Travelers will pass through Confederation Park, one of Kingston’s most scenic public spaces, located beside City Hall and the waterfront. It offers a beautiful view of the city’s historic heart while helping set the stage for stories about Kingston’s past, its civic identity, and the surprising turns that shaped the city.

Guests will visit Springer Market Square, a lively gathering place at the heart of Kingston’s historic downtown. Surrounded by beautiful limestone buildings and steps from City Hall, the square helps bring the city’s past into focus, from civic life and public gatherings to the strange, funny, and surprising stories that make Hidden Kingston feel different from a traditional history tour.

Guests will have the chance to see the Kingston sign, a popular photo spot near the waterfront. It’s a great place to capture a memorable image from the tour while taking in the surrounding views of downtown Kingston, City Hall, Confederation Park, and the city’s historic harbourfront.

Step into Rochleau Court, a tucked-away pedestrian courtyard that feels like one of downtown Kingston’s little hidden pockets. With its historic stonework, quiet charm, and off-the-main-street feel, it’s a fitting stop for a tour built around the stories and details most visitors miss.
