Fantastically spooky

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely fantastic and memorable, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. I would highly recommend this walk to everyone heading to Ottawa, if not for the spooky tales, then for the history behind everything.

Some chilling and hair-raising tales

Published on Dec, 2024

Wonderful ghost tales narrated by an experienced tour guide. Her knowledge and personality contributed that much more to the period costume she wore. Perfectly sized group which made the experience even better. We soldiered on in very chilly weather (mid-late Dec).

Haunted tales under the Christmas lights.

Published on Dec, 2024

The Haunted walk was fantastic. We really enjoyed it! Caroline, our guide was wonderful and has a real knack for telling the tales of the haunted buildings and areas in downtown Ottawa. It was a very cold but we dressed appropriately. We love seeing all of the beautiful Christmas lights in many of the parks and on the buildings too. We will definitely do another Haunted tour with them!

Interesting stories, great way to spend an evening

Published on Nov, 2024

Informative, humorous, at the same time respectful to the deceased. I am sure the guide has told the same stories a million times before already, but they still managed to make everything engaging. Thumbs up!

Best time ever!

Published on Oct, 2024

Monica our tour guide was amazing and was so informative about the history of the ghosts with bringing enthusiasm!
