    • Why This Tour is Great

      Rum Runners Tour

      Now this is fun! With a cast of colourful characters, hear the stories and see the places of interest; the hideouts, secret passageways, and mansions associated with the rumrunners. You’ll even have lunch at a speakeasy where “Fingers” will be tickling the ivories with tunes from “The Roaring Twenties.”


      Pelee Island 

      Enjoy a day on beautiful, serene Pelee Island.  Learn how the unique features of the island provide suitable conditions for wine production, and taste how deliciously various wines pair with food! After lunch, enjoy a leisurely, informative tour of this hidden island gem.


      A Delightful Getaway!

      This is your opportunity to be whisked away from the ordinary to a completely different world!  From your stay at Caesars Windsor, with the energy and nightlife of a world-class casino, to the world of rum-running during Prohibition, to tranquil, peaceful Pelee Island.  This is your getaway tour with fun and games and tales and tastings!
