We highly recommend this haunted tour. While it is shorter than the ones you might find in Montreal or Quebec City, the stories are compelling and it is a great way to get into the historic aspect of this lovely city. More

The guides are fairly entertaining- it's a good addition to any Kingston tour that reveals some of the area's history. The guides play a game of telling one false story throughout the evening and having people guess which it is (for a small prize). More

Well done. The walk was interesting. It brought the historic buildings of Kingston alive. It makes you appreciate historic building preservation. My kids still talk about the walk. More

This is a great way for visitors to see Kingston on foot, learn some history in a fun setting, and maybe see a ghost or two. The tour through town is certainly great, but the real fun is at Fort Henry for the Ghosts of the Fort tour! I'm a local, but I go on the Fort tour once a... More

Tours are led by students who do it for a summer job. They are reasonably knowledgable, but lack the ability to portray any sense of atmosphere. The tour is not inexpensive, and could get pricey for a family group. It does, however, offer an opportunity to walk back streets which one would not normally take time to explore. More

Having lived in Kingston for many years, I finally had the chance to go on one of these tours. The tour was very interesting and, surprisingly, informative. You'll learn a lot about the history of Kingston, not just the paranormal stuff. The guide was very enthusiastic and well informed. More

Kingston, with its limestone buildings dating to before Confederation, is the perfect spot for an atmospheric ghost walk. This group has informed, well trained tour leaders and gives you your money's worth of local lore and history. It's worth the walk just to see some of Kingston's finest old homes and buildings if you're interested in history and/or architecture. More

The guide wears a black robe & carries a lantern for a great eerie effect. The stops all have an interesting story about the sightings and occurrences of the address you are standing out front of and what makes it so interesting is that the Haunted Walk has its roots in historical research, not just spooky entertainment. An awesome summer... More
