Frederick

Welcome to Frederick

Less than an hour from Washington DC, Baltimore, and Gettysburg, Frederick is called the Crossroads of Maryland. An important Native American trail junction long before 18th century European settlers arrived, Frederick was founded by German immigrants in the mid-1700s. The town has a rich history from colonial times through the Revolution, the region saw much action during the Civil War, and many houses, churches, and other period buildings remain. The Monocacy National Battlefield is nearby, and the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in the historic downtown recalls the period when wounded soldiers from the battles of South Mountain and Antietam were cared for in Frederick.

Outstanding Instructor and an Amazing Experience

Montgomery Indoor Skydiving Experience with 2 Flights & Personalized Certificate
RonG443, Jul 2026
Outstanding Instructor and an Amazing Experience
We had an exceptional experience at iFLY thanks to our instructor, Ethan.I am an experienced flyer and brought my two grandsons, ages 10 and 12, so they could continue learning indoor skydiving. This was only their second time flying, and Ethan’s talent as an instructor was immediately apparent.We purchased five minutes of block time for each boy, divided into three sessions. By the end of their flights, Ethan had both boys maintaining a stable belly-neutral position and performing controlled turns. Their progress in such a short amount of time was remarkable.Ethan was patient, encouraging, professional, and extremely safety-conscious. He explained each technique in a way the boys could easily understand and adjusted his coaching to fit their individual needs. It was amazing to watch his instruction click with them and see their confidence and skills improve during every session.We were thoroughly impressed and plan to continue their training with Ethan. He is a gifted instructor and a tremendous asset to iFLY. I highly recommend requesting him, especially for younger or newer flyers.

The tour is really worth it. The itinerary is well designed and focuses on wonderful scenic spots and ample breaks while riding in a comfortable van. If you have limited time, going on this tour is the best way to go. Alp made sure we had a safe trip and is a wonderful guide. He gave us tips on the best spots to watch out for and was very respectful and professional during the entire tour.

Fascinating tour of Harper's Ferry!
The history of Harper's Ferry was brought to life by our guide Mike! He was extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects of this historic town, including John Brown, the Civil War, race relations and local industry. For two and a half hours he kept us fully engaged. The time was well spent.

Highly Recommend Audio Tour
The audio for the tour was easy to hear and paced just right. The directions to each location were easy to follow, and the geolocation was spot on as we proceeded to each location. Having the ability to also read the the narrative and directions was very helpful. The map was also very helpful. Overall, I really liked the app and the walking tour. I highly recommend. As for purchasing when traveling with a group, I purchased for each person in my group (2 parents and 4 adult kids), but I was the only one who played the audio on my phone. Everyone just listened to mine. The upside of doing a self guided audio tour is that you can take detours at any point. We stopped for lunch and did some extra walking over the bridge and along the river. You also do not have to try to get to the front of a large group to hear a tour guide.

Great tour experience of Philadelphia and New York
The tour is well worth the price. It was well paced, with thoughtfully chosen stops that made the most of participants’ time. Johnny was an excellent tour guide, highly engaging and generous in sharing his knowledge of Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, DC. He switched seamlessly between English and Chinese and was consistently attentive to the needs of the group. He ensured everyone was comfortable during the entire trip and kept the tour on schedule, allowing us to move smoothly through the itinerary. Keiko also did a wonderful job guiding us through New York on our walking tour while sharing information on sites along the way in both English and Chinese.

Growing up in Baltimore and having spent time in Frederick over the years, never occurred to me to go on a tour but my mom, sister, cousin and I went on Don’s tour today and had the best time. We learned so much and it was delivered in a really memorable way. Don has such a fun personality, he made us laugh but also clearly has a lot of love for Frederick which comes out in his stories and made us appreciate the experience even more. The time flew by and we were all very glad we did it:)
