Princeton in context - Thorough, lots of historical context, up to date and connected to the present, we thoroughly enjoyed Pat’s tour. He was open to questions which made it interactive too!

Terrific Tour! - This was a great way to learn about Princeton and the surrounding neighborhoods. The tour was informative and covered a lot of fun historical stories. Jacqui was a terrific tour guide! She was engaging, kept a great pace, and was very knowledgeable. The earpieces were a game changer! What a wonderful way to stay tuned to the tour while also taking in all of the sights. I highly recommend this tour, especially for first-timers like us.

Excellent tour of Princeton! Highly recommend! - Our tour guide Jennifer R. was absolutely THE BEST! She was engaging, knowledgeable, funny and made the 2 hour tour on a hot summer day one of the most enjoyable tours we have ever been on! She used her ipad to supplement her commentary with photos of people she was speaking about and ABSOLUTELY MADE HISTORY COME ALIVE! Jennifer is passionate about living in Princeton as well as sharing ALL of Princeton’s past and present with those she encounters! Definitely try to get her as your guide!

Excellent experience! - Highly recommend. The tour guide’s use of earpieces was very helpful in moments we were walking by loud traffic. This was a great experience.

Laughing, learning and loving Princeton - It was as good as promised. Full of historical information, trivia and other little known facts relayed by a fun and funny tour guide. I laughed so hard and learned so much. It was also beautiful to be on Princeton campus, in the cathedral and some of the richest and most historic neighborhoods. Two miles of gentle walking so no fear about that folks! Options for bathroom breaks. Do bring water and maybe a hat or sun glasses. Just terrific! Highly recommend.

Beautiful and Fun Tour!!! - Loved this tour. Jackie was our tour guide on Sat May 3, 2025. She knew a ton of interesting history facts and tidbits you don’t learn in history class. She made it fun and everyone had a great time! Thank you Jackie!!

History with a touch of humor! - Mimi, was our tour guide and was incredible. She was a bundle of energy and delivered an immense amount of information with humor and for what seemed like a genuine love for Princeton. She did it so effortlessly you don’t even realize it. She does shamelessly name drop but with a purpose, to give you the real insight on Princeton’s evolution and the community around the school. Highly recommend this if you are fan of history and politics!

Very bad - They did not even answer the text messages and calls. The price is not worth for a walking tour. Very disorganized
