Really entertaining - The tour was great! We learned a lot about the gruesome history of Quebec. Our tour guide looked great in his costume. It was also a nice might for a walk down from Old Quebec down to the harbor. I really like doing ghost tours and this tour was a really good one.

Interactive fun! - William gave us an interactive and fun filled tour. He made the history of Quebec dark yet fun to learn. It would be great if you had a pamphlet with the stories available for customers to buy at the end of the tour. Merci!

Not what I expected - The tour was not what I expected.
This is not a Ghost Tour, even though the tour guide dressed as a “spirit”. While we did walk through several popular tourist areas, the limited number of stories told covered primarily punishments meted out for various crimes. There was no talking between stops. I assume the punishments were delivered in one central location but it’s not much of a walking tour if you only have one stop. It was not clear what the significance was for most of the stops we did have.

Not scary, not funny, not informative - I have been on many ghost tours and usually find that they are a good way to explore the city while learning something new. This was not that kind of experience. though we moved to different venues they were not related to the tour or explained. The first stop was about 25 minutes interviewing children about what punishment they thought they would be given if their dog did it’s business in a neighbours’ yard… It was low-grade, not funny or informative and very boring. After a further stop involving an excruciatingly drawn out and unfunny pantomime we decided to leave the tour - something I have never done before. In the hour we were there only two stories were mentioned. Don’t waste your money.
