History isn’t just in textbooks, it’s written in the shadows of the places we walk every single day. And in those places we can visit in our backyards.
​This July, slip behind enemy lines with Tag Along Tours East for a deep dive into the high-stakes world of Revolutionary War espionage. In the late 1700s, the Long Island Sound wasn’t a peaceful waterway; it was a hotbed of midnight raids, double agents, warships, and secret codes.
​We’ll trace the footsteps of real people who risked everything, exploring how regular citizens in Connecticut and New York became the eyes and ears of George Washington’s secret network. From the brilliant deception of the Culper Spy Ring to acts of daring sabotage that changed the course of the war, this casual historical tour balances hard research with the thrilling legends and lore of the East Coast & CT.
​Whether you’re a die-hard history buff or just love a great story, grab your walking shoes and tag along to uncover the secrets hidden right in our backyard.
