Hop on board your private water taxi as you see the sites of Baltimore from the bay. On this tour, you’ll have a front-row seat to history as your guide shares the stories that helped form Baltimore. We will stop and tour Fort McHenry where brave soldiers heroically defended the city. Here you will see how this battle inspired the National Anthem. Your tour continues after your cruise ends in the historic neighborhood of Fells Point. One of the original three settlements that began Baltimore, Fells Point’s waterfront character, ethnic neighborhoods, and architectural significance date back to the 1760’s.
