fresh and unique twist. I found the colonial guide to be entertaining along with great anecdotal tales. At the conclusion of the tour I was well fed and "full up". The pop overs near the end of the tour were outstanding! One should not miss this tour.

Great experience for young and old.
Sat, Apr 21, 07   2:30 PM LoisSchneide Female 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We came as a family of six and were joined by five others, we ranged in age from 8 to 73 years. I can only speak for our family. It was two and one half hours well spent. Carolyn, our guide was knowlegable, cohsiderate, fun and tailored her presentation to those presemt. One member of our group had forgotten his ID and Carolyn's assistant (I forget his name) thoughtfully volunteered to visit with him while the rest of us toured the State House - a nice touch. I would do another tour in a heartbeat, in fact we plan to return for a ghost tour in the future but only if Carolyn is our guide (in my close to seventy years of travel she is pobably the best guide I have ever encountered).

Best new tour in Annapolis
Fri, Apr 13, 07   11:00 AM jeanne123 Female 50-59 Local Individual
I have done Annapolis by boat, and on land for a history walk, but I went on this tour for the food, and was pleasantly suprised at the wealth of local historic knowledge that the guide filled us in on as we strolled leisurly through the historic district of Annapolis. Bolstered by wonderful earphones for each person on the tour, we wandered from taverns to ice cream makers through wine cellars to historic homes and kitchens and more. There were plenty of samplings to consider it lunch. Now I feel well equiped to go out on my own and find a great restaurant for dinner. This is the first year this tour has been offered, and I would say that Capital City Colonials has a real hit!

Very well organized!

The coordination of this tour is crucial to it's success, and Capital City Colonials has obviously put a lot of planning on the timing and overall value. The food stops were great, the guide was very knowledgeable, and the individual microphones for ease in hearing made the day complete.
