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!

A nice way to spend an evening - The instructions on where to meet were very unclear. I suggest indicating on the ticket exactly where to meet, as we ended up in the wrong place initially but were able to find the right spot.
We were split into two groups and ended up with a young woman referring to herself as Edith, claiming to be a ghost for over 200 years and fulminating about modern devices (mobile phones) and scary machines (automobiles) while she led us through parts of Ville-Marie (named for the Virgin Mary) and telling us stories of scandals and shocking deaths in Montréal., including in buildings still standing. Like many ghost tours I've taken, Edith mentioned how some people will see the ghosts or hear sounds of people who died before their time. I do love stories like this (and wish I could get more information so I can read up), so this is why I enjoyed the tour. Sadly, I haven't had many ghostly experiences, even though I live in a city chock full of alleged ghost stories and have visited other places also with ghost stories.
