zippy tours : what other people say
Any tour company can say they are the best.
At Zippy Tours, however, we let past clients and independent organisations speak for
us.
praise for Zippy Larson and Zippy Tours
From Fodors
Travel Guides website:
...Energetic, irrepressible Zippy Larson is by far the city's most engaging tour
guide. She offers many different tours with historic, cultural, and architectural
themes. Zippy's witty, well-researched tours take you outside the tourist bubble.

In the July 1998 issue of Baltimore
Magazine, Zippy received a Best of Baltimore award for the "Best
Nooks and Crannies tours".
...Zippy Larson leads natives and visitors alike around Baltimore, pointing out
anything from a terrific neighborhood bakery to a well-preserved example of Georgian
architecture or the home of a local notable.
She fills tours with facts, anecdotes, strong opinions, and a dose of local politics.

From the Baltimore Sun:
...Zippy Larson did not acquire her nickname thanks to her energetic personality.
But this talkative dynamo with the crisp dark curls has a character to match the handle.
"I have always had this terrific urge to get away from the tourist areas and go find
a little street or pathway, or a little shop somewhere.' And when she started her
tour business, her goal was to take visitors beyond the established sights of the
Inner Harbor.
She does not do a bakery tour. But when she pulls into a reporter's driveway on a
Saturday morning, that's exactly what she has in mind. She has zeroed in on the best
neighborhood bakeries and has had ample opportunity to sample home-baked wares and
soak up home-town atmosphere. And now she intends to share five of her favorite finds.
'Look at the baker,' she says, craning her neck to get a peek into the back room.
'This is just what bakers look like in story books.'
From the City Paper, Baltimore:
...[Zippy] hooked up with the Smithsonian Resident Associate Program, which sets
up tours for its members, many who are already well-versed in American history and
are looking for off-the-beaten-path views of Baltimore/Washington-area communities.
Karen Gray, local tours manager for the Smithsonian program, emphasizes the fact that
the information learned on Zippy's tours can't be found in tourist brochures.
From the Columbia Flyer
...tours that go from the hustle bustle of the Inner Harbor into the nooks and
crannies of Baltimore neighborhoods.
