A wonderful tour for all ages. Little sit down breaks are provided all along the way. Our tour guide Heather was so passionate and informative.
The Tales from the Masoleum at Beechwood Cemetery is excellent. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and framed the 'scary' stories with interesting historical facts of the cemetery and Ottawa, which made the experience not only fun but informative. Great way to learn about Ottawa's history.
We did 70 minute ghost tour with Ryan tonight. He had good ghost stories and history of the area and Ottawa. Would recommend.
Nat was great storyteller, highly recommend. Wish I had time to see all the artefact's in the Byward museum in daylight.
The Original Haunted Walking Tour in Ottawa was light fun and entertainment. Our guide Ryan shared stories combined with interesting historical tidbits about Ottawa. It was well paced, but make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Our entire family liked it.
It was quite pleasant to listen to the haunted historical stories.

I took the tour with Elias and he was wonderful! He answered all of my questions and was a very good storyteller. Would highly recommend! Thanks!
Wonderful walk around Ottawa. Would have liked to go West a bit more to talk about other building but otherwise a very good experience. A little chilly though lol.
