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!!

Fantastic experience! - I loved the tour! We did it on April 12th. It was so well prepared and organized. Even after living in Princeton for a year, I discovered so many new and interesting things. Our tour guide was fantastic and kind. Highly recommend the tour.

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!

Awesome Tour! - Mimi is the hostess with the mostest! The “shameless Name Dropping” and the “Patriots Ghost Tour” were fantastic! Mimi is spirited, personable and amusing! These tours are a must for anyone living/visiting the Princeton area.
