THANK YOU for decorating!

LIGHTING: Look at your display from afar. Yes, dim is good, but too dark is too dark. Light them up!
Ding! Ding! THUMP!!!
If you plan to get out of your car and look at a home, please do not park in front of the decorated home.
Lots of cars are just "passing by" so please keep the main view clear for all vehicles. Please park down the block.

ALL commercial vehicle's MUST have a Safety Inspection sticker in the front windshield (on left in photo). This date should be the CURRENT month or a FUTURE month. If the safety sticker is missing all-together, that vehicle FAILED a safety test and you should not get on board the vehicle. Safety Inspections check under the hood and all mechanics of the vehicle to ensure they are safe to be on the road and safe to carry passengers.
(This photo shows that Naperville Trolley has passed inspection and is valid through February, 2025. It will be re-tested by the end of February, at which time a new sticker is placed by the inspection company in the windshield.)
ALL commercial vehicle's MUST have an insurance sticker in the front windshield with the monthly sticker dated in the CURRENT month, or a FUTURE MONTH. (On right in same photo) Do not ride in commercial vehicles without this sticker as they are not "up to date" on their vehicle insurance.
(This photo shows that Naperville Trolley has active insurance and has paid the premium thru June, 2025. We are actually paid through August 2025, but they don't have July/Aug 2025 stickers at the DMV yet.) Did you know that ALL Illinois commercial license plates renew in June each year? : )
THESE TWO STICKERS ON FRONT WINDSHIELD ARE A MUST before getting into a commercial vehicle!!!
Naperville Trolley & Tours, Ltd. is very proud of our fleet!
KNOW what company you are booking with for the SAFETY of all that you invite to your event. Transportation Companies are NOT all "apples to apples".
Every fall, I start to see "other" companies offering Naperville Light Tours. It's a Free Country and the public roads are open to all, so this note is not about keeping competitors out of town. It's about advertising in a way that some THINK they are booking a Naperville Trolley, but they are not.
Naperville Trolley & Tours, Ltd. only books via emailing with Annette directly for private events, or booking our public tours via the online link from our website "Book Public Tours".
Pay attention to how your book from another company. Pay attention to email addresses and websites with other names than advertised, and ask questions. Get things in writing. Read and sign a contract, or in our case of booking a public tour, read and agree to all terms before purchasing individual reservations online. Ask for proof of insurance and the safety sticker date.
Naperville Trolley does not overbook and then cancel at the last minute. When you have a reservation with us, it's 99.9% a sure thing! (.1% would be the VERY uncommon situation of a mechanical breakdown. All of our Trolleys are very new and we haven't had a mechanical problem in many years, knock on wood and we service our vehicles with Preventative Maintenance to stay ahead of things! Ding! Ding!)
When transporting 16 or more (including the driver), Commercial Drivers are required to have a CDL (commercial driver's license) with a P (passenger endorsement), a MED card (medical card, given only to those physically able to drive safely), and participate in random Drug & Alcohol Testing. Ask your driver to see their drivers license. I guarantee all of the Naperville Trolley drivers are properly licensed.
Naperville Trolley & Tours has passed 100% of all of our random testing in the past 29 years, and we are VERY proud of that!
All of our drivers are employee's of Naperville Trolley & Tours, not sub-contractors. We pay our drivers through a payroll service, not cash on the side. (That is illegal.)
KNOW what company you are booking with for the SAFETY of all that you invite to your event. Transportation Companies are NOT all "apples to apples".
NOTE: There are a lot of dates that only have "one" Trolley left to book, so don't delay, as it's first come, first booked! Ding! Ding!
