Ghost Tour Victoria - Fiona our guide was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She led the tour with humor and just the right amount of spookiness. We had such a great time.

Fantastic tour! - This was an excellent ghost tour. I’ve been on dozens of ghost tours in multiple countries and Jill was one of the best storytellers I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. My only regret was not having any Canadian cash for a well deserved tip. I only had 6 hours in Victoria and this was easily the best way to spend one of them. Highly recommended.

This was a really fun way... - This was a really fun way to see a bit of downtown Victoria. Our guide, Asher, was friendly and delivered the stories with the appropriate spooky theatrics. Some of the stories were pretty gruesome (e.g. the failed hanging of a convicted murderer). Our 11-year-old has seen some horror movies and enjoyed the tour, but it might be a bit much for some kids.

Fun and spooky storytelling, a great way to spend an hour - The highlight of the tour was our guide, Brynne! She made Ghost Walk #1 (the classic) so much fun that my friend and I booked a different tour for the next day and we were lucky enough to have Brynne as our guide again. Sadly, our time in Victoria was short or else we would have joined every Ghost Walk available. Brynne was just that great of a storyteller. History can seem very dry but with guides like Brynne it’s less of a classroom and more of a walking performance of local history. She is also very good looking and oozes charisma. Maybe I’m just saying that because she complimented my outrageous tiger cardigan. It was great to walk through and experience the local history with a spooky slant. I would definitely recommend booking a tour after dark as that ups the “ooh” factor. While it is hard to walk through downtown Victoria during tourist season, the size of our group was able to stick together and make it through the crowds easily since the guide knew the area so well. It was a great non-expensive way to enjoy the area as well a good resource to get information on local businesses. We may or may not have visited a few shops and restaurants after the tour to satiate some morbid curiosity.
