Are restrooms available on tour?
Restrooms are always available at the tour starting location, and once again on all tours that exceed an hour and a half.
Will the tour be cancelled if it rains?
Tours are held rain or shine. If the weather is very inclement, e.g. heavy snow or hurricane, the tour may be cancelled. Rescheduling or refunds will be offered in the extremely rare event that the company cancels the tour.
Can photos be taken on tour?
Photos can be taken everywhere with the exception of the colonial kitchen in the Hammond-Harwood House, the Sands House, and in the Jonas Green House. This restriction is requested by the historic homes involved.
Are tours wheelchair and stroller friendly?
Yes, this is true for most tours. The exceptions would be The Sands House, The Grand Houses, and the Green Family Print Shop Tours. These tours cannot accommodate wheelchairs, and strollers must be left outside. On our other tours, the State House can be entered from the lower level where there is use of an elevator to go to main floor. The colonial kitchen involves 3 stairs which present no problem for strollers. Wheelchair participants usually find they can see and hear amply from the doorway of the colonial kitchen.
Why are picture I.D.'s Required?
Pictures I.D.'s are required to go into the Maryland State House and the United States Naval Academy. Several of our tours go into these locations.
