Great tour, learned some really interesting history - It was a great way to not only learn about the history of the distillery but also some history of the toronto water front.

Excellent Tour - We did this when we visited in April. Despite it being a rainy night and myself, my partner, and our 21 year old being the only people booked, it was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us about the rich history of the area whilst combining this with ghost stories and experiences of people. I would highly recommend it.

Spooky fun night out - Irene is a talented storyteller who brought her spooky stories to life. She is friendly, welcoming, engaging, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend that you spend some time with her on this ghost tour in a beautiful location.

Soft spirits - Good informative tour, friendly guide, lots of history and insights into 19th century Toronto society. It was engaging and fun, but not spooky. The distillery is a wonderful site with lots of benign ghost anecdotes but few murders or truly morbid stories.

Cute little short tour - Cute tour. It is very memorized and recited, kind of feels like you’re watching a play, but it’s a cute little short tour. Would have liked it to be creepier, personally.

It was ok - It would have been nice to have more current ghost stories than centuries ago. It was getting boring after listening to that as it wasn’t scary at all.

Just Okay - The tour/stories wasn't as scary as I'd hoped. Lots of historical facts but I came for the spooks!
Plus there were other group members that kept talking and laughing throughout the tour guide's presentation.

Good for kids, not very interesting for adults. - We were hoping to actually go into the buildings. Disappointing it was just some stories. Not at all what we were expecting based on several other similar tours we have been on.
