- K8394KTnancyt0 contributionsGo for the Fells Point HistoryMary Margret was as great as the reviews said. I fully enjoyed learning about the history of Fells point. One of the restaurants food was outstanding, the others were good but not my style. A great value for the price if you enjoy eating and want to learn more about this area.Written 13 January 2025
- June P0 contributionsMust do!Mary Margaret was the best!! The group was great people too! The history was so interesting and the food stops were great. My favorite was Bunny’s buckets & Bubbles. So fun!! Snow on the ground & all… I had a great time!!Written 11 January 2025
- Sara G0 contributionsFantastic tour & even gluten free accommodating!We had a great time! We were originally booked for the Fells Point Food tour, but it was cancelled due to not enough people signing up. The company promptly reached out to us to see if we would like to do the Little Italy tour instead. I’m so glad we did this tour! Mary Margaret was a fantastic guide and every place we stopped at was so welcoming! All spots were also very accommodating for gluten free. 10000% recommend!Written 31 December 2024
- MadeleineK900 contributionsGreat 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!!Written 14 November 2024
- kstec20 contributionsFun and fillingOur 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.Written 27 October 2024
- HolyLandHuckster0 contributionsGreat Food, Poor GuideThe 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.Written 1 September 2024

- quahaug0 contributionsGreat 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.Written 14 July 2024
- Z880EZdonnap0 contributionsSuch a great afternoon of history, delicious food and laughsOur 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.Written 18 June 2024
- YouReign0 contributionsDo It like a localCarolyn, 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 😃Written 9 June 2024
- LacrosseMD0 contributionsGood Food. 3.5 hour duration longer than other tours we've takenGood 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.Written 4 June 2024
- dorothyl520 contributionsAn Enjoyable Sunday AfternoonIf 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.Written 3 June 2024
- 229rickj0 contributionsFells Point Food Tour with friendsWe 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!Written 28 April 2024
- wifeNmommy0 contributionsFoodies experienceMary 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.Written 27 March 2024

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.

The girlfriend and I took the Fells Point tour this past weekend. Overall it was a great experience, it was super crowded down by the water because of some pirate festival going on but after the first stop we moved more inland where things were much calmer. It was cool to walk around Fells Point to take in some of the local history and food. Don't worry about not having enough food, there is plenty to go around. Suzanne was a great tour guide, it was a great way to spend an afternoon!
