17 November 2022We had such a good time on this tour. The actors are funny, stuck to the "script", but aren't afraid to ad lib and respond to the audience.

20 June 2022I went on a great Canadian bus tour of Peele island and one of the best parts of the whole trip was the rum runners tour! The actors were fantastic!... read more So interactive, passionate, and convincing. They all told entertaining and realistic stories that captured the soul of the rum runners time. They handed out newspapers set in the decade of prohibition and told fascinating bits of history while we toured historic sites where main events of the prohibition took place. We ate inside of the rock cafe which was staged to look like a vintage speakeasy. The food was incredible and there was live music entertainment and actors pretending to be flappers.
