Q: What is a Historic Pub Crawl?
A: The Pub Crawl is a 2-hour walking tour (approx. 1/2 mile) to some of the most haunted taverns in Annapolis. Spending about 20 minutes at each location, you'll relax with a cocktail while learning some of our most interesting and colorful history through the tales of our taverns. Drinks are not included in this tour, however each bar usually offers a drink special to our guests; your guide will have the details. This tour is limited to Adults (21+) ONLY! No children.

A: Tipping is acceptable, but not required. That is totally at your discretion. We expect our guides to be highly professional, well-trained, and to entertain you regardless of potential gratuities.
