I Love Baltimore Personal Tours · Inner Harbor
A private two-hour van tour for your group only, up to 12 people, from the Visitor Center or your hotel: Little Italy, Mount Vernon, Edgar Allan Poe's grave, the B&O Railroad Museum and Federal Hill, then 20 minutes at Fort McHenry. Book it when you want the city explained at your own pace, for one price per group.
This is the private version of the same company's small-group neighborhoods tour. For one price per group of up to 12, you get a guide and a van for about two hours, and the listing offers pickup as well as the meeting point in the lobby of the Baltimore Visitor Center at 401 Light St. The route passes Little Italy, the Mount Vernon cultural district, Edgar Allan Poe's grave, the B&O Railroad Museum and Federal Hill, then stops at Fort McHenry. Bottled water is included.
The fort stop is 20 minutes, and you get out at the visitor center. That covers the free museum or the 10-minute film and a look at the star fort, not a visit inside it. The star fort costs $15 per adult aged 16 and over (under 16 free), sold only by the National Park Service at the visitor center desk or on recreation.gov. Since the tour is private, ask the guide when you book whether more time at the fort is possible; the listing itself promises 20 minutes.
The maths works for groups. At $220 per group, six people pay under $37 each, less than the shared tour's $48 a head. For a couple, the shared tour is much cheaper. Reviews are thin: 10 reviews, all five stars, only one of them visible on Viator.
Meet in the lobby of the Baltimore Visitor Center at 401 Light St, or ask for pickup when you book.
East to the brick streets of Little Italy, then north to Mount Vernon and the Washington Monument.
Past Edgar Allan Poe's grave at Westminster Hall and the B&O Railroad Museum, where American railroading began.
Up to the hill above the harbor for the view of downtown.
Out at the visitor center for the free museum, the film or a look at the star fort from outside the fence.
The van returns to the meeting point after about two hours.
★★★★★We had a fantastic tour of Baltimore with Ira. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about "Charm" City. Very friendly and thorough.
★★★★★Ira was the perfect tour guide! He also gave us a great dinner recommendation that was incredible. We enjoyed this tour very much.

No. Viator marks the stop as free because the grounds and visitor center are free. The star fort is $15 per adult aged 16 and over (under 16 free), sold only by the National Park Service.
Up to 12. The $220 is per group, not per person.
Pickup is offered on the listing. Otherwise you meet in the lobby of the Baltimore Visitor Center at 401 Light St, and the tour ends back there.
