01 — About

The brief.

Kingston Trolley Tours runs five seasonal trolley products from the Visitor Information Centre at 209 Ontario Street in Kingston, Ontario. The flagship Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley runs daily May 9 through October 12 on a 75-minute, 9-stop loop connecting Kingston's museums, historic sites, Fort Henry, and Kingston Penitentiary. A 60-minute City Tour fills the shoulder seasons (April 18–May 8, October 13–November 1) and the summer evenings between June 27 and September 7. A 90-minute Ghost & Mystery Tour, a 2-hour Fall Colours Tour to Fort Henry and the Kingston Mills locks, and a 75-minute Christmas Light Tour with elf-and-driver guides round out the calendar. K-Pass bundles include trolley tours, 1000 Islands Cruises, museum admission, and dining discounts. The fleet of seven trolleys seats 26–32 passengers each, with three wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
