5.00We had the most amazing guide- she played Mary who was married to the Hangman. She was dressed in period costume and the makeup on her face was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable as well as very entertaining, Highly recommend the tour.

5.00This was a great way to experience life in New France back in the day! Marianne did a fantastic job staying in character and describing and demonstrating the penal system of that era. The walk throughout town was picturesque in the dark evening hours but set the mood nicely. Would recommend to others completely.
Interesting history but not a haunted tour

3.00I enjoyed the stories but feel this was mis marketed since there wasn’t really any mention of what was haunted or any ghosts and such. Interesting history though! Just wish there was more explanation of haunting!
