Bite of Baltimore · Thames Street Park, Fells Point
Bite of Baltimore's walking food tour of Fells Point, the old shipbuilding port east of the Inner Harbor: 3.5 hours, four tasting stops and a local guide. Pick it for the crab cakes and the cobblestones, with the neighborhood's history served between bites.
You meet your guide at Thames Street Park in Fells Point, at the pergola-shaped hut with the "Thames Street Park" sign, per the listing. From there it is a 3.5-hour walk through one of the oldest neighborhoods in Baltimore, as Visit Baltimore calls it: a shipbuilding port with stone streets and brick rowhouses running down to the water. The tour finishes at Thames St and Fell St, close to where it began.
No boat: this one is on foot from start to finish, so plan a cruise on another day or another slot. The tastings come at four stops, and the listing names Maryland crab cakes with remoulade, crab pretzels topped with crab dip, soft pretzels with mustard and dishes from the neighborhood's mix of kitchens, from Nepalese and Thai to Mexican tacos. One stop pours an alcohol tasting for guests 21 and over. Between the plates, the guide tells the story of Fells Point and Baltimore's part in the War of 1812.
Included, per the listing: food tastings at 4 stops, water, an alcohol tasting at 1 stop for over-21s, and the guide. Not included: gratuities, hotel pickup and umbrellas. The listing marks the tour as not suitable for people with mobility impairments or people under 21: the sidewalks are narrow and historic and the streets are cobblestone. A friendly tip: tell the operator about any dietary needs when you book, as the listing asks, since changes cannot be guaranteed on the day.

★★★★★Tommy was a great, knowledgeable, fun guide. Food, fun & facts were promised & delivered! Great tour.
★★★★★We not only had great food but learned interesting history. Not only was our guide excellent but each server at every place we went was fantastic. The variety of places we went were great. One of the best food tours I’ve ever done.
★★★★★This experience was an exceptional blend of scrumptious nibbles and flavorful drinks blended with colorful tidbits of the rich Fells Point history. Our guide, Tamara, was phenomenal and she is an excellent ambassador for Baltimore tourism. [...]
