Fantastically spooky - 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.

Some chilling and hair-raising tales - 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).

Haunted tales under the Christmas lights. - The Haunted walk was fantastic. We really enjoyed it! Caroline, our guide was wonderful and has a real knack for telling the tales of the haunted buildings and areas in downtown Ottawa. It was a very cold but we dressed appropriately. We love seeing all of the beautiful Christmas lights in many of the parks and on the buildings too. We will definitely do another Haunted tour with them!

Not worth the walk - Very disappointed by the haunted walk. Trivial and repetitive stories. We haven’t even been past the most striking sights in the city. No interaction between stops. In short, I do not recommend this walk. It's expensive to pay for this type of benefit
