Naval Academy Tour Guide Service

Great tour of the Academy led by the former Director of Admissions. He was phenomenal. Good length at about 45 minutes. Entertaining anecdotes speckled in. Cost $ 9.50 for adults.

A great comprehensive tour with «Ron»
Very knowledgeable tour guide who definitely seems to hold a soft spot for the academy. He practically glowed when he informed us that his son had attended and how difficult the cirricula really is both mentally and physically.
Ron was able to answer all of our random questions and definitely upbeat about showing us around, even though we were probably his last tour of the day.
The academy itself is pretty large and absolutely gorgeous. We went on a Saturday though and there was definitely a lack of activity going on since most people (and by people I mean people dressed in naval uniforms) seemed to be out and about on the weekend. It would have been pretty cool to watch midshipmen practice judo or one of the other million things they seem to be required to do.
There was a wedding going on at the chapel and it was kinda cute to watch the bride and groom come out of the church and get a sword salute :) However, due to the wedding, we weren’t able to enter the church and look at the beautiful stained glass windows (6 of which are supposed to be orginal tiffany’s)
Note — dont’ forget to bring your driver’s license to get onto the grounds. I’m not sure what happens if you did forget though… hm.
