The tour was very informative. We did Fells Point. Donna did a great job of keeping us in the shade since it was very warm. Loved that she also sent print info to help us remember facts. Great value for the experience!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. The walk was not that challenging. We live in the next neighborhood over so we were very familiar with the area but knew virtually nothing of this history of Fells Point. I highly recommend this tour and guide.
Thanks so much for taking the time to give this lovely review. It was so much fun to have locals take a tour! We hope you had a beauty day in Baltimore.
DonnaAnn was terrific. She was knowledgeable, passionate, funny and truly has a love for Baltimore. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.
Aw, thanks so much Stephen. We had a great time showing you beautiful Baltimore and are glad you enjoyed the tour!
We did the walking tour of Fell’s Point with Donna. We absolutely loved it. She gave us a great overall history of the area and lots of anecdotes and fun facts. Donna was animated and enthusiastic throughout. We would definitely do another tour with her if and when we go back to Baltimore and highly recommend her.
Wow! Thanks for this wonderful review. We had a blast showing you salty old Fells Point and are thrilled you enjoyed the tour. We hope you had a beautiful day in Baltimore!
Donna Ann was not only extremely knowledgeable but engaging and personable. It was truly a custom tour and we learned a lot while have a thoroughly enjoyable time.
Thanks so much for this wonderful review! We loved showing you Charm City and genuinely enjoyed meeting you guys! Come back soon and have another beautiful day in Baltimore.
My husband and I left the Yankee/Orioles game and hopped on a bus. This is when we met Sue and told her we were visiting from upstate New York when she suggested for us to call her friend Donnann from Beautiful Baltimore Tours. I called Beautiful Baltimore tours and I was shocked to get a live person on the first ring. It was Donnann the owner of the tour company. She said she was soon to start her tour as she was waiting for a couple to arrive at the starting site. It ends up she was across the street from Homewood Suites and we waved hello to her. Met her and started the tour. Her knowledge of the Inner Harbor was amazing, she was funny, witty and full of life. I believe we ended the tour after 2hrs. We highly recommend Beautiful Baltimore Tours, it is a great bang for your buck and very entertaining.
Don't know why I'm just seeing this review, but it was just terrific to have you two on the tour. And what an origin story! One for the history books. We are so glad you toured the Inner Harbor with us and wish you the very best. Hugs!
We did the Inner Harbor walking tour. Donna Ann was a great guide. We learned a lot about Baltimore and Maryland in general. The Inner Harbor area is beautiful. We even got to see the Trash Wheel!! I wish we were in town longer to be able to tour the other areas as well.
What a kind and generous review. Thanks so much for taking the time to give it. We're so glad you had a beautiful day in Baltimore!
DonnaAnn was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and personable. We appreciated her wit and humor. She was responsive to our questions both before and during the tour. This was our first time to Baltimore so we learned much about its history in a short time. The fact that the city was settled as a free colony and welcomed immigrants was something that stuck with us. We enjoy walking tours and would recommend this tour.
Thanks so much for the kind words, I'm so glad you enjoyed Fells Point. It was great to get the 411 catch up on Cali! Come see us again!
Interesting, engaging, fun.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Mitchell. It was fun showing Baltimore to someone who used to live here!
What you should know is that this is an awesome tour, and totally worth doing on your first day in Baltimore! Donna has so much information, presents everything conversationally, and she knows everyone! This was one of the best walking tours I have been on anywhere.
Thanks so much for the wonderful review, Caitlin. It was a blast to show you two around Fells Point. You were such interesting guests!
