On the drive home, it’s time to challenge kids (and parents!) with a fun quiz about what you’ve learned - Every kid who tries, gets a prize!

Saw all the sites on this private tour!

Perfect tour for multi-generational families that prefer a tailored, customized experience. We appreciated the option to determine how long we stayed in a certain place, and enjoyed being a small group to get in, out, and around places. Jenny was an incredible historian. Super knowledgable about the city, its history, and the academic institutions. It was the best tour!
