Princeton Tour Company offers guided weekend public walking tours, private corporate team building events, school tours, trolley tours, active senior excursions, seasonal ghost hunts and cemetery visits and self guided tours with themed picnics everyday!
For 16 years running, our signature public walking tour has been the #1 Princeton attraction on TripAdvisor. Impressive, right? The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Washington Post have all written about it. Spoiler alert… they all say it’s awesome! Learn about everything that makes Princeton the most treasured Ivy League town!
Princeton is haunted, and these guided paranormal tours during October prove it! If you want to be startled by garish ghouls in plastic masks, go elsewhere! This is Princeton, certified brainiac territory so be prepared for a “quintessentially Ivy League” experience!
Enjoy a themed Einstein picnic for two while learning about Time’s Man of the Century! There’s a secret plaque on campus revealing details about Einstein? Albert got lost in his own neighborhood? Einstein’s brain was stolen? All true and we’re just getting started!
Enjoy a red, white and blue themed picnic for two and see all sorts of locations including where Alexander Hamilton shot that famous cannonball and Princeton’s Tea Party (you read that right, Princeton heard about the Boston moment and put their own spin on it). All true and that’s not the good stuff! !
Imagine snacking on real movie theater popcorn and fountain drinks while directing yourself with our self guided map to the iconic “movie sets” on Princeton University campus and the surrounding town. Watch clips of your favorite scenes, see the homes and hangouts of Princeton’s greatest performers and directors! Can you say Oscar worthy or what?
Just like Princeton evolves and grows, so do our tours. We’ve completely redesigned our most popular experience with an expanded route taking you deeper into Princeton’s neighborhoods. Even repeat guests will be wowed!
This was a fun way to spend an hour. The tour guide was sooooo entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable...the neighborhoods were beautiful...we live locally and knew NONE of the stories or facts learned during the tour. Very easy to book and boarding was prompt and organized. Would consider other tours after enjoying this one so much.
– Terry B.This tour is a must for first time Princeton visitors. Easily walk through highlights of university and then local neighborhoods. Tim’s story telling around the history, architecture and famous students and/or residents was captivating and fun! Even if you’ve visited Princeton before, don’t miss this tour!!!
– Pat C.We had a great time learning about Princeton, the city we just moved to. Tim, our tour guide, did a very good job telling us stories about influential people in Princeton, including his favorite person of all: Albert Einstein. Thank you!
– Sandra L.Jen was terrific! From the minute we started til the end of the tour, she really knew her stuff. My husband (who attended Princeton) was really impressed with her knowledge of history and how to relate if to the present day. Best name-dropping tour ever! Highly recommend this walk for anyone interested in this area.
