Every tour is a curated journey through time back to the original 13 colonies. We visit colonial seaports, revolutionary towns, and the exact locations where local legends once walked, bringing the figures of early America to life. Over the course of time, we hope to be able to extend tours across all 13 original states and incorporate other eras of history up to the Gilded Age - either in person or virtually.
What kind of tour experience is it?
We believe history is best experienced on foot, where you can truly "tag along" with the ghosts of the past. To make sure you have the best experience possible, here is a quick guide to your tour experience:
Expert Storytelling: This isn't a dry lecture. Expect deep dives into the scandals of the Gilded Age, the secrets of Revolutionary spies, and the gritty reality of Colonial life.
Small Groups: We keep our groups intimate so you can ask questions and actually see the landmarks we’re discussing.
Photo Ops: Your guide knows the best angles! We build in time for you to capture the perfect shot of the East Coast's most historic spots.
Memories: Every guest receives a specially catered Limited Edition Commemorative Pass to mark the tour. Founders Circle Guests ( at an additional charge on the tour details screen) will also receive a digital 'Field Guide' after the tour, featuring a curated list of further reading, local historic site recommendations, and high-resolution vintage map(s) of the route we walked.
