The presentation of the history of Prohibition in the Windsor area was entertaining, historical and presented with a large dose of humour.
A most excellent Tour

  I have always wanted to go on a full Rum Runner tour. My daughter took me for my birthday. Having lived in Windsor most of my life I... read more learned many interesting facts about places I have seen many times without knowing the historical aspects. The actors and actresses were amazing. The tour ended with a magnificent meal and some more stories. I had seen the performance before but the whole tour added so much more to it. I highly recommend it to anyone along with their haunted tour or the French Connection tour which explores the area’s rich French history.

We learned so many interesting facts and heard great stories of the gangs and individual bootleggers. Who knew that Windsor had so much interesting bootleg history? We had an excellent lunch at the Rum Runners "Speakeasy" along with a FABULOUS one woman show. Sorry to say but I can't remember the actor's name as we were completely enthralled by her Flapper character and her interactions with the audience. She was hysterically funny and well worth going to see. Thanks Rum Runners - we had a really good time!

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.

Once back at the "speakeasy" hall, we enjoyed a delicious lunch while listening to a band play music from the era.

  I will join the chorus of praise and suggest you put this on your list of must-do things in the Windsor area. I had the opportunity to experience this tour... read more three times recently (for work), and cannot say enough good things about it. From moment one, to the last moment five hours later, you will be delighted, educated, entertained and satisfied in every way possible. The delivery and execution is top-notch, the actors very funny and engaged, and the locations appropriately chosen. Expect to laugh...a lot. I don't want to say too much more and spoil the surprises. Grab a friend, partner, or group and prepare for five hours of outstanding entertainment.

If not we may go back and take the Rum Runners tour again just for the enterainment.
