A Unique and Entertaining Experience
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Watermark’s “Weird Wacky, and Unusual History Tour of Annapolis.” Our guide, Squire Curtis, was exceptional. He was very engaging and shared many interesting and strange, but true, stories about historic Annapolis. He also interjected many humorous factual tidbits making for an informative and entertaining experience. I highly recommend this Watermark tour.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Weird, Wacky, and Unusual History of Annapolis Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Annapolis.
How much does Weird, Wacky, and Unusual History of Annapolis Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Annapolis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Weird, Wacky, and Unusual History of Annapolis Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Annapolis is not rushed.
Is Weird, Wacky, and Unusual History of Annapolis Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Annapolis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Weird, Wacky, and Unusual History of Annapolis Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Weird, Wacky, and Unusual History of Annapolis Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Weird, Wacky, and Unusual History of Annapolis Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Annapolis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Annapolis and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Weird, Wacky, and Unusual History of Annapolis Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Annapolis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Annapolis?
+
Annapolis, MD packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Annapolis by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Annapolis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tipsy History Tour: 300+ Years of Annapolis Drinking History, Historic Annapolis Food Tour, Annapolis Historic Walking Tour: Harbor and Colonial Downtown. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Annapolis?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Annapolis, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Annapolis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
