My husband and I visited The Naval Academy and thoroughly enjoyed our informative tour with Claire! She was extremely knowledgeable and informative. She was patient with any questions people may have had and very friendly. She took her time with our tour and encouraged taking as many photos as you liked. This is a must to do when visiting Annapolis!

We booked a 1-1/2 hour tour and our female guide (her name was Rebecca I think?) was soo soo knowledgeable. Be prepared to walk alot & to include a few stairs. No problem. So much history and the Captains Row included seeing the outside of homes built in 1905 all with beautiful blue and white awnings. so Cool! I recommend booking your tour at 11AM. This allowed us the ability to see 'Live' the Noon Naval lunch formation to include close to 4,000! mid-shipmen all meeting together in formation before their half hour lunch. This is a tradition started to keep track of midshipmen and is an evolution of how troops assembled for roll call during the Civil war. Soo very impressive! WOW! this was a great tour. At the end of our tour, we made our way separately to the crypt of John Paul Jones. Also, on our own, we visited the Naval Academy Museum. Wonderful treasures and worth the visit.

Took some time during a recent trip to tour the Naval Academy. It was great to see the facility, our future generation as they prepare for their service to our country and learn about the traditions that are an integral part of the Naval Academy. Recommend the walking tour to anyone.

Stunning! My daughter is active duty at the Air Force Academy, so we were able to get on base and walk around. Architecture is amazing! We were there at dusk and the shadows played with all the unique features - lions, dolphins, sprites and even the prow of a fictional boat come out of the granite rooflines. So beautiful! A word of caution - it literally took us OVER AND HOUR to find a parking space on campus. If you are are able to park in Annapolis at the garages and walk on (through Gate 1) do so.

Touring a naval academy would not usually be my first choice to do, but I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was. I like all the things mentioned in previous reviews. But I was especially enamored with the handful of homes on the “captains row”. The architecture was beautiful and all the neat details like the house numbers on the ball lights in the center of each porch. It looked like a movie set. Don’t miss it on your tour!!!

We enjoyed the Naval Academy. We took the 90 minute walking tour which was very informative. We also happened to be there during graduation week so we saw the Blue Angels perform! Annapolis is a great vacation!

The U.S. Naval Academy should be on everyone's list when visiting the Annapolis area. We took a 10:30 tour and were so glad we did. One may purchase tickets on line; however, our group of 8 was easily accommodated on a Saturday morning. I recommend watching the video before your tour for some background information and to learn about the rigorous program at the academy. Our guide was interesting and a wealth of knowledge. The campus is beautiful and the granite buildings are well kept inside and out. The chapel is stunning, and the lovely grounds are immaculate.

We loved exploring the Naval Academy. We reserved a walking tour through the visitors center on campus. It was a nice, very informative tour. Note that if you do not have a military ID or a handicap placard you will not be able to park on campus. Street parking is minimal area and you have to pay by app. We had lunch on campus at The Alley on campus and it was delicious and a lovely place to eat.

Better than we anticipated! We walked downtown area to the gate and went through security. There is a museum and gift shop right after security. We then walked around the campus the best we could around rain downpours. It was exciting to see cadets doing their thing. We got to see some of the football team doing warmups on a field. Just a real American experience and proud they serve our country. Our 16 yo daughter was with us and we talked about endless opportunities people can have by joining the Navy.

Wonderful tour. We recommend taking the riding tour ( over sized golf cart car) . Very informative. Makes you feel in awe of the young men and women who make yhe commitment to our country.
