bus trip
rum runners tour very interesting, informative and fun. The effort put in by the entertainers was superb They are right into their rolls. My favourite was the fire and brimstone minister in the church in the pulpit and in the right spirit.
Totally enjoyed and recommended highly.
This is a must for those in the area or visiting.
Highly Entertaining.
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 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.
So glad you enjoyed yourself. Some of our customers want to be educated on local history, some want to be entertained and some just want some good laughs and a great meal. Sounds like we succeeded.

5 hours of fun
This was one of the most fun events I have ever experienced. The actors were exceptional. The buffet lunch was delicious. We learned more about Prohibition, also. It is something I wouldn’t mind participating in again. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day, too. You really should do this tour. We went with Great Canadian Tours.

Rum Runners Tour
We all had an awesome time. A lot of laughter intertwined with local history. The actors were superb and really drew us into their story. Bertha the flapper was hilarious and had us laughing so hard our faces hurt. Great food for lunch. Overall a fabulously fun and entertaining time.
So glad you had a good time. Thanks for letting us share your day.

Brilliant
Our bus tour was lucky enough to be on the Rum Runners Tour and from the time Benny, The Weasel and Yorkie joined our bus, dressed in full 1920's mobster/rum runner clothing, it was fun and laughter for the next few hours. 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!
Best Tour in Town
We were on a bus tour with Denure Tours and the actors in the presentation were at various locations in the city. The first pair got on our bus at the hotel and proceeded to set the stage for the Prohibition play. They stayed with the group until we ended the tour at the 'speakeasy' for lunch.
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
Thank you. We try to provide an educational experience as well as entertaining. Glad you enjoyed both.

Excellent Tour
The tour was very inclusive of that time in history. I was interested because my grandmother was a ‘rumrunner’. The places we stopped and the people on the tour dressed in kind. The talks and small skits were well done. Highly recommend when visitors come to Windsor
So glad you enjoyed the full experience. We pride ourselves on the fact that the story we tell is documented history but also that we create a lot of laughter and fun.

Rum Runners Tour
The Rum Runners Tour was very enertaining and informative. It was a lot of fun from the first moment we boarded the restored trolley to the great dinner we had at the Speak Easy. The cast was fun and we had a lot of laughts.The Wolfhead Distillery gave us a sampling of some of their delicious vodka and whiskey and a tour of how they make them. I would highly recommend their tour to anybody for a fun afternoon outing.
Interesting
I didn’t know what to expect. I can’t give it my highest rating because I felt like the actors tried too hard, with the exception of the woman from the temperance society and Bertha. Benny- you don’t have to tell us your using big words....we know. Yorkie, first time you interrupt is cute at best— the rest of the time it’s just annoying.
The weather was perfect, not too warm but the bus got stifling. At least open the emergency hatch to cool things off when group is off the bus.
Wolfhead was great.
Lunch delicious. Fingers, a great talent. But Bertha- you were hysterical. Loved you. Wow. Let’s rub noses !!!!!
Rum Runners Tour
The entire tour was very entertaining. The actors were super, super good, especially the flapper at the Speakeasy. We learned much more than we expected. Just wanted to thank all of them for the superb job they do.
Great Canadian Tour - Rum Runner Tour Aug 1,2019
Great time, learned about the prohibition, lots of laughs, lunch was very tasteful. Wolfhead Distillery as very informative.
Excellent!
The entire tour was educational and entertaining! We went with another couple and all 4 of us gave the tour 2 thumbs up! The characters actually took you into the history and life style of prohibition and did so in manner that held your attention and kept you smiling!
So glad you enjoyed yourselves. We take great pride in representing the people from that era and telling their stories.

So much Fun!
What a great tour from start to finish. Educational, entertaining & funny. The actors did a superb job & the food was good! Have to thank Yorkie (one of the characters) for being such a thoughtful & caring individual. I had a friend who was just diagnosed with cancer & unfortunately could not come on the tour. I asked Yorkie to say hi to her while I took a video of him which he did so willingly. To my surprise, at the end of the tour, on his own accord he asked the whole group to say hi to my friend and wish her well while I took the video! Yorkie, Thankyou so much for being so kind & thoughtful! My friend loved it.
Top Notch in every way!!
I've lived most of my life in and around the Windsor area, but I did not know much about the prohibition era and what went on. Wow, what an education today was! Such an excellent tour. The actors were fantastic -- they know their parts perfectly. Easy to understand, and so much information shared! The sampling at Wolfhead Distillery was very nice, and the other stops were great as well. I enjoyed the hot lunch buffet back at the 'Speak-Easy' along with the entertainment there! Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike!
Surprisingly educational and entertaining.
Wasn't sure what to expect upon joining the tour. However the cast of characters were fun, entertaining and provided great insights into the rum running era. The meal was also unexpected and of a reasonable quality. The speak easy set was a perfect way to end the afternoon.
A Great Authentic Tour,
On a recent visit from Scotland to friends, they managed to get us on this Fab tour , the actors made it great fun , it was great value for money, with a nice lunch and great fun entertainment , we just loved it , Thanks to the fab Actors
Rum Runners Tour
This tour was well-done and fun. The information relayed was about the prohibition era of the 1920's. All of the actors were excellent, the presentation had many comical moments and the "speakeasy" visit and lunch were both entertaining and yummy.
