He drove so fast i could not see a lot of the things he was pointing out. He was very nice but sometimes it was hard understanding what he was saying. I would have like to have seen some of the historical parts of the “old” Baltimore.

We look forward to sharing Americas great history here in Baltimore!
The tour itself was FANTASTIC! We did it within first two hours in the city, and it was the perfect overview. Ira was not only a great tour guide, but a nice person. This matter due to the fact that the address listed in multiple places on the via tour listing sent us to the wrong starting point, causing us to almost be late for the tour. Once I notified Viator and Ira received the word, he called me himself and offered to pick us up. However, we had already called an Uber so that we would get there as soon as possible.

This tour is an excellent intro to Baltimore city and the surrounding neighborhoods. The guide was great and it was nice not having to walk everywhere, especially in August!

we had a fantastic tour guide (ira) on this experience. what he shared about the city areas we visited was intriguing _and_ fun to learn. this is a "must do tour" from our pov, especially for anyone visiting baltimore for the first time. the bus on which we rode was comfortable seating and air conditioner-wise; which was an absolute plus as on the day we toured it was more than a lil' warm. jaja thanks for the wonderful welcome, ira.

This tour is an excellent overview of what Baltimore has to offer. It made me want to come back! The guide and driver were very professional and knowledgeable as well as very personable. The meeting place at the harborfront Visitor Center was convenient, and the van was clean and comfortable. I had a question after I booked, and got an answer an hour or so later, even though it was after-hours. I an recommend this tour without hesitation.

I really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it. Ira was an excellent guide and was able to share so many fantastic facts and history about Baltimore. If staying in Baltimore I recommend this tour early in your stay to get a great lay of the land and recommendations on sites to see more in depth and even some restaurants to try. Ira does all kinds of tours so I hope to take another one when I’m back in town.

Our tour consisted of four people in the tour guy was outstanding. His name was Ira. He was extremely personable. He gave serious knowledge about the history of Baltimore. He took us to areas of town showed us a lot of places to eat, but also gave us the history. we also ended up at Fort McHenry at the end of the tour. It was excellent. The only problem that I had was, I wasn’t able to give Ira a tip cause I didn’t have any change.
