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.

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour guided by Rob. So very informative. Excellent narrative and special appearances by a former warden and prison guards. Definitely brings you into the experiences of guards and prisoners alike. Highly recommend.

A great tour of the pen. The host was great and the retirees had great stories to tell. Artwork was great. Gives a great insight to life on the inside.

Have been to Kingston a few times and this was the first time we did a tour of the Pen. Was well worth it. Our tour guide, Adam, was very knowledgeable and very friendly. The former correctional staff were quite engaging and helpful. If taking a tour in the summer go in the morning as it is a little cooler. Good history lesson.

Second time being here. First time we took the standard tour, this time we did the express. Our older kids came this time. They enjoyed it just as much as we did. Our tour guide was excellent.

What an awesome experience. The staff is amazing, friendly and polite . The tour guide was very informative and engaging (Stephanie) . The guards that first hand experience and told their stories during their employment there was vary appreciated.
Thanks to all

Excellent tour- really enjoyed the former guards providing information and perspective about life and events at the penitentiary at different stops on the tour. We did the standard tour for 1.5 hours and we saw a lot.
Rob was our guide for the tour and he did a great job. This is a unique touristy thing to do and would definitely recommend. We booked the tickets online and they were about $40 each.
Also, don’t forget to visit the warden’s house which is now a museum. It is free and is located across the street from the penitentiary.

We have always wanted to do this tour! Finally did it and so glad we did . Love the history of the “Pen”
We did the extended tour ( happy we did ) listening to the guards with first hand experience was amazing !
We believe this is a tour everyone should do and an important piece of Canadian history . Our tour guide was Eli and they did a great job explaining things and answering questions .

Was a little hesitant at doing this but my girlfriend really wanted to do it. Turned out to be a really good experience. I would highly recommend doing the extended guided tour.
Can be extremely hot in the summer so bring water and dress appropriately.

We stopped in Kingston on the way home from our vacation in Quebec so we decided to take the tour of the Kingston Pen.
The Tour exceeded our expectations and was extremely interesting.
Ali was a great tour guide along with all the others talking about their time as correctional officers.
Well worth taking in while in the Kingston area!!

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.
Skrevet 16. juli 2023
I only see tickets available until the end of October, will there be tours in November?
Skrevet 21. oktober 2022
Other years, the tours have normally stopped end of October and begin again in the Spring.

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!

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.
Skrevet 8. september 2021
I would call them and ask if that is possible
Skrevet 10. september 2021
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
Skrevet 2. august 2020
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 ...
Skrevet 5. september 2018
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 .

I never ch caked that out but I am certain they can do something for you as they were very willing to help at the fro t counter!
