Annapolis Tours,
Attractions & Experiences 

Watermark Annapolis toura

When visiting Annapolis, it is fun to have a guided walking tour, tours by trolley or ecart, or a boat.  Annapolis tour guides will make learning about Annapolis a fun experience. The top guided tours in Annapolis, Maryland, all start in the downtown area. They focus on history, Chesapeake Bay, the United States Naval Academy, ghost stories, and specialty themes, including historical themes, ghosts, haunted history tours, colonial history, African American History, and scandalous, weird, and wacky tours. In downtown Annapolis, you can take walking tours, trolley tours, and boat tours. Use the links below to book your guided tour in downtown Annapolis.

Annapolis is filled with attractions you will enjoy. During the day, check out the museums, historic home tours, shop the boutiques, take a cruise on the bay, or grab a table at a cafe and enjoy people watching. In the evening, check out the concert and performing art venues, escape rooms, local bands playing in the pubs, or a cultural event at one of the local theatres or performing art venues. Contact venues to see if tickets are required.

While the City Dock is under construction, some of our favorite places to be along the waterfront are the view from the second floor of the USNA Visitors Center, the street-end park on Prince George Street, walking along the US Naval Academy along Spa Creek and the Severn River, and the Eastport Bridge. Of course, being on the water is fun as well, plan time to get out on the water while you are here.
