Discover cool things to do
in Kingston

It was my first time in Kingston and my first time at Fort Henry. The fort was very cool to see especially at night. The guide did a good job however she was nervous and it seemed like she was fairly new to doing it. I do believe that practice makes perfect and the only way to get better is to keep doing it. So keep going.

Amazing! I love this company. With the dumpster fire going on below Canada, I had to cancel my trip to Rolling Hills Asylum in NY because I don't want to be disappeared by the current fascist administration...lol, but not lol. I did 3 events in Kingston with this group. None were disappointing, and I was actually glad I made such a fabulous discovery in my own country. The first event was a special paranormal investigation at the Mill of Kintail. This was an incredible experience. I did get put into a group instead of being allowed to investigate on my own, which was not the most fun. I felt like I was a fourth wheel and had to go along with what everyone wanted, which was to rush through a lot of things. We did get to see a film at the beginning, which was informative and helpful and also showed other investigators experiencing the paranormal at the Mill. We started off at the front house, which used to be the family's main house and while using the Ouija board, it did move a bit and I saw a shadow figure in the kitchen, which was terrifying (but I enjoy that kind of thing). The mill was the best part. And there was even a huge thunderstorm that kicked up. Ethel's bedroom had a strange feel to it and the attic was creepy, especially with the lightning. Beyond anyone's control was the tornado watch that night. We were sent away early and had to walk through the woods in the storm, but it's a good thing they did end early. I honestly thought I might die that night. Purple lightning and winds that blew the car around, trees in the road. Most scared I've been in my life. A few nights later, I did the haunted walk through downtown. Liam was our guide. He is one of the best storytellers I've ever met and so polite and kind. We visited many historical buildings and Liam was so knowledgeable about Kingston and its history. I told him he could teach a few things to the haunted tour guides in New Orleans, and I wasn't kidding. We had a couple of people late to the event and after missing my trolley tour for FOUR minutes, it did my heart good to see this tour company wait for everyone. One thing that disappointed me greatly was that none of the other participants, despite raving about how much they enjoyed the tour, tipped our guide. Most were Americans (I am too, a dual citizen) so I know you know better. I tipped him in hopes of making up for that. Shame on them. He never missed a beat, was immensely entertaining, took pictures, answered questions. Come on. The last tour was at Fort Henry. Peter was the guide and every bit as wonderful as Liam. Very knowledgeable, patient when we wanted to ask questions or stop to take pictures. Well spoken and kind. Also, a very good and compelling storyteller. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour too. We heard about misfortunes that happened to the soldiers as well as paranormal experiences had by others. I didn't see anything, but you could feel charged energy in the air. You do get to go to the top of the fort and the views, especially at sunset, were breathtaking. I'm a little slow on the stairs with my RA but Peter always stopped to check on me. It didn't look like many tipped her either, but I tried to make up for it. Like Liam, Peter did such a wonderful job!! In NOLA all the tour guides have signs or even say if you enjoyed it, we do accept tips. They deserve it. These tours REALLY made my trip to Kingston. Now, I'm excited to return in October for the Fort Fright event. Thank you so much for making my 56th birthday trip so spectacular. The people at this tour company have created something extra special and they are so nice. Just great human beings! Book a tour...but tip your guide!

Our family loved every minute of this haunted walk, especially my 10 year old! Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her delivery of the spooky stories was engaging, atmospheric, and thoroughly entertaining.

We had a blast hearing all the stories behind the facade of the old buildings. It was truly a pleasure to meet someone who knows so much about Kingston and Canadian history. He even referred to our aboriginal roots which were also quite remarkable. Overall, a great experience!

Karma was our guide and she was fantastic! Very informative and a lot of fun, will definitely check out some of the other ghost walks next time we are in town.

It was interesting and very relaxing, liked the way and the explanation. Pity we have not gone to the castle.

Great food and service. Great story teller. Excellent views. Very enjoyable day on the lake. Must see when in Kingston

We booked a 3-hour 1000 island cruise with lunch in mid-June. Despite a slightly cloudy sky, the ship was quietly traveling between u along the many islands. The tour guide explained a lot u knew the whole area u Historical very well. The staff was friendly u brisk u attentive. There was a delicious u tasty lunch of well made salad, main course comes between chicken, beef or vegetarian be selected u as dessert a cheesecake with berries. Drinks had to be paid ectra. Overall a successful, interesting u nice excursion!

Trip was fantastic, Richard our driver was, funny, knowledgeable and great time! The tour took you through a great part of kingstons downtown and even up to fort henry

Everything is good except the ship goes not far enough to see more islands, it starts from Kingston to Gananoque then U-turn back to Kingston. If you love to see more small islands it’s better to start cruising from Gananoque.

Excellent and informative. Lots of stories and unbelievable facts that happened here in the 1800. A real eye opener! Richard was super Excellent We will be back for more tours

Beautiful scenery and modern glass-top boat. The live music performer was good. Great service! The food menu is good but some of our mains arrived cold or were not as good as expected.

Took the ghost tour last night with my husband and we had a wonderful time. Richard was knowledgeable, entertaining, and a great guide who kept the evening going as we drove around Kingston. The ghost visits to tell their stories were a great addition and we loved learning about the spooky history of Kingston. Adding some shots from the asylum stop with the “Help” message and what appears to be an outline and face in one of the windows.

I went on this tour on Halloween night. It was a phenomenal experience, introducing me to the town and the university. The guide, Regan was friendly, knowledgable and a terrific presenter. I would highly recommend this tour, it is fun for the whole family.

Super fun activity! It took a few minutes for the Cool Kingston email to come through to give the coupon code for the actual website to redeem the hunt, but just be patient and it will work. The final challenge didn’t work. The website gave me an error and when I tried to go back to the previous page, it took me to the home page. But whatever. Still had a fun time doing something a little different with coworkers while we were all out of town for work.

Excellent choice to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday!! Staff were amazing, food was delicious (snapper a touch dry), and we'll portioned. On board entertainer added to a wonderful ambiance. The cruise itself was just phenomenal!
