Baltimore
Tours - Since Baltimore is a smaller city,
most visitors like to travel around the city on their
own schedule. One tour takes visitors throughout the
city streets (and waterways!) to various attractions
(Ride the Ducks of Baltimore), but most of Baltimore’s
tours offer a specialized look at one part of the
city. These are great if you want to learn more about
Fell’s Point’s ghosts, the affect of the
Civil War on Baltimore, or any other part of the city.
Since Baltimore is situated around the Chesapeake
Bay, the most breathtaking tours available
are on the water. The lady ships of Baltimore; the
Bay Lady and Lady Baltimore, and the Prince Charming
ship, offer tourists a one-hour narrated tour around
the Inner Harbor four times daily from April through
October. Special event cruises such as Thanksgiving,
Breakfast with Santa, and a New Year’s Eve Extraganza
are held throughout the year. The boats are also available
for private charter for weddings or special events.
If you like sailing or have always wanted to spend
a few hours on a sailboat, HarborSail offers chartered
tours from historic Fell’s Point. You will see
historic attractions such as Fort McHenry
and Federal Hill.
Clipper City offers visitors a ride
to see the historic sites of Baltimore. The Clipper
City ship is a replica of one of the tall ships that
carried lumber into and out of the Port of Baltimore
from 1854 to 1892. The ship offers two-hour tours
twice daily on most days to Fort McHenry and the bustling
seaport.
Baltimore also has something for sports fans. The
Baltimore Orioles baseball team plays its
home games at Camden Yards. The one-time railroad
center has now been converted to a state-of-the-art
baseball stadium right in the heart of downtown Baltimore.
Visitors are invited to tour the ballpark including
the club level suites, the press levels, and the Orioles
dugout.
Although Baltimore doesn’t
offer many tours that provide travelers with an overview
of the city, its specialized tours give visitors the
opportunity to visit and learn more about certain
parts of the city. Below is a list of tours that many
visitors find enjoyable. Many more tour opportunities
exist, so check with the visitor center, your hotel,
or your travel agent to see what other areas of Baltimore
offer a more detailed look at the unique offerings.
