Fun ghost and legends tour
Aniouta was great. She was very animated and entertaining and certainly seems to enjoy storytelling. One suggestion about the meeting place. Place Royalle has several parts. The description should specify it is the side facing the waterfront
Operator response
Thank you so much for the great review and for taking the time to share your helpful feedback! We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed Aniouta's energy and passion. Her lively, animated storytelling is truly special and brings the history of Old Montreal to life in such an entertaining way. We will be sure to pass your lovely compliments directly along to Aniouta. We also really appreciate your constructive suggestion regarding our meeting point at Place Royale. Clarifying that guests should gather on the waterfront side is a fantastic operational tip that will help future travelers find their group with ease, and we will pass this right to our operations team to update our meeting instructions. Thank you again for touring with us, and we hope to welcome you back on your next trip!

A great spooky story telling evening
Alice did a fantastic job of getting her guests in a spooky mood. She told the stories of the city with great enthusiasm and conviction and immersed herself into her character while painting the pictures of old Montreal and some of the more unfortunate things that have happened there.
Operator response
Thank you so much for capturing the magic of Alice's performance so vividly! It is one thing to share local history, but fully stepping into character and painting those vivid, theatrical scenes of Old Montreal's darker past takes a truly gifted storyteller. We love hearing how her conviction and high energy instantly drew everyone into that wonderfully eerie mood right from the start. She really knows how to bring those tragic and mysterious historical moments to life without missing a beat! I'm forwarding your review straight to Alice—feedback like this about her immersion and enthusiasm will absolutely light up her day. Thank you again for diving into the darker side of our city's history with us!

Not our Jam!
Unfortunately for us while the actor was good- his stories were not. I would not recommend it- especially if you ate going with discerning teens.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad you appreciated our actor's performance, but we are sorry the storytelling didn't fully hit the mark for your group. As we discussed together earlier, we always strive to make things right when an experience doesn't meet expectations. We truly appreciate your input as we continue refining our tours, and we wish you and your family all the best.
