Go for it - Our group had a great time on this trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and had great stories to tell. She’s a wonderful actress, too! It was amazing to see the city lit up at night. Walking the streets at night is a different experience. Highly recommend!

A thrilling way to spend an evening in Old Quebec! - The Animated Crime Walking Tour in Old Quebec was an incredibly unique and engaging experience. Our guide (sorry I don’t remember her name), brought the city’s darker history to life with vivid storytelling, and leading us through the winding streets of Old Quebec. We learned about historical crimes, scandals, and legends that added a thrilling layer to the beautiful cityscape. The mix of history, mystery, and atmosphere made for an unforgettable evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a different and exciting way to explore the city’s past!

Fun for the night - Our guide is great with talents. The crime history/stories are not as novel as we’ve imagined, but good enough. Thanks for the consideration of my kid when you narrated the story of adultery with subtle wording.

Fun and interesting way to learn about punishments of the past! - Ethan was wonderful! I especially loved his makeup. And the fact that English is his second language and he has only lived in Quebec for one year, we found it incredible how well he spoke!

Fun but gorey - I liked the energy and the concept. The costume and character was fun. I do think less of an emphasis on the blood and gore would've made it more palatable. I did appreciate the historical accuracy. Also, for my tastes, and for this time of year, it would've been nice if they would've included local folklore and myths- ghosts, taboos, as well as social customs. A little less gruesome, a little more time mindset. The main emphasis of the show was the intense punishments, which would be better as a side dish.

Not quite what we expected - It is good to learn about the history of Quebec. But we expected the tour to be spooky and scary and it was not. The guide was very funny and well informed !

Disappointing walk: 1h30 walk. 75% of the locations unrelated to shared crime stories. - Sitting around listening would have had the same impact. Very friendly and captivating host, but her material left something to be desired, and the story was a little stretched. We were ready to go halfway.

This was kind of dumb. Too gruesome and freezing cold. - The tour was a lot of walking. There wasn't any tour of the jail cells like I thought. The explanation of torture was very gruesome.
