During the first hour of the tour, you'll learn that when it comes to legendary movers and shakers, the town of Princeton has an embarrassment of riches. We never shy away from bragging about them non-stop during our most popular and comprehensive guided tour. On this picturesque stroll, you’ll learn the fascinating history of Princeton University while taking in all the must-see campus sites, including Nassau Hall, Princeton Chapel, Prospect Garden, Blair Hall Rockefeller College and more!

Princeton

During the second hour of the tour, we’ll venture outside the campus gates to visit the homes and hangouts of Albert Einstein, F Scott Fitzgerald, TS Eliot, Paul Robeson, Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland, Robert Wood Johnson and even ‘80’s icon, Brooke Shields, just to name a few! Whether you like to curl up with a history book or the latest issue of US Weekly, this tour has something for everyone.

To say Mimi was a fantastic guide would be an understatement. She is more than passionate about the town of Princeton and incredibly knowledgeable of the town and University. She made the tour incredibly fun and enjoyable and went out of her way to answer questions and offer recommendations within the area. Highly recommend this tour if you are ever in the area.
