Things to do in Baltimore, Maryland (MD): The Best Private Tours

September 5, 2021 Terina Blouin

Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the late 1970s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal. While a good part of the city's action centers around the fun and festive Harbor area, where street entertainers, open-air concerts, fireworks and parades abound, the surrounding neighborhoods offer all sorts of interesting landmarks, unique shops and delicious restaurants. Wander around Fells Point, the oldest section of Baltimore, reminiscent of an old English village, complete with pubs and cobblestone streets. Take the kids to the aquarium and check out the imaginative creations at the American Visionary Art Museum. Or stop by the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum for an in-depth look at the Great Bambino's life. Baltimore is also renowned for its African-American heritage sites, plus festivals and cultural events that take place throughout the year. From historic places and harbor cruises to family friendly attractions and fabulous neighborhoods, Charm City is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.

I found this tour on Trip Advisor. I’m glad I booked it! Booking was easy. Ira and I emailed. He picked us up right outside of Penn Station right on time. We were in a passenger van and covered a lot of territory. For this tour, you don’t get out and take pictures - it’s basically to show you the city so you will get a feel for it. Ira did let me jump out and take a picture of a church. We went to quite a few neighborhoods. Ira was very knowledgeable about Baltimore history. We went to Ft McHenry and we did get out of the van and walk around. After the tour, Ira dropped us off at a restaurant at the harbor. When we were finished for the day, Ira was able to pick us back up and drop us at Penn station. Ira has all kinds of tours and if he doesn’t have what you want, I bet he will customize a tour just for you!! Give him a call - you won’t be sorry!

Our guide, Ira Cunningham, was one of the best tour guides I've ever booked with. His knowledge of the city and in particular, the individual neighborhoods, was impressive. He is super friendly, accommodating with questions, and even gives a small gift at the end. We really enjoyed our time with him. Highly recommend!

I booked the tour because of reviews here, the fact that it was limited to three people(the size of my group), and because it was exactly what we were looking for. Dillon was the best tour guide ever! The tour was more then we had ever hoped for. The weather was ideal. We rode past many of the things we wanted to see, we walked to some, COVID has changed the way we prefer to tour. Every minute was packed with information, laughs, and proud to say building a friendship with our guide. He couldn’t do enough for us! Lunch choice was 5 stars. Incredible view on the water, upscale, superior service and the food was out of this world. Dillon made sure our every need was met and he did it with a smile. A must do with this company.
