Activity #779 |
Crab Feast at Cantler's and Pub Crawl of Annapolis |
If the tour is sold out, is there a waiting list?
No, Boomerang does not keep a waiting list for our tours. Tours do sell out, and often well in advance, so please make sure to purchase your tickets far in advance, especially if you have limited time availability.
If Boomerang is running more than one bus when I want to go, how can I make sure I'll be on the same bus with my friends?
If you are signing up with friends, we ask you to provide the approximate number of people you expect to sign up, and the name of the group "organizer," when you purchase your ticket(s). By providing this information, we will be able to assign you to the same bus as the rest of your group. Please keep in mind, however, that providing this information does not "reserve" your friend's space - we only ask for these details so that we can keep groups of friends together, and plan accordingly. Your friends' space is in no way reserved or guaranteed until they purchase their own tickets, and tours usually sells out quickly, so please tell them to book as soon as they can!
Can I stay in Annapolis?
Of course! However, if you decide not to take the Boomerang bus back to DC at the end of the tour, you will need to find alternate transportation. There is no public transportation available between Annapolis and Washington DC, so you would have to pay for a cab, which can get very expensive.
What should I bring with me?
You don't need much to ride the Boomerang.
Make sure to bring your money for food and drinks if you choose to have some, a valid ID (US or International drivers' licenses, passports, or other government issued id), and a camera if you'd like.
How much time do we spend in Annapolis?
You have three hours to explore Annapolis on your own. From Jimmy Cantler’s Crab House, we take you to Griffin’s, which is located in downtown Annapolis. You can choose to stay there, or we can give you great places to bar hop on your own, shop, or sightsee.
Do I have to be over 21 years old?
Riders on the Boomerang must be 21 years of age or older AND have a government-issued, valid ID available (US or International drivers' licenses, passports, or other government issued ID).
Who will be on board during the tour?
On every trip there will be three employees of Boomerang Tours. There will be a licensed and experienced driver as well as two fun and outrageous party directors. Their job is to entertain you on and off the bus so that you have a great experience!
Can I drink on the bus?
The Boomerang does not provide alcohol or any beverages on the bus. However, you may be able to consume any alcohol you bring with you as long as you and every guest is 21 years of age. Please make sure to check state and local laws regarding the consumption and transportation of alcohol. No Glass Containers allowed on the bus. You may NOT, however, bring your own alcohol into any of the clubs/bars or take drinks you have purchased inside of a bar back onto the bus. If you bring your own alcohol on the bus, it must stay on the bus. You cannot exit the bus with any alcohol in your posession. Keep in mind that most places won't let you take alcohol "to-go", nor can you bring your own alcohol into the establishments. Because the bus may be sold out, no coolers, kegs or other large containers are allowed.
Are there bathrooms on the Boomerang?
There are no bathrooms on the Boomerang. But you will be able to use the bathroom at Jimmy Cantler's, Griffin's, and most places in downtown Annapolis are very welcoming!
Is the Boomerang heated and air conditioned?
The Boomerang is heated in the colder months. It is not air conditioned, but our windows provide a great cool breeze!
Can I leave my belongings on the bus?
Our driver stays on board the bus the entire trip to watch over everything to make sure nothing happens while you are having fun. However, he cannot remember which individuals go with which belongings, so please exercise care when deciding what to leave on board. Boomerang Tours is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
How long are we on the bus?
You are on the bus for the ride from Washington DC to Annapolis and back, which takes about an hour. We will also take you from Jimmy Cantler's to downtown Annapolis after lunch, but that ride is only about 15 minutes.
Do I need to tip the driver and party directors?
We do not require you to pay gratuity but these individuals are working for you. If you feel they have done a good job then please be kind and tip them just as you would your bartender or waiter. They work very hard to make sure you have a great experience.
What if someone gets out of hand?
Well, let's hope everyone has a good time responsibly, but if someone becomes unruly or harmful in any manner to themselves, our guests, or our employees, we reserve the right to remove them or not allow them onto the bus. This rarely happens, but we will not hesitate to keep you safe and ensure your enjoyment.
What about drinking and driving?
One of the reasons we created Boomerang Tours was to provide a safe way for you to enjoy the are without having to drive. Please help us by a) using the Metro or public other public transportation, b) always using a designated driver, and c) being responsible with your drinking. Your safety and enjoyment are important to us. We highly discourage anyone to drive to one of our events and drive home afterwards if you have been drinking. Drinking and driving is against the law.
Can I rent out the entire Boomerang bus for a private party?
Yes, but you need to make arrangements in advance so we can close that night to the public. A lot of our groups, however, find that it's a lot more fun to join the other guests on one of our public tours to make the celebration that much larger (and cheaper for your group)! Our bus can hold up to 40 people. If you're interested in booking a private tour, please click on "Contact this seller" link.
