GENERAL PRIVATE CHARTER INFO
A PRIVATE CHARTER is when you book the entire Trolley for yourself.
Examples include a Private Birthday Party, Corporate event, Neighborhood Fun, House Walk, Wedding Anniversary, "This is your Life" Tour, Trolley to/from dinner on the town, Private Historic Tour of Naperville, Church Group FUN, Class Reunion Tour, School Dance, Private Halloween Lights Tour, your "Fun Idea", and our infamous Private Holiday Light Tour in November & December.
Each Trolley can board up to 30 guests, but that doesn't mean you have to fill it all the way. Private Charters are by the hour, not the number of guests on board.
We have a one hour minimum and/or "to" your event and if you want us to pick you up later, a one hour minimum "from". Travel time/fuel fee if any stops are outside of Naperville. Our one-hour minimum booking is a solid one hour booking and the hour can not be spilt up into smaller units. One hour bookings begin at $400/hour+18% driver gratuity, 20% driver gratuity 8:00pm and later.
Rates change at 10:00pm to $600 per hour with two hour minimum plus 20% driver gratuity (and travel time/fuel fee if outside of Naperville). We will only stay on past 10:00pm with earlier hours booked as well.
A lot of groups book the Trolley to get them "to" the fun then ride-share home as everyone leaves the party at different times. We can send you a quote for your Special Trolley FUN!
Weddings are also a Private Charter booking, have a three hour minimum, and a travel time/fuel fee if we are Trolleying outside of Naperville. Visit our Wedding tab for more details on weddings.
Every age counts as "one" person on board, even babies. Can you imagine a Trolley with 10 lap babies added to the count? Neither can we. We have rules we must follow and in those rules, every heartbeat = one person, no matter what age or how small they are.
Once a date/time has been confirmed, a contract will be emailed to you to review, sign, and return with a non-refundable engagement fee check. Your balance will be due one month before your tour date. Should you wish to pay with credit card, 5% processing and handling fee is added to any amount charged. We prefer checks.
Standard Cancellation Terms:
Standard cancellation terms are as follows: Monies paid (excluding the Engagement Fee) will be refunded upon cancellation prior to the event date as follows: at least 120 days or more before event date - 75%, 90-119 days before event date - 50%, 60-89 days before event date - 25%, 59 days or less before event date - no refund.
Engagement Fee is non-refundable and non-transferrable.
Thank you!

There are so many great homes to see, that two different tours are offered, and a third tour may be added in 2023 We pick up private tours at most Naperville addresses and suggest you select a location close to the Holiday lights and not at the far edge of town so you can see the most lights during your time.
