Private Baltimore: Iconic Baltimore Tour
Baltimore, USA
Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Your private tour of Baltimore’s iconic Inner Harbor begins at the Camden Yards Sports Complex — at the feet of one of Baltimore’s most celebrated sons, Babe Ruth. Here, we’ll talk Baltimore sports and fill you in on the city’s transportation history before setting out to see the famous sights of Baltimore!
From the meeting point, we’ll begin to make our way towards the water. During your walk, your guide will point out several locations of historical and architectural interest, including a railroad station, beautiful churches and the Baltimore Convention Center. Your guide will then escort you onto the Charm City Circulator, a free bus service around the area that offers a speedier journey to our next destination.
While on the bus, you’ll spot many popular destinations and your guide will fill you in on his or her favorite recommendations for shopping, museums and other interests. When you reach your stop, you and your guide will disembark and continue on to taste one of Baltimore’s most famous dishes, crab, at a popular seafood joint that locals have voted "Best Place to Get Crab.”
After sampling Baltimore’s world-famous crab in one of its many delicious forms, you’ll set out on a short walk to the docks. Weather permitting, you’ll begin the over-water part of your tour, onboard one of the Inner Harbor’s many ferries. Aboard the ferry, you’ll have a unique perspective and a beautiful view of the harbor and its attractions — seeing modern-day Baltimore while experiencing the same (albeit much shorter) journey that many early settlers experienced hundreds of years ago.
Once you’ve disembarked your seafaring transportation, you’ll have to find your land legs for the final stroll of your tour. You’ll continue to make your way around the harbor, now seeing iconic historic attractions, including the civil-war era ship, the USS Constellation.
You’ll know when you’re getting close to the tour’s final stop... as you will be able to smell the sweet deliciousness in the air! A sweet sample of local fudge is just the thing to finish up your tour of the Inner Harbor. Make sure to ask your guide for his or her favorite fudge flavors.
If you’re still looking for more to see before dinner, your guide will be happy to give you his or her recommendations for other nearby sights and attractions before you part ways.
