Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Washington Monument and Mount Vernon Place, 699 North Charles Street Charles and Monument Streets, Baltimore, MD 21201
Our tour of the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore begins at the city’s Washington Monument: the first monument erected to honor George Washington and it just so happens to be the predecessor to the famous monument that stands on the National Mall in Washington DC. Here we will talk about the history of the neighborhood, its diverse and changing architecture and the modern-day interests that stem from the area.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Mount Vernon Cultural District, MVBA / 1221 N Calvert St, Baltimore, MD 21201
Our next destination is inside the Mount Vernon Marketplace, part of the regrowth of the neighborhood. Inside this former-warehouse is one of the city’s most popular new stops for artisanal food and drinks of all kinds. Your guide will show you to his or her favorite spot and order up a bite for the group to enjoy.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 409 Cathedral St, Baltimore, MD 21201-4450
Soon we will arrive at the Baltimore Basilica, or to use its full name: Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This stately neoclassical building was the very first Roman Catholic Church built in the United States. Conditions permitting, your guide will take you inside the columned entrance to marvel at the domed ceilings, marble and granite construction, prayer chapels and works of art.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Baltimore Urban Adventures, Baltimore, MD 21218
Need one final history and architecture fix? We’ll head back out to see a few more sights before making our way to our final stop for a coffee or tea at a nearby coffeehouse with an international flare. Your guide will happily suggest their favorite cookie to go along with your beverage of choice.
Before you say goodbye, make sure to ask your guide for lunch recommendations in the neighborhood. There’s plenty to choose from!
