historical tour

Guided past exploration

A historical tour is a guided visit to places of historical significance, where a guide explains the events, people, or architecture connected to each location.

Walking tours through old city centers, battlefield tours, and visits to historic homes all qualify.

The term also covers audio-guided experiences: We downloaded a historical tour of the French Quarter.
