      Great Tour!!
      Margaret Mary was the greatest! Went out of her way and gave us more tidbit than just restaurants/food. This was my first tour with Tripadvisor and was really wonderful!!

      Fun and filling
      Our son recently moved to Baltimore and we took this tour while visiting him for the first time. I can't say enough good things about it! Our guide, Mary Margaret, was warm and knowledgeable and had a close relationship with the owner of every restaurant we stopped in! The food was plentiful and delicious. We got history lessons as we explored the area, as well as information about current offerings in the city. We will definitely return to the places we visited.

      Great tour guide and food tour value.
      Charm city Food tour’s Fells Point Food Tour in Baltimore was the perfect tour. We booked it through TripAdvisor but it is available directly as well. Combining some local history with a great combination of foods from local restaurants with historic significance of one kind or another. Mary Margaret our guide, is a Fells Point resident who knows everyone and everything about the neighborhood. Four food stops including an unusual dessert and drink made for a full three hour plus tour and was enough food to count as dinner. The group was small, eight adults total, and everyone seemed to enjoy the tour immensely. Overall, this was a really good tour and an excellent value. We give it five stars and the rare five clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale.

      Such a great afternoon of history, delicious food and laughs
      Our office had a private tour for 18 with Mary Margaret through Fells Point. We stopped at Alexanders Tavern, Barcocina and Prima Dopo. All of these locations had great food and drinks. The crush's at Alexander's Tavern were amazing, everything at Barcocina was delicious and Prima Dopo was not only very yummy, but the decor and history blew me away! Mary Margaret was so pleasant to work with and you could tell she really does have a love for the Fells Point area and history. She was so excited to hear our own personal connections to Fells and how it related to the tour. It was a great experience all around. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon.

      Fells Point Food Tour with friends
      We did the Fells Point Food Tour with friends and Mary Margaret was our host. She did an excellent tour, loaded with history and good food. She took care of all the guests (there were 13 guests). Highly recommend this tour with Mary Margaret!

      Foodies experience
      Mary Margaret was our tour guide and did a very good job informing us about the history, tidbits, recommendations for awesome food & drink establishments in Fell's Point. She was personable and lighthearted. This is a walking tour. Unfortunately, the March weather was too chilly for this. We enjoyed meeting the others in our group of 10 and eating family style at the 4 restaurants we stopped at. The food samples tasted good, were plentiful and filling. I have to say, I was somewhat disappointed that we did not visit top rated restaurants in Trip Advisor, nor were some of our food samples original/unique to the Baltimore area.

      Fell in love with the food and vibe of Fells Point!
      Oh my goodness… we LOVED our tour in Fells Point! The food selections were perfection (best brussel sprouts and bruschetta you’ve ever tasted) and the history and walk about was fun and informational. What a quaint and lively area. Of course, it wouldn’t have been the same without our beautiful and engaging tour guide Mary Margaret. Don’t miss this tour. We “fell” in love with Fells Point! Two thumbs up! 👍🏻 👍🏻

      Fun in Little Italy
      This tour was a slow paced tour packed full of history and fun facts. The food was great and our guide was so knowledgeable. I would have preferred more iconic Italian restaurants, but these were good.

      Great Experience - Even for a "local"
      I was given this as a gift from my wife and even though I'm a lifelong resident of Baltimore, I had a ton of fun touring Little Italy with Mary Margaret and my good friend PJ. We went to some places I'd been and many I never was (all great and very welcoming). I would highly recommend and will definitely do this again (and give as a gift to others). It was such a fun experience!

      Frigid weather, warm and inviting tour
      The Little Italy and Jonestown tour was the best and Mary Margaret was a superb tour guide in spite of the freezing weather! Her knowledge of the area is endless. We've done a lot of food tours and this was by far the best. When we make our next trip to Baltimore we'll do the Fells Point tour and request Mary Margaret as our guide.

      Great experience, great guide!
      The best part of the tour was our guide. Mary Margaret was excellent. Great energy, and really connected to the area, sharing many interesting facts. We were able to have a taste of a nice variety of good foods. It was also nice to meet new people and get to know them and a little bit of their story.

      Recommend the Food Tour
      My cousin and I were very impressed with the Fells Point food tour. Not only did we get to sample some great food but we learned a lot about Fells Point. Our guide, Mary Margaret, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history we would not have known otherwise. She even gave us some great tips of what to do and where to go during our visit. Definitely going back for a tour of Little Italy next time !

    If you like good food, history, and unique architecture, this tour is for you. We walked about two miles through the picturesque side streets of Annapolis, stopping at three very nice restaurants and then ending at a busy ice cream shop. The food was delicious, although it wasn’t really reflective of the Chesapeake location. Carolyn—who is knowledgable, articulate, personable and enthusiastic—is the guide who usually conducts this historic food tour. The fact that she loves her job elevated the experience for us.

    Our guide for the food tour was Carolyn, and she was engaging and informative. Our group consisted of 8 people which was very manageable. The walking tour took us past key sites along with some side streets of Annapolis. The walk was an easy pace and the stops at each place provided a long enough break to rest. The food was delicious especially at the last stop (flat bread pizza and chocolate cake). Other food items on the tour included calamari, she crab soup, oyster or shrimp shooter, fried potato pancake and corned beef. The tour was advertised as a 3 hour tour, but we ended up spending an extra two hours on the tour since no one was in a rush to be anywhere and it ended up being a leisurely tour with lots of conversation at each stop.

    Carolyn was our tour guide. She was friendly and knew a lot about the area and history. I believe she teaches history too. We had 4 stops and the tour lasted 4 hours almost. We had a sampler platter at the first place and it contained 3 appetizers. I think it was at Galway Bay. One appetizer was like a crab cake but not as fried and not flat. Another was crab meat wrapped in lettuce. The third item was some kind of meat. It was a nice dish. The next stop was Harry Browns and we had the she crab soup. It's so delicious, very rich and filling. I couldn't eat much of the fresh calamari. The last stop was a pub looking place and we had bruschetta but it was in the shape of a mini pizza. This was my least favorite stop. The bruschetta contained feta cheese and too much oil for my liking. The crust was good. The final stop was a local ice cream shop. I got the vegan coconut chocolate chip ice cream. It was decent. The place was packed and practically nobody wore a mask. I didn't like sitting in the shop, especially since it was so small. Overall, the food was good and Carolyn provided a wealth of history about the area.

    The food was great. The guide, however, presented a stream of basically unrelated facts about "unknown" local residents (not Washington, Jefferson, etc OR how these great historical figures interacted with the history of Annapolis). The guide set no historical or geographical contexts within which individual facts could become meaningful. There was no discussion of how the food we were served was relevant to Maryland or the Annapolis area.

    Good tour. Guide sure knows her history. Could have been shorter at 3.5 hours. Really long gap between restaurant #1 and #2. Other historic food tours we've done in other cities were about 3 hours, which we found was more than enough.

    Carolyn, our tour guide, was a delight! (This was our first walking food tour)
    We sampled food from 4 different restaurants with accommodations for dietary restrictions.
    She is very knowledgeable and we had lots of fun. Who knew I could learn the history of Annapolis in such an informative way with loads of laughs!
    You gotta do this....
    Thanks Carolyn 😃

    Great way to connect with a new to you town/city. Carolyn is experienced and entertaining. The first two selections of restaurants served top draw entries . Last one, Red Red Wine pizza was so-so. Overall, ample servings, very good food, entertaining for those interested in US history, and highly recommended.

    So… I have lived in Maryland for 37 years. I'm now 50 years old. I have never been to our state's capital, Annapolis. My husband is now incapable of traveling. It's been that way for six years. We used to travel the world. I finally decided to start practicing solo travel. I do travel with my friends which is good, but... I need to practice solo travel. So I drove two hours to Annapolis. Had a great overnight! This tour was fantastic! It felt like I was not alone but able to still just be me. I learned so much about Annapolis! Who knew!? It's adorable! I also LOVE a water town. Don't be like me. Go to Annapolis! Food was great. History was. great. People were great :)
