It was A fantastic tour. I learned a lot of historical facts of Princeton University. I also saw Albert Einstein's house and learn some of the things that were given to him to entice him to come an 'work" for Princeton University. Fantastic trip! at the end of a hot and breezy day doing a 2 hour walk, we had a nice ice cream. There was some flamenco show and I saw some Chinese dragon getting ready to do a show, but unfortunately my family wanted to leave because they were tired.

This was a fast speed 2 hour of getting to know the history of Princeton. Very interesting and fun way of catching up with a city you don’t know. We can warmly recommend the trip. (A lot of US name dropping so you need to know a little US history before making this trip - maybe not for foreigners with no knowledge of US)

Veronica_M

The 2 hour walk is fun and filled with interesting facts about Princeton University or Princeton itself. Be ready to walk fast!

This tour was one of the best tours we have ever taken. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, witty and accommodating to all. She made the experience engaging and fun. The information shared was well researched, informative and very interesting. It was the perfect length and well worth the time and money. We would recommend it highly and can’t wait till next year to do one of their infamous ghost tours!
