‘Round the Harbor – City Tours with Patty Bawlmer launched in late 2021 as a way for friends to get together and celebrate a birthday after having been cooped up for the better half of the previous two years. After the success of their maiden voyage, Cam and Pat started putting on more tours for others to enjoy. In the process, they’ve continued to refine and expand City Tours, offering customizable and enjoyable experiences for all those who take the tour!

Patty Bawlmer – Creative Director
Born and raised in Bawlmer, the furthest Pat has ever traveled outside of Charm City was on a family vacation to Ocean City in 1998. That was the only time. His dedication to the city is unmatched, in a way similar to Cal Ripkin’s consecutive starts streak at SS for the O’s. However, we think Pat’s feat is a much greater accomplishment.
With decades of personal experiences, Patty is excited to share his vast knowledge with City Tours riders, covering the ins and outs of the city in a way that you could never learn from Wikipedia, Tik Tok, or even (current) District 1 Councilman Zeke Cohen.
Why are there so many row homes in Bawlmer? What’s up with those “greatest city in America” benches everywhere? Why are the rats so large? You’ll learn answers to these questions and so much more when you book your ‘Round the Harbor City Tour with Patty Bawlmer!
Cam Miller – Chief Operations Officer
Cam knows nothing about Bawlmer. He moved to the city during the third week in March of 2020 and soaked in all the sights and sounds the city has to offer during the first few months of his time in town. Just kidding. Nothing was open.
But that didn’t stop him from befriending his neighbor Patty B., who, while they indulged in libations on Cam’s rooftop deck (because all bars and restaurants were closed), shared stories and tales of the great city of Bawlmer.
While city knowledge may not be his forte, Cam does have an insatiable knack for wanting to organize events and bring people together in creative and entertaining ways (that tends to produce no tangible or sustainable income).
As the city and world began to re-open, Cam and Pat cultivated the idea for ‘Round the Harbor tours initially to celebrate Cam’s wife’s birthday. However, after reeling in the success that the initial tour brought, City Tours Baltimore was launched!
