St. Jacobs Walking Tour

Take a Stroll through Historic St. Jacobs on a private group guided walking tour!

St. Jacobs might look like a town frozen in time, but its history tells another tale - this small village blends the modern and traditional but always stays connected to its roots.

St. Jacobs has made a big name for itself, and the story is best told through intriguing local tales: the milling company that pioneered new technology in 1875; the early schoolteacher from Sierra Leone; the woman whose love for books built the library; the horse that delivered the mail for decades and a hardware store that became a nation-wide company.

Our 90-minute guided walking tour is led by locals who know the town best. You will leave feeling happier, healthier and smarter! Or maybe you won’t want to leave!
