Our Trademarked “Quintessentially Princeton” Team Building Experience

• T his one-of-a-kind experience is  designed to be entertaining, interactive and just the right amount of COMPETITIVE!    Teams are assigned at the beginning of the event.  As the group walks through Princeton campus, learning the fascinating history, the tour guide spontaneously creates mini competitions related to the content.  (Don’t worry, you don’t have to be Ivy grad to win the competition!  Sometimes it’s a clever multiple choice question and other stops require a myriad of activities requiring photo and video challenges. ) 
• These events are not canned  – they are customized for each company, industry and group participants.   Our guides research your company’s history and create customized content along with little known facts about Princeton!  (Did you know a Princeton professor invented the Olympics?  TRUE!  Did you know Princeton has more Nobel Prize Winners than any other 2 square miles on earth?  TRUE! ….. we’re competitive like that!)
• These events can begin and end at iconic Princeton restaurants …….. like F  Scott Fitzgerald’s speakeasy or the favorite hang out of Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland and JFK or the pub where Einstein carved his initials.  You get it ….. these events deserve that trademark!

5 Star Walking & Riding Tours

• These tours rank us the #1 Attraction on TripAdvisor and were featured in the Washington Post, New York Times and Chicago Tribune.
• Private Walking Tours:  Groups can enjoy a two hour walking tour of Princeton University campus – including Nassau Hall, Princeton Chapel, Prospect Garden, Rockefeller College and Einstein’s neighborhood – including the homes and hangouts of Albert Einstein, TS Eliot, F Scott Fitzgerald, Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland and MORE!.

• These are perfect events for allowing guests to experience Princeton before or after dining out.  If your group needs assistance finding transportation, hotel and dining accommodations, we can help!

Our Most Popular Battlefield Tour ….  

The goal is simple …. get your team laughing, learning, and having an overall amazing time together on a pivotal Revolutionary battlefield.  

We’ve continuously worked behind the scenes to add this experience among our most memorable team building offerings:

• Super funny history nerds as your private guides 
• “Behind the scenes” look at the Princeton Battlefield’s best kept secrets
• We seriously think, back in the day, George would have booked this experience

Not only will your group learn more than they could imagine, we’ll bring some wild stories that rarely get coverage on this pivotal field ……  George’s personal assistant had a full-on panic attack?  A British commander rode a pony to annoy the patriots?  One death during this field inspired your favorite romantic movie?  ( All true and that’s not the even close to the good stuff!)

Inquire early for your team to celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial Celebration!  

(Don’t worry …… we didn’t know what Semiquincentennial meant either ….. it’s the 250th Anniversary of the 1776 US Independence.  It’s also called Sestercentennial or Quarter Millennial but now we’re just showing off!) 

• Highly interactive and dynamic education modules to improve your teams’ leadership skills
• Revolutionary War Expert as your private guide
• Storytelling with a wider cultural lens with emphasis on DEIB and team dynamics
• Opportunity to customize modules toward specific corporate goals

• Our administrative team will help you select the perfect combinations of pubs and restaurants while matching your group with the perfect tour guide!
• These events normally start at an iconic Princeton pub or bar then a short walk to Princeton University campus toward as midway stop.  After everyone is ready to venture out again, we take a short walk through Einstein’s neighborhood and end at a final dining destination.
• Einstein’s brain was stolen?  The first curve ball was invented in a Princeton dorm room?  Princeton has more Nobel Prize Winners than any other 2 square miles on earth?  True and that’s not the good stuff!

Sweet & Savory Discovery Tours

Princeton isn’t just known for its brainiac residents and tree-lined streets.  We also have a vibrant food scene that’s as diverse as our community!  Locally roasted coffee, freshly baked croissants, inventive appetizers by a James Beard Award-nominated chef… You’ll want to try it all, but how can a day-tripper possibly choose, especially when they’re so busy exploring the history-rich town?

Our Sweet & Savory Discovery Tours will lead you through the heart of downtown Princeton as you follow clues to pick up picnic supplies or grab seats at some of our finest establishments to sample their best bites. Along the route, you’ll learn about the town, its famous residents and pause at the exact spots where history happened.

This traipse through town is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and your thirst for knowledge.  (Priced at $45 pp)

F. Scott’s Night on the Town

As a part-time scholar and a full-time bon vivant, this jazz-age Princetonian knew the recipe for a good time: mix one-part business with two-parts pleasure. That’s about the ratio of learning to libations with this weekday evening jaunt through town ending with gourmet fare at F Scott Fitzgerald’s speakeasy.  (Priced per event)

Private Ghost Tours/Hunts

• Treat your team to a “life bucket” event! Your guests will be led by trained ghost hunters through Princeton campus using dowsing rods, therma-meters and EMF Meters to prove Princeton is haunted!   After the spooky fun, guests will be escorted into the locked cemetery to see the gravestones of Aaron Burr, Jr., Grover Cleveland, Nobel Prize Winners and even the wealthiest student to attend Princeton!

Reenactors, A Capella Groups, Speakers and More!

• We can customize your event to make the most of your visit to Princeton!

Secret Supper Clubs

• Princeton historic properties are normally closed to public groups unless you’re with us! Planners choose between a cocktail reception inside the home of a Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Grover Cleveland’s Gun Room, Robert Wood Johnson’s mansion or Einstein’s Smoking Room.
• Guests then enjoy a walking or riding tour of the Princeton campus, Einstein’s neighborhood, Princeton’s Western Section, where two United States Presidents, countless tycoons, inventors and Nobel Prize Winners called home. The stroll ends with a sumptuous meal inside another secret club or fine dining establishment in downtown Princeton.

The Super Sparkly Private Event You’ve Heard Everyone Whisper About For the C-Suite Set

• This super sparkly, super discreet event is perfect when you need a private dining event that is out of this world! (Yes, you’re really going to dine with Nobel Prize Winners in their natural habitat!)

#1 Tour in Princeton on TripAdvisor

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

What are the benefits of owning vs. renting?

Owning a home can help you build equity, offers tax deductions and fixed monthly payments, and gives you a sense of permanence. When you rent, your lease sets the price, your place isn’t really yours, and there are no tax benefits or financial freedom. There are many benefits to owning a home that you can’t get with renting.
