Trolley is lovely, tour...

Heather_R, Nov 2025
Trolley is lovely, tour is very informative. The young actors did a phenomenal job. However, the windows constantly fogged up, the windows needed to be open so at least the driver could see. And in order to see some of the stops the door had to be open. It was below freezing with the windchill, and when one passenger commented, the guides response was well there normally are not windows so consider yourself lucky. Enjoyed the tour but the experience could have been better

Fun and interesting tour

Jonathon was a very knowledgeable tour host. Didn’t miss a beat. The “characters “ that came onto the trolley were very interesting as well.

Great experience

Marianne_B, Oct 2020
The tour guide shared a lot ghost and historical stories. Stopping at the cemetery and insane asylum was surreal. Our tour guide had a great sense of humor and he shared a lot of history. This was our first time in Kingston and we learned a lot.

A very fun and informative night, thank you Heather!
