    11. Historic Annapolis walking tour with a small group

    4.8· 11 reviewsFrom₹3,429/ person
    Free cancellationInstant confirmation

    Two hours, 2 miles of walking through Annapolis — guided small group setting at a relaxed pace, rain or shine, with frequent stops.

    As a resident, I'm familiar with much of what was shared, yet I still discover new aspects of my hometown on tours like this. My friend visiting from out of town, who had never experienced Annapolis before, also found the tour enjoyable. Our guide, Rebecca, mentioned she was a local, but both she and her partner frequently mispronounced Roger Taney's name; Marylanders pronounce it as "tawney." It wasn't a major issue, but it did make me curious.fiedhp
