My friend and I booked James for The Wire tour because we are both big fans of the show. He was very knowledgeable of the city and he pointed out many important filming locations. James also taught us about many historically significant people and events that took place in West Baltimore. Anyone who has seen The Wire is aware that there are some extremely impoverished areas of the city; and that is where the majority of the tour takes place. This was not an opportunity to gawk at the people living in these environments, but to connect iconic scene locations to the real lives that the residents experience daily. I found it to be respectful and informative. Especially the stops to Green Mount Cemetery and the outreach center where Bubbles changes his path. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys the show and has respect for the beauty and pain that comes from living in one of the most economically depressed areas in the U.S.

I ended up taking this tour the day after finding out the actor that played Omar Little passed away. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the city and i got see all the landmarks that were in the series and other important Baltimore landmarks too. I was a little worried at first since it was just him and I during the whole tour but he made feel comfortable and safe in his presence (sent me his license plate, reviews, etc). The lasted about hour and half (maybe 2 hrs) but i really got to see Baltimore outside of the Harbor.

The tour of The Wire locations was really good. James is a local to the Baltimore area and is very knowledgeable about not only The Wire, but also other historical places within the city. The tour is safe— even if you go by yourself. It was very eye-opening to see all of the filming spot and to hear about how the local Baltimore residents perceived the series. He also shows you many of the Freddie Gray riot sites and other historic places. Great tour and very interesting.

Took the 3 hour tour, It was informative.... Hes just getting this off the ground, Would not be surprised if We where 2nd or 3rd Tour he did.Took us to a lot of Sites that weren't advertised like with all that Freddie Gray stuff didn't really have a Interes for that. Hit all the major areas even a sum that I guess some people didn't know about....My wife definitely enjoyed it much more than I did His driving was a little questionable Were it could-be possible that in Baltimore the pedestrians to not have the right away Because in New Jersey you must stop on a dime for pedestrian .....That being said like I said hes just getting it off the ground it was very informative I think 3 hours is a little too long. I wish him well have nothing negative to say, Would recommended if you have 3 hours to kill
