Lots of Fun! - Our storyteller Alice was ‘in character’ and a fabulous guide. The length of the tour was perfect and she made sure that there were many places to sit while she told us the spooky tales. We highly recommend this tour!

Excellent historical and whimsical tour - Very fun and informative. We got a peak into the gory side of Montreal's history and Franklin (we are now permitted to call him Frank ;) ) was an excellent entertaining guide that kept us laughing and learning!

Entertaining & Educational - Best Ghost Tour - This was the best ghost tour I've ever been to, one of the best tours in general. Our guide did a phenomenal job bringing humor and performance to the tour, which made it so much more engaging, entertaining, and memorable. The stories all incorporated elements of the time period, history, and culture, so I feel like I learned so much about iconic parts of the area while being entertained.

Fast funny and fascinating ! - wow ! Madame Morphine was a superbe storyteller .. Magnifique.. Energique … and spooktastic ! She’s not really a ghost is she ? devilishly hard to photograph ! Hmmmm I wonder …
The tour was busy , bustling and took in lots of different historic sites of the old city with tales of dodgy doctors with a penchant for dissection , wandering nuns and sad tales of slaves coming to a very unfair and tragic end . The history of a city which is told the world over , of ambition , abuse of power and abject cruelty . Fascinating , funny and fast paced we seemed to race from one dark alley to another , dodging the throngs of tourists and getting highly entertained and educated for our efforts . Highly recommend this tour and in particular our wonderful storyteller ..
Note the meeting place at ‘Place Royale ‘ is on the river side - just in case you are confused .

Seniors enjoyed Old Montreal Walking Ghost TourSenior Citizens. - The Old Montreal Walikng Ghost Tour was a fun, exciting tour of a totally different perspective of “Old Town” Montreal which includes great historical information. It does involve a lot of walking which can provide an opportunity for exercise. The weather for our tour was perfect. I highly recommend it for all age adults.

Would not recommend - The stories were definitely a stretch, though they did the best they could with the limited fodder they had. We ended up leaving after 45 minutes.
