Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Connor gave us a great tour! Interesting hearing from so many real guards from the past. Horrifying that society kept people under such conditions.

We took the extended tour of the penitentiary and I would highly recommend the tour. It was a lot of walking but there are areas to sit during the tour and water coolers available if needed. Carolyn was our tour guide and she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Her interest in the history and her enjoyment of her job was very apparent! The speakers throughout the tour shared interesting stories and was a nice touch to hear from those who actually worked there. Once again I would highly recommend the extended tour if you have the time.

We took the 1.5 hour tour and felt it was timely and interesting with the variety of speakers at different stations. My husband could have used a couple of sitting stops more than we did but overall the pace was good, group size moderate (not small) and docent was loud enough we could all hear. Ticket was a little pricey but it was worthwhile. Best thing we did in Kingston actually.

Excellent informative tour.
Wish we'd done the extended version, but it was too costly.
A lot of history in this compound.

We did the hour and a half tour, and for us it was perfect. Dave was our tour guide and he was excellent. As the tour goes along you do meet some other staff, they give you a little insight into their duties and experience at the jail.
I can imagine the longer tour has more stories to hear and things to see, but we also wanted time to visit some other things in Kingston. I would not recommend the 45 min tour unless you really have no choice.
Our group would recommend this tour and said we would do it again.

I joined the Express Tour. It took around 45 minutes for the whole tour to finish.
Our guide is Connor, who is knowledgeable and very responsive to our questions.
We enjoyed the experience overall!

Took the extended tour yesterday (the 9th). Mike Bullet was our tour guide. The tour was very interesting, and Mike was very knowledgeable. He kept our whole group (all 19 of us) entertained for the entire duration of the extended tour (approximately 2.5 hours). His jokes and witty humour kept us all laughing. While I have no doubt that the other tour guides are very knowledgeable, I am not sure the tour would have been as enjoyable, should the guide have been anyone else. We were the last extended tour of the day, and Mike still managed to keep us all laughing, even at the end of the day!

WOW!!! Absolutely loved this!! Mary, our tour guide was so informative, well spoken and a great sense of humor. The retired correctional officers all gave great information. It was truly a great educational experience, even my 11 year old girl loved it

Really enjoyed this tour. Took my granddaughter who is a pre-teen and she loved it as well. Highly recommend everyone learn about this historic place in Canada. Savannah the guide was witty and fun and had total respect for the past "guests" and the building's history. Pure joy!

We visited on Sunday 27 august at 12.20 and were thoroughly entertained by our tour guide Bjorn. His tour was interesting informative and humorous. We found the content added by former employees provided real life details. Our group consisted of 2 Brockville residents and 2 Australians. Thank you for the experience.

I will be passing through Kingston but the tours don’t seem appropriate for my kids under 12. Is there any way for us to see inside the Penitentiary (self-guided perhaps?) or can we only go inside the museum? Thanks!

It’s not a scary tour and very educational with the guides.

Hubby and I did this tour last Tuesday. LOVED IT!
I've been wanting to do this tour for a while now and finally got to - so glad I did.
Sarah, our guide was terrific. Want to go back again already!
Hi, can we buy tickets at the penitentiary?

Most tours are sold out daily. When we went last week there were a few spots open. I would highly suggest purchasing online. Perhaps you can reserve tickets by phoning, but I don't believe this is available.

Hi, is there a place to leave a suitcase while you're on the tour? Will be visiting Kingston without a vehicle so we can't leave our stuff in the car. Thanks in advance.

Would you be able to purchase tickets on the day of arrival to do the extended tour also would the pen be close to the Kingston via train station thanks

Hello! Thank you for your question. We strongly recommend guests to purchase their Kingston Pen Tour tickets online as tickets sell out. As for the distance between the VIA train station and our site is about a 10-minute drive. Taxis are available.

Did the tour guide mention the abuse the prisoners suffered by the hands of the guards themselves ? The violation of civil rights by the staff ? The unprovoked violence perpetrated by the guards ?
Did they mention how the guards would supplement their income by smuggling in contraband/drugs for the inmates ?
I don’t think so.
To think this is a tourist attraction is appalling, it’s an institution of pain. Suffering. And torture ...

Yes they did several times, these tours are not to glorify prisons but to recognize mistakes made in the system and rectify . Hopefully money goes back into correctional system to improve .
Can you purchase tickets as a gift without specifying dates?

Online is the best option as it sells out quick. If you like taking your chances they can be purchased on site.
