A fun way to learn about the history and architecture of a new town. Daniella did a great job—very informative and friendly. Set a spooky-but-child-friendly tone, as there was a child in our group.

Guide Jack was super smart informed and very professional. The tour was well researched and he even did a story as a dedication to an Algonquin woman.

Lex provides a unique way to share Ottawa’s history through story. Excellent tour guide. Loved walking to the sites in the evening.

The haunted history tour was quite informative and fun. Our guide, Monica, was delightful!! The tour isn’t too long and there are opportunities to sit down during story telling.

I’ve been on a haunted walk in Scotland and my daughter had been on a haunted walk in Oshawa and this was just a little bit lacking. Our host told us that he’s just a spare host and they were overbooked so they called him in… maybe this is why he didn’t seem as practiced. When he made a mistake and what he was saying, he seemed to get a bit flustered and we had a long pause and then he corrected himself. If he had just continued, I probably wouldn’t of noticed. Many of his stories came with some kind of disclaimer that they might not be true which do you know if you’re on a haunted walk….the reason you’re going is it’s all stories. We did a lot of walking, but not as much storytelling as I expected, having been through one before. The one I was on as well in Scotland everyone had headphones so that we could hear the storytellers very clearly, and the storytellers were very colourful and acted the part. It was a nice walk in the evening around Ottawa, but I could’ve done that myself.

Fun, entertaining, and informative! Our guide, Nart, was an amusing storyteller. I learned a lot about the sinister side of the city’s history.
