Awesome tour - Really informative trip showing us parts of the city we had previously missed whilst walking around! Claire was an awesome guide with lots of knowledge and as such we are now looking to book the Toronto experience. Lots of walking as to be expected but was at a good pace with lots of stops usually with walls of benches to sit upon.

Great tour - Tour was enjoyable and well guided, and the guide was clearly experienced in doing that. Stories were interesting and our guide always found stairs or benches so we could sit during the tour, which was greatly appreciated. However, this tour is more about the stories (ghost, paranormal) than anything fact-based about the buildings or monuments.

Once was enough for us - I enjoyed being able to view the sites in downtown Ottawa like the Chateau Laurier, Centennial Park and Rideau Canal. Our guide was very organized and friendly and you could tell she really enjoyed doing the tours. The ghost stories aren't that scary and maybe it's the skeptic in me wondering how true some of them were. I wasn't that captivated and had a hard time paying attention to everything she was saying. I found them a bit drawn out and long at points. The tour was ruined for us by someone bringing a toddler and letting them run loose at each location. The child was yelling and making lots of noise jumping all over the place. The parents didn't seem that concerned about this kid running everywhere. I wish they wouldn't allow people to bring kids that young because it ruined the whole spooky mood that was supposed to be on the tour. It was also a very large tour with at least 25 people. I wish it had been a bit smaller.

Haunted Walk - No memorable events - no ghosts met! On many other walks of infamy and strange events, this one had very little substance and was conjecture. I am sure over 150 years, Ottawa must have had many grisly events occur but nothing was told of murders and unusual city happenings.

Turns out Ottawa doesn’t have that many ghosts ! - More a walk than ghost tour , the presenter was fun and bright but she couldn’t cover up for the fact that such a young city doesn’t really have that many ghosts so well over half of the tour is walking between locations followed by stories about someone seeing something . Struggle to recommend it
