Historic Group Tours
Our themed tours are a fun, informative, and a scenic way to spend the day. All three take advantage of the rich history few have here on both land and water. The tours include a hop-on guide, three-course lunch, admission to park sites included in each tour and a narrated boat ride on the Thames River in an authentic navy utility boat.
Take a look at the three tours below. There’s something for everyone.
Pricing is based on a minimum of 25 people. For 15- 24 people add $15/pp. A smaller group? Please contact us. More details below.
