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. If pick up is north of 75th street, a northern Holiday Lights Tour will be given. If pick up is south of 75th street, a southern Holiday Lights Tour will be given. Per the request of homeowners that decorated their beautiful homes, groups in the Trolley will remain on board the Trolley and not exit the Trolley at any homes during this tour.
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, so it's up to you. Every heart beat counts as one, no matter what age. A lap baby is "one", just as much as grandpa is "one". Age does not matter. One is One.
Please complete the form at the bottom of this page or email directly to annette@napervilletrolley.com.
Once a date/time has been confirmed, a contract will be emailed to you to review, sign, and return with $250.00 non-refundable engagement fee check. Your balance will be due one month before your tour date. Any private tours booked on or after 10/1/22 will be paid in full with signed contract. Should you wish to pay with credit card, 5% processing and handling fee is added to any amount charged. We prefer checks. Thank you!
(Public/individual Nov/December Light Tour reservations may be booked via the "Book Public tours" button and are $25 per person, all ages.)
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.
Please complete the form at the bottom of this page.
Once a date/time has been confirmed, a contract will be emailed to you to review, sign, and return with $250.00 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.
Government Restrictions:
Let's hope this doesn't happen again, but if it does:
Should the operations of NT&T be restricted by any governmental mandates or recommendations ("Restrictions") 30 days or less prior to your event date, NT&T will allow a one time transfer of all monies previously paid to NT&T into a credit with NT&T which will be valid for nine (9) months after your original event date. A new contract with the new date will be signed, and payment due dates will be listed, with final payment due one month before your big day. Should Restrictions be in place and you wish to move event date prior to 30 days in advance of your event date, a new Engagement Fee will be required, and all monies paid after the Engagement Fee will be transferred to new event date. Should Restrictions be in place and you choose to cancel your Contract, and not reschedule any future Trolley event within nine (9) month credit window, standard cancellation terms will remain in place.
Thank you!
