Guelph Electric Bus

Imagine getting to your historic walking tour featuring tales from the 19'th century by riding this 21'st century transportation device.

Guelph can do that.

Take the all new electric bus to your tour this year.

Gotta love Guelph Tourism

Theatre Scenery

Uh oh, looks like they want to tear down all the lovely scenery for the JayWalking Tours. That would be a shame, not only for the JayBird but all who benefit from tourism.

Read THIS about Bill 23.

Guest Speaker


Looking for a guest speaker?

Why not a JayWalking tour without the walking? Great stories, complimented with images and sound effects.

Three choices Guelph related:
Guelph's seamier side - Scandalous Guelph
Local history - Gwelf Early Days
A true tale of murder from 1889 - The Unfortunate Man



A non-Guelph performance - Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears. Jay transports you to Ballycarlene a lovely place that exists only in the mind. Filled with charming characters in unique situations.

Guest speaker problem solved.

Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears - Irish Tales and other recitations


Over the past couple of years, I have added delightful Irish tales to my repertoire. The stories come from a family friend, Charlene Herrold (1919-2009). 

Hear amusing stories such as: The Courting Notion, Out of Time, The Tourist Dollar, Francis O'Feline, Haggerty's Wake.

To honour Charlene Herrold, writer of these delightful stories, good friend Robin Baird Lewis has given these tales a home: Ballycarlene. You'll see what I mean soon.

These tales have proven to be immensely popular at storytelling events and now this one man show is available for your theatre, library, community hall, social club...

"...I have to know where I am going to if it is expecting me to get you there that you are."

"Turn around you fractious bastard and head for the sea. We're taking Dev swimming if it kills you."

"Every accent known to man I'd been hearing and all voice owners indicating how willing they were to plant a toe of their boot forent me behind."
