If you enjoy great storytelling about history, this tour is for you!

It was a great history lesson. Less of a “ghost tour” and more of a great story telling of terrible events that happened in the past. Horrific events for sure, but we were really hoping to hear more of why the spots are haunted and examples of haunts. The guide was fantastic story teller, but we were tempted to leave about midway and explore the area on our own.

Thanks for this great review and feedback! We really appreciate it and as the author of the tour, I can tell you that it is under revision. I am glad you did not leave midway as the streets of Old Montreal are full of ghosts and it is not a good idea to wander alone at night.

Where were the ghost stories??

Not really a ghost tour. Mostly history about notable people's unfortunate deaths. I wanted to leave early as it was a bit obnoxious.

Operator response

Are you sure you are reviewing the right company? As the creator of the tour I can tell you that there are 8 ghost stories in our Old Montreal tour, all backed up with dark historical information. As such, I was surprised by your comments. Please feel free to contact us to elaborate on your comments and to possibly arrange a refund if you did indeed attend our ghost tour.

Great night out!

Went on the Old Montreal tour last night with Anton as our guide. He was very funny, engaging, and very knowledgeable. He also adapted well with all the car noise happening (F1 weekend). 100% recommend to anyone looking to learn more about the history and buildings of Old Montreal!

What a fun way to learn about Montreals somewhat gory history!

This was good fun, Cara was knowledgable, friendly and fun! Taught us a lot more about Montreal and its gruesome history. Found the idea of the old cells still in existence under our feet quite disturbing!! You are walking for a good hour and a half so be prepared, pee beforehand and wear comfy footwear!
