Great Experience. A Must Do Activity! - What an engaging, funny, interesting tour! Dont hesitate to experience this. We learned so much while laughing the whole while. We'd recommend this tour to out of state visitors and even locals, being sure nothing about the area, modern culture, and rich history are missed.

Fantastic Tour of Princeton - The “name drop tour” was a great way to learn about the history of Princeton and the famous people that traveled its streets. Our guide Jennifer was informative, humorous, and all around entertaining. She ensured the 2 hour walking tour was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend!

Funny and educational! - We wanted to do a day trip and explore the city of Princeton. This tour helped us understand the history of the town and the history of the University. The two hours flew by and we learned so much about what makes Princeton unique. Our guide was super helpful, lots from using anecdotes as well as some personal touches, which made for a memorable experience.
