Brought the history of the city to life! - Don Burgess is a colorful character who had a lot of good stories that brought the history of the town to life. Although this was not the first visit to Frederick for either of us, this tour provided an extensive background for what we already knew about the city and the area.

Wonderful! - I booked the walking tour of Historic Frederick despite the fact that I live in the area and am already familiar with some of the history. I walked away feeling a lot more informed and entertained by Don who is a long time resident and fabulous tour guide.

Nice tour - Don is very knowledgeable and personable! It was only my husband and I on this tour. We had our own personal tour guide 😉 Enjoyed this tour. Allow extra time to walk the Carol Canal Park. Beautiful city!

The walking tour never happened because Don, our tour guide never showed up. We waited 1/2 hour at our meeting spot. - Unfortunately the tour guide never showed up. We waited 1/2 hour and left several messages which he never returned. How do we get reimbursed for this cancellation on Don’s part?
