What an amazing guide and tour! - This was such a wonderful tour that took us to an area of Old Montreal we hadn't spent much time in.
The guide was such a wonderful actress that I didn't realize until the tour was over that she was so young!! She really pulled it off, I thought she was an old woman, and was so smart, informative and made it really fun!!
Learned so much about the history of the city and got to enjoy an nice evening walk.

Fun and interesting tour - This was such a fun tour and a good way to explore Old Montreal. The tour guide Madame Morphine was funny and very knowledgeable. It was a good way to see the city at night as a solo traveler as well.

SECRETS BEYOND WHAT IS KNOWN - Just attended the Ghost walk of true stories of Montreal. What a great way of connecting to one's superstitious & ghost stories that have happened since the our city began. Audiences from other parts of the World were intrigued by these true stories that are recorded in the archives. Truly it is remarkable how atrocities, racism and fear, drawn from ego back in the day, still exist today!! The storyteller/guide was phenomenal as she was using her Theatrical & acting skills in her believable interpretation and embodied characters 👏🏽. HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃

Funny, well educated, accessible, inclusive. - Our guide was excellent and well educated in the material she was providing! She made extra efforts to ensure the experience was accessible for a wheelchair user. On Halloween of all nights, she kept us safe and off of main roads while still providing the experience of old Montreal. Thank you Lily!

Macabre tales of torture, murder and ghouls. - Alice was charming and engaging. She told stories well and made sure the group could all hear and that we hadn't lost anyone.
