The American Visionary Art Museum

Have you heard of visionary art? Defined as “art produced by self-taught individuals who have not undergone formal training, and the work is based on the inner voice of one’s soul”. Sounds quite complicated? Well, instead of reading about it, charter bus visitors should head over to the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, where many beautiful “raw artworks” are displayed.

The Uniqueness of the Museum

Visionary art is quite unusual, and the way this museum handles its exhibitions are different from what you usually find in other regular art museums. Instead of focusing on a specific type of style or artist, the exhibitions sponsored by the American Visionary Art Museum are based on titles. Some of the exhibition titles that have been hosted at this museum are like “Wind in My Hair”, “The Art of War and Peace”, “What Makes Us Smile”, and the most recent one, “The Art of Storytelling: Lies, Enchantment, Humor & Truth”.

Healthier Ice-Cream from Pitango Gelato

Are you having around Fell’s Point waterfront on a hot summer day in Baltimore? Is your charter bus Baltimore group of travelers longing for some ice-cold beverage or ice-blended drink to get you going? Then head over to one of Baltimore’s Fell’s Point’s Pitango Gelato.
For those who are unsure what a gelato is, gelato quite literally translates to ‘frozen’ in Italian. For Italians, the mere mention of gelato automatically means ice-cream, yogurt or sorbet. The real difference between an Italian gelato and your regular store-bought ice-cream is that normal ice-cream would contain twice the amount of fat and sugar of a gelato.

A Maryland Blue Crab Feast is an Absolute Must


In terms of finding good eats in Baltimore, you can’t go wrong with blue crab hunting. It is as unique as unique goes, frankly speaking and if you look around on the internet, you will most certainly come up with pages and pages of information about how unique Maryland’s blue crab is. In fact, learning about their habitat, where they are found, recipes and then watching videos about how to eat them will enrich your experience when you are right here, enjoying this wonderful delicacy. And we have plenty of those delicious crabs right here, at the heart of Maryland - Baltimore.
We will have you know that blue crab hunting is both serious business and seriously scrumptious at the same time. This amazing species of crabs have been commercially caught and eaten in Chesapeake Bay a long time ago and we are talking to the tune of since 1800s. Ultimately, it has turned into a part of Baltimore’s charm when people come over to the state for a visit. Ask a foodie who has been here in Baltimore if they have ever experienced eating a blue crab, and chances are, they are going to rattle on and on about how unique the experience was. Blue crabs are enjoyed so much that the state of Maryland had to put a cap on how much each person can catch on a daily basis to ensure that there is a balance and this species do not go extinct. The catching can become rather rampant especially during their annual crab harvesting season. In fact, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources religiously conducts surveys during the winter months to estimate the population of these precious crabs.
The locals are, indeed, proud of this culture and they will, in a friendly manner, show you the best way to get the most meat out of your dish. It is not an art and it takes some mastering but....most definitely something you will look forward to doing again on your next Baltimore charter bus rental visit. It is at this time of the year that they are in abundance so, if you are heading over during summer and the beginning of fall, we think you just had a stroke of luck.
Smaller eateries or your local fine dining outlet usually hold traditional feasts which includes some ice cold beer you can enjoy with your family and friends during the vacation. So, if you are coming over to Baltimore in your rented charter bus this end-summer or early fall, go ahead and make a grab for those crab meat. We are sure you are going to agree with us when we say....it is to-die-for.

Their tours will take off from the sidewalk just right outside the Max’s sidebar, located on 731 S Broadway, Baltimore. Before you book any of our charter buses, do remember to first get your tickets for the Baltimore Ghost Tours on their website, though they do have sell some remaining tickets right there on the spot but it will be a first come, first serve basis and they don’t guarantee that they have remaining tickets all the time. So, unless you have already booked your ghost tour tickets online, you risk the chance of being disappointed if you think you can get one of those last minute tickets when you get to the sidewalk where the tour begins.

They have available three types of tickets sold online and it is up to you which type of ticket that you would wish to purchase – depending on your group and the kind of ghost tours that you want to participate in. Whichever ghost tour that you would pick, our Baltimore charter Bus Company will make sure that you will get there on time.

Baltimore Ghost Tours is basically a combination of pub crawling and ghost stories sessions by your designated tour guide. Some participants who were said to be rather skeptical before they joined this tour became less brave after hearing some of the stories told by the tour guides.

As you end the Baltimore Ghost Tour, you will find your faithful Baltimore chartered bus driver waiting for you to bring you home and if you have enjoyed the tour, do plan for another soon!
