Tour guide in Baltimore Chris R.

I've lived in Baltimore for pretty much my whole life, with the notable exception of the fours years I spent in college at the University of Central Florida. While I was away, I couldn't stop telling all of my new friends about my hometown, but I never imagined then that one day I'd be able to make a living bragging about Baltimore! For more than 15 years I have owned and operated a tour guide and receptive service encompassing the entire Capital Region. Our customers have included international tour operators, cruise lines, group leaders, educators, travel planners, destination marketing organizations, corporate clients, and large-scale conferences and conventions. Throughout my career I've been a vocal advocate for tourism as past chair of the Baltimore Tourism Association and Maryland Tourism Coalition, and current member of the Maryland Tourism Development Board. I've also taught courses in tourism and hospitality as an adjunct professor at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. But my true passion is telling Baltimore's remarkable stories. There is so much more to our city than meets the eye. It's a city filled with exciting history, colorful characters, and vibrant culture. From Babe Ruth to Edgar Allan Poe to Frederick Douglass to Francis Scott Key, some of the most iconic and inspirational figures in American history are connected to Baltimore. Our city is innovative, inspirational, entertaining, and definitely unique. I consider it an honor and a privilege to share our stories with guests from around the world. I invite you to join me as we explore our past, enjoy the present, and celebrate a bright future! Chesapeake Bay Storytellers (2023) MD Office of Tourism & National Park Svc.
