What To Expect

Princeton University

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.

Run do not walk to the Princeton walking tours! Our tour hosted by a transplant from Nashville was informative, good fun with new appreciation for the town and university. They guided us through history, architecture, a litany of famous residents and students cutting through the elitist legacy emphasizing how the modern day university is making up for the mistakes from their past. The university provides a world class education to the most diverse and inclusive student population ever accumulated on a college campus. Send your friends and family, take the tour yourself. It’s two wonderful hours in the center of the universe!

So enjoyed the tour of Princeton on Oct. 1, 2022. Our guide Jen was fantastic and deserves a special thanks for talking louder than normal (to accommodate my extremely hard of hearing dad). Jen has a great personality and is full of knowledge. In the middle of our tour a Princeton student came up to Jen to say thank you and how much he enjoyed the tour he took with her last year. Also he wanted to let her know that it was her tour that persuaded him to pick Princeton as his number one choice. Would recommend this tour to everyone. Great way to spend the day!
