Great tour!
Our tour guide, Lucy, was great! She shared stories that were compelling and also interacted with us to find out where people were traveling from and provided recommendations. It was interesting to hear about locals' experiences.

Distillery District Ghost Tour
We had such a great experience on the Distillery District Ghost Walk with Lucy! She was an absolutely fantastic guide—friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and a wonderful storyteller. She really knew how to build suspense and bring the history and ghost stories of the Distillery District to life. I may have even caught a little something in one of the pictures I took.

Better if after dark
The guide was super cute, well spoken, and enthusiastic. I only rate the tour as average because her content was not that great. It could have used a bit more history and context vs just weird sightings. Also, 8:00pm in a festive area is not conducive for a good ghost tour. Hard to be scared with music, festive people partying etc. The tour would have been much better if it started closer to 9:00. Would not recommend 8:00pm or earlier to anyone!

Meghan was great. My wife and I had a fun time. Nice, creepy stories.
It’s not frightening. Just eerie stories with some historic information about the distillery area. Nice balance of history and creepiness.

Fun Way to See Toronto in the Evening
No ghosts, of course, but it’s a fun way to see the city’s beautiful architecture, and our capable host Meghan shared interesting stories and film shoot locations.

Amazing experience
We loved this tour! Caroline was a great guide, she really made the experience interesting and engaging. The cloak blowing in the wind was an 11/10. Highly recommend :)
