About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 618dryd0 contributionsDark amusementsA great bit of gruesome fun and local history! A walking tour but our family member using a manual wheelchair was also able to participate the whole way and enjoy some spooky storytelling by our awesome guide Jason.Written November 9, 2024
- DayTrip033160374410 contributionsFun tourVery fun tour. A small theatrical hike onto the mountain, perfect for Halloween. Jason was great at storytelling, keeping it creepy and light-hearted as well. Plus, you get to learn a bunch of historical facts as a bonus. Great tour and very interested in the others.Written November 2, 2024
- brentf7060 contributionsA must for paranormal enthusiasts!An informative historical account of early life in Ville-Marie. Dom, the paranormal investigator was great. An excellent opportunity to experiment with the equipment that ghost hunters use.Written October 31, 2024
- J5199ODstephanied0 contributionsHighly recommend this is a super fun experienceWe did the paranormal investigation at Dorchester Square with Dominique as our guide and it was such a fun experience. Dominique had a lot of interesting historical information to share and helped us connect with the ghosts. My mom who‘s a skeptic and only came because my sister couldn’t come, actually loved the experience and now believes. I highly recommend this experience if you’re ever in Montreal. Absolutely planning on doing it again.Written October 31, 2024
- U2076UVdanas0 contributionsAmazing!!!I’ve done almost all the haunted Montreal tours but this one was my favourite! The story telling is amazing and going up the mountain was like a workout but exciting because you are in the dark with a flashlight. It added to the spookiness! Whichever tour you do it will be fun! Plus you learn the history of Montreal. So if you love history and ghost stories this is for you! Definitely do this with some friends and family to make some great memories! Just fyi if you are doing any of the tours near the water in October wear a good coat because it can get quite cold especially with the wind and if doing the mountain tour in the summer bring bug repellent.Written October 20, 2024
- patrickhH5073BY0 contributionsParanormal investigation and walking tourIf you are interested in the paranormal and would like to visit some haunted sites in Old Montreal, I would recommend this tour. Dominique is a terrific guide and he gave us a hybrid of a walking tour with some historic facts about haunted sites and also, we were able to use some equipment to detect spirits and hear ghosts that were trying to communicate with us. My wife and I had a very fun evening and it definitely sparked an even greater interesting in pursuing more ghost adventures.Written October 20, 2024
- OnAir619524061710 contributionsghoulish funSuch a fun time with history, exciting & engaging. Jason was a great tour guide & even the rest of our group were fun people to be around!Written September 28, 2024
- D1158SZlouisem0 contributionsEntertaining, Informative, and Spooky!Very entertaining and informative. Jason was a very good performer who balanced the spooky, the history, and a bit of cheesy humour. A fun way to look at the city I've lived in my whole life, and three pubs I only thought I knew.Written September 7, 2024
- Global155014349230 contributionsWould not recommendI can see from other negative reviews that the tour operator then slates the reviewer so I’m expecting that to happen for this one too. Though a nice enough man, the tour content was too dense and delivered too fast and dramatically, so much so that it was hard to keep the thread of the stories. It would be improved by slowing down, creating a spookier atmosphere and cutting down on the content. It jumped around a lot and was too long. I went on a similar tour Montreal in 2018 with a man wearing the black hat and shirt just buttoned up (so either the same man, or the uniform of the same company) and I remember thinking the same thing - this tour feels like it’s more for the benefit of someone who wants to perform, rather than for the audience itself. It wasn’t great, didn’t feel closely linked to the pubs and the second pub’s prices were extortionate. Only hitting up three pubs for lengthy monologues didn’t seem like much of a “tour”. Opportunities for questions throughout, rather than long monologues, would be an improvement. Sorry to say that I would not recommend this in its current form as the price plus a tip is overstating the value a lot. And I generally do like to tip.Written September 4, 2024
- Sighren0 contributionsDon't miss this!Anton did a wonderful job of walking us through the ghost stories, and adding historical flavour to each location. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys history, or ghost stories, or simply drinking something tasty and listening to something interesting!Written August 19, 2024

I don't want to scare you with the details but, you'll be crawling around Bishop and Crescent. I highly recommend this."I went yesterday (2024-08-11) and had a great time.

We really enjoyed doing the tour! I've been living in Montreal for 13 years and there were so many things I didn't know and never noticed in the Old Montreal. Our guide Donovan was very knowledgeable about the area and the history and made it just the right amount of scary and creepy!

Haunted old Montreal was so fun. I loved walking down the beautiful cobblestone roads of old Montreal, while hearing about the local ghost stories and history of the area. The storyteller was excellent. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to going to the other tours that they offer. (I've also tried their Haunted Pub Crawl and it was a hit with my friends too)

Our guide did an excellent job keeping us entertained with historical stories of people who died and now haunt downtown Montreal. I'm a history buff so I was fully Intune with the facts and tidbits that aren't taught in schools! My sister was hoping to be a little more scared than she was from the tour itself but the full-on thunderstorm helped check that box ;)
Highly recommend, but I think I should have looked into one of their paranormal tours!

Thank you for this great review! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the deranged and taboo history that is never taught in history classes, especially regarding the colonial era. I heard that it was raining heavily during your tour and am happy that you appreciated the gloomy weather. As for the creepiness factor, we aim to balance the twisted history with the hauntings to try and satisfy all of our clients. Thanks again for attending and please do try one of our Paranormal Investigations if you want to communicate with spirits, a very creepy activity indeed!

This was my first haunted walk of any sort, so I don't have much to compare it to, but i found this a lot of fun. Our tour guide was very polite, well-spoken and charismatic. You learn a lot of creepy, historical tidbits about Montreal. Was a good time, the family enjoyed it!

I had never done a haunted walk before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, it was amazing! I loved learning the origins of Montreal along with stories from past and present. Our guide was wonderful and his story telling kept you engaged and interested. I also brought my partner who doesn’t love history as much as I and he really enjoyed it! Would definitely go again.

We did the Haunted Montreal tour of Old Montreal. Our tour guide, Cara aka Edna, was really great! She did a fantastic job, was very informative and entertaining. The tour is as much a history tour as a ghost tour, which made it even better for me. I highly recommend.
