I don’t know how this tour has such a good review…we were walking around bored and so close not staying till the end. I will not recommend to our family and friends.
Its not so much of a going inside of the buildings but more a walking and story telling tour, the acting tour guide was great.
We were so lucky to have Godefroy de Bouillon as our guide this evening. She showed up in period costume and maintained the mannerisms and dialect throughout the tour. We had a rough start as moments before the assigned gathering time the heavens opened up and a thunderstorm, complete with lighting, rolled through the city. Not to be deterred, delayed the start for a few minutes while the heavy rains moved on. Godefroy kept the group moving through downtown streets while pointing out specific locations where historical spooky events occurred and incorporated quite a bit of dark humor in her patter. She was a trooper finding alcoves and places for the group to stand this avoiding most of the remnants of the rain storm. Godefroy was able to make events from 200-300 years ago relative and interesting. Nice job and highly recommended.
We really enjoyed this tour and the way the guides stayed in character. It was very entertaining. An added feature was a thunderstorm that swept through creating more intrigue and suspense. The guide catered to the group.
Very entertaining theactrical tour complete with scary stories, historical references and comedy. Easy walkability
This was a really fun activity in Montreal. We had a wonderful tour guide Constance who was not only extremely knowledgeable but entertaining (we're still laughing 2 days later from her jokes). The tour is entirely in Old Port so you get to see the sights while walking. I highly recommend taking this tour if you have time in Montreal.
Tour guide Natasha was fantastic. Great energy, solid delivery, questionable accent.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! I will be sure to pass your kind words along to Natasha. She will be absolutely thrilled to hear that her great energy and solid delivery hit the mark for your ghost walk! As for the "questionable accent"—when you're dealing with the ghosts, ghouls, and dark history of Old Montreal, we like to think a little mysterious vocal flair just adds to the creepy atmosphere! Montreal has a unique blend of cultures and history, and our guides certainly bring their own memorable charm to the storytelling. Thank you again for joining us for a creepy good time, and we hope to welcome you back for another hauntingly fun tour in the future! 👻

I was reluctant, but the staff, in full ghostly attire and makeup, sold me immediately. Carméla was our tour guide, and not only was she a great storyteller, she was thoroughly entertaining, laugh-out-loud funny, and never once broke character. Truly a night to remember. Can't recommend highly enough.

We love hearing from guests who start out a bit reluctant but end up having a night to remember. Our team puts a lot of passion into their ghostly attire and makeup, so it's wonderful to know they won you over right from the start! I will be thrilled to pass your fantastic feedback along to Carméla. She will be absolutely over the moon to hear that her storytelling, laugh-out-loud humor, and flawless dedication to her character made such a massive impression on you.
