Our first experience with Princeton Tour Company was the Pub Crawl by trolley organised as a school fundraiser - just the right mix of learning and fun, enjoyed hearing all about our adopted town from Mimi with her passion for Princeton, taking us to the Nassau Club and the Ivy Inn - those other important landmarks! Months later, we took... More

Mimi and the Princeton Tour Company are truly a top notch outfit. We went on a walking tour as part of a teambuilding meeting in Princeton with our company's board of directors and everyone was thrilled. Mimi has so much passion for her tour that it is contagious. Lots of fun facts and stories made the town and gown both... More

We had a tour of Princeton. Lived 6 miles away all my life and never realized that I knew so little about Princeton. The tour guide was excellent. The only thing that I can complain about was that it was in the 90's and very hot. We stopped 3/4 of the way thru. As being a little on the older... More

As part of a recent conference in Princeton we booked Princeton Tour Company to provide a number of tours of the city. Our guide was Mimi. The insights which she was able to provide into the city, its history and its present and former residents were captivating. Mimi's knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for her work were exemplary. I would unreservedly... More

I suggested this tour to me wife based on the reviews, but as I said to her as we were starting the tour and crossing the street in a group........I really don't like being a part of a tour and the dryness of facts that are presented by people whose voice seems like I pressed the play button. I have... More

Mimi's high energy tour of the Campus and select downtown landmarks is a must when you visit Princeton. She is able to effortlessly move from a history lesson to an anecdote to saying Hello to a passing Princeton resident and get him/her involved in the tour, teaching you everything you may want to know about the colour and fabric of...
