I thought Mimi did a wonderful job, not just delivering that facts (and some interesting little known ones at that!) but her delivery was humorous and well-paced. The two hours flew by. More

I was very scepticle about this tour. I've lived in NJ for about 23 years and didn't think that I would find value in a tour of an NJ city. I was wrong!!! The tour was awesome! Filled with fun facts and history that I had no idea about. I was very impressed with the knowledge our tour guide possessed... More

What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon! A tour with Mimi is filled with facts and fun. She is so knowledgable - but not if a stuffy "I know so much about Princeton" way - more a "Wait 'til I tell you what was going on here back then" way! Mimi was wonderful and the pace of the... More

The Princeton Tour Company's two hour walking tour was so enjoyable. Each person is furnished with a gizmo and ear piece so that you can easily hear everything the tour guide is saying. HINT - if if you have small ear canals and always have trouble with ear buds, bring your own. Anyway, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, funny,... More

Even if you think you know Princeton, you don't, unless you know Mimi. I have never had a more pleasurable, informative and fun tour anywhere! You may think there are more interesting places to tour than Princeton, but wherever that place is, they don't have Mimi. So go ahead, have fun, and take the tour. You won't be disappointed. More

Mimi took a group of 20 of us, give or take, on a walking tour/pub crawl of Princeton on a Friday evening. I figured the pub crawl part would be fun, but was pleasantly surprised at just how much knowledge of Princeton Mimi had. She was one of the best tour guides I have ever had. She was fun, energetic,... More

What a fabulous, informative and entertaining tour!! Mimi, our tour guide, had all the inside scoops and one story was better than the next! She was knowledgeable about all the intricacies of Princeton and has obviously charmed her way into the inner circles! You'll understand when you meet her, that she probably had no trouble doing that! The tour was... More

There were four of us who joined the tour Saturday, and we all loved it! Mimi is fantastic, & we couldnt figure out how she holds so much information in her head. Even if you think you know Princeton, you don't, it's worth your while to take this tour,and bring your friends and family. Mimi you are a wonder. :-)... More

Mimi offers an incredibly fun, casual yet professional tour! She is so knowledgeable, gets to know her group and clearly tailors to the group she is with. Really fun way to see the town. More

This was a GREAT tour! It was a little over 2 hours of walking, which is great to get that much need fresh air and exercise - we were able to see all the big oints on campus as well as a few off campus. The guide, Mimi, was very energetic and knowledgable about the campus and it's history. She... More
