The meet up spot was easy to find. Monica was a great guide and had different facts and info to share! A nice way to see the downtown area and learn about history and spirits.

What a wonderful tour. Our tour guide was extremely fun and informative. She also told us some of her on haunted experiences! Definitely important to wear walking shoes! We had a great time!

Absolutely fantastic and memorable, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. I would highly recommend this walk to everyone heading to Ottawa, if not for the spooky tales, then for the history behind everything.

Wonderful ghost tales narrated by an experienced tour guide. Her knowledge and personality contributed that much more to the period costume she wore. Perfectly sized group which made the experience even better. We soldiered on in very chilly weather (mid-late Dec).

Informative, humorous, at the same time respectful to the deceased. I am sure the guide has told the same stories a million times before already, but they still managed to make everything engaging. Thumbs up!
