While it is easy to explore Frederick County on your own, it's occasionally fun to have the benefit of a tour consultant. Guided excursions, which can be enjoyed individually or with a group, run the gamut from adventure outings to winery tours and a wide variety of interests in between. Because of their demand, it is important to call in advance and secure a reservation.
