Connecticut Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Wonderful piece of history 19 acres so allow plenty of time. Great to see the old ships was amazing. Have a boat trip as well while your there.

So unique; like nothing I’ve ever experienced. We arrived as it opened so the crowd was super low. We were there at least a couple hours to see everything possible. Loved boarding the ship. Adored the little historic village and active artisans like the blacksmith and shipmate climbing rigging and adjusting sails. All the employees have an obvious passion and are wonderful to talk to or ask questions. Gift shop is pricey, but large and with some nice quality items. Overall I recommend this highly for adults and kids who love boats-ships-pirates, etc.

It was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely do it again and I’m 72 years old. The people were extremely helpful. There was no problems from stat to end. Try it. You’ll love it.

Our guide sunshine was delightful! She was so knowledgeable about the history of Mystic she made me want to learn more! She combined her personal spiritual experience with facts about Mystic to make this an enjoyable experience!

AJ is a captivating story teller. Learning about the history of the land and the stories they hold was fantastic. We absolutely would do this again.

Knowledgeable guide, easy & plenty of parking, timely & informative. Most of all, fun! There was something for everyone.

Well this was a pleasant surprise! My husband and I were staying at Foxwoods to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and I was looking for cool things to do. I really didn't know what to expect, but my husband and I do believe in the paranormal. Sunshine met us at the gate of a cemetery wearing a witches costume and carrying a lantern. Using an EMF she took us to different graves throughout the cemetery and told us the history of each spirit. The spirits would respond through the spirit box when spoken of and even when we asked them questions. We learned so much about the history of the battles, the children and adults that were buried there from the 1600. The tour was two hours long and worth every cent. Well done Sunshine! Thank you for making our anniversary trip amazing!!

My husband and I were celebrating our 20th Anniversary at Foxwoods. We checked in and wanted to start our celebration with a bang! Drove over to the Fox Tower and Alex was there to meet us at the desk. He was so helpful answering all my questions before we arrived and even got us in to an earlier zipline. The staff was wonderful and got us ready for our flight. The trip is short but def worth doing!! Recommend for all ages and there is a shuttle bus waiting for you at the end to take you back to the parking lot.

Guide was excellent: personable, knowledgeable, and a good story teller.

Henry was a great guide and had lots of historical facts along with the food and area information. Go hungry because you will get plenty! Lots of time to enjoy the area and sights along the way. Highly recommended.

Nice walk. Curt was very informative, went the extra mile to make our tour fun. Mix of history and sightseeing. Enjoyable! Many places to eat after tour.

The food experience was great as was the tour director.

Amazing. Just go if you have teens! This ended up being an amazing part of our trip to Connecticut.

We were enamored with Sunshine, she was authentic and full of wisdom and stories. We had a wonderful time, exploring Mystic’s history and spirits. This was a truly magical evening.

Good and educational .once I figured out how to operate the app it was a great walking and learning experience

This form of taking tours is the future! Inexpensive and tells you were to go and everything you need to know.
