Private Guided Tour of Annapolis

We’ll take you on a private guided tour of Annapolis. We’ll venture through Navy culture and heritage. Historic Annapolis, nestled along the waterfront of Chesapeake Bay, is America’s sailing capital and home to the US Naval Academy. You’ll feel the rich maritime heritage that defines this charming city.

Discover the local charm of Annapolis, affectionately known as “Nap Town.” The origin of this nickname is a mystery. Some speculate it’s because Annapolis is a laid-back and relaxed place to live, offering a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of larger cities. Others believe it’s a nod to the Naval Academy’s demanding training schedules, which can leave midshipmen needing a quick nap between rigorous drills and studies. Whichever story you prefer, the nickname perfectly captures the town’s unique blend of serenity and energy.

During our tour, our knowledgeable guides will provide fascinating insights into the history of each stop and place we pass by, ensuring that you gain a deeper understanding of the places we visit. You’ll hear stories about the founding of the Naval Academy in 1845 and its role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

We’ll stop and visit the U.S. Naval Academy, a prestigious institution that trains future officers for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Known for its rigorous academic programs and strong emphasis on leadership, the academy fosters a tradition of excellence and service.

Then on to the Maryland State House, the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use, dating back to 1772. This historic building, with its distinctive wooden dome, has played a significant role in American history, including serving as the nation’s capital from 1783 to 1784. Plus, much more!
