About

What’s the best way to see Princeton’s holiday lights and historic sights? Being chauffeured in a warm trolley while an expert guide regales you with fascinating tales, of course!

Princeton’s Palmer Square is no Rockefeller Center. It’s WAY better! Our town green is surrounded by mom-n-pop shops, affordable parking and friendly tour guides eager to show you the sites, all gussied up for the holidays. Plus, our ginormous spruce tree will be illuminated for countless family photos to PROVE you belong in genius country!

Our iconic trolley waits just steps from the Square. Ride in comfort through the picture-perfect neighborhoods of Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Carnegie, Albert Einstein, Robert Wood Johnson, Robert Oppenheimer, F Scott Fitzgerald, Paul Robeson, Toni Morrison, Philip Roth, Michael Graves and bunch of other big shots! Our knowledgeable guides will point out the significant spots and keep you entertained with tales of noteworthy (and notorious) Princetonians, past and present.
