Local Tours
We aim to create a stronger connection with history and a greater appreciation of our present by exploring, with all the senses, what historical life was like. Our tours use remnants of the past - architecture, landscapes, and practices - as the foundation for immersive and authentic historical experiences. When possible, we'll utilize smells, sights, tastes and sounds to enhance the encounter with an era and put into personal context the critical events and influences that still impact us today.
