We took our fourth grade classes to Annapolis on May 15. It was a fabulous day for all of our students. We had six tour guides lead us through the streets of colonial Annapolis. The guides were dressed in colonial garb, and took us back to the 18th century with their many stories, and historical artifacts that they shared with... More

We went on a 2 hour walking tour with Hanna. It was a wonderful and informative tour. We were able to several sites like the Naval Academy and State House. Hanna interacted with my kids. There were 2 other couples in our group. Make sure you bring ID. More

This is a wonderful way to see Annapolis. Hal Olson is a very knowledgeable guide. He is open to questions and very willing to structure the tour according to one's individual interests. If you are interested in getting a great overview of Annapolis, this is an ideal activity and great exercise. We visited landmarks such as the Naval Academy and... More

The whole experience was extraordinary and the hospitality we received was exceptional. The tour that Watermarks helped me plan was a huge success. Not only did we get to learn more about the beautiful city and history of Baltimore, we also got to ride in style on one of Watermark's pristine boats. Overall we give our tour two thumbs up!!! More

The Watermark "Colonial Stroll" field trip was wonderful! It was easy to get to the tour, and at the end, the buses came right to the dock to pick up the kids. The costumed tour guide led our group through the State House and by other landmarks. She was always pulling out interesting things from her basket to show to... More

We took the boat tour of the Christmas lights around Annapolis - the boat was all decked out with a reindeer nose and lights (the kids loved it!). Hot chocolate was offered and adults could have a shot of peppermint schnapps as an extra. The captain was dressed as Santa and very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We will... More

We were a party of 15 celebrating a landmark birthday. Watermark put together a plan for the big day and then implemented the plan flawlessly. There were several elements -- pick-ups, drop-offs, land then water, then back to land first for a foot tour and then a tour by trolley. Each element was on time, with very skilled operators and...

We went on a walking tour of Annapolis with the Historic Annapolis Foundation in partnership with Watermark Tours. Specifically, we went on the Haunted Ghost Tour. Our guide knew and imparted an amazing amount of information about Annapolis and the local legends; she said that all the stories had been well researched and even told us where to find information...

Debbie Gosselin, Suzy Elcik, Mike Mathias, and Captain Craig Biggs made our trip aboard the Catherine Marie the most successful fundraiser ever for the Severn Riverkeeper Program.

Captain Hanna made our daughters, age 3 & 6, feel like they were both queen for the day. They were selected to model for the other passengers how to put on a life jacket and loved being in the spotlight. Captian Hanna also invited the girls to be "captain for the day" and allowed them to stear the ship. They... More
