Montreal tour
I wanted to amend my initial review as there are things about the tour that confused me initially and I could have worded my things better than I did. As I traveled through Canada I learned about more about their "Truth and Reconciliation" policy. Probably would have been better to ask the guide about that instead of thinking it was weird. I didn't have that great of a time but I think it is not the fault of the guide, they certainly did their best. I think I was just tired and probably would have been better off rescheduling.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Haunted Montreal takes Truth and Reconciliation very seriously in our work. Not only do we seek the truth, but we also work with affected communities and stakeholders in search of justice and social change. I'm sorry to hear that you felt unwell during the tour. We are always happy to reschedule for situations like this, should you join us again in the future.
