Terrific and quick-paced - Jaqui pack so much into a two hour tour. Bring good walking shoes, because you’ll be on the move. Jackie has an encyclopedic knowledge of Princeton as well as a great collection of anecdotes. Can’t recommend this one highly enough.

Terrific Tour! - This was a great way to learn about Princeton and the surrounding neighborhoods. The tour was informative and covered a lot of fun historical stories. Jacqui was a terrific tour guide! She was engaging, kept a great pace, and was very knowledgeable. The earpieces were a game changer! What a wonderful way to stay tuned to the tour while also taking in all of the sights. I highly recommend this tour, especially for first-timers like us.
