Hi Terry,
I was very disappointed in this review. Firstly, it appears that Tripadvisor Experiences made an error by saying there were 6 participants maximum. It is actually impossible to pay actors union based wages with this low number of clients and I have asked our administrator to sort that our. Secondly, we research real ghost stories in Montreal and are very proud to offer four different experiences, three walks and the pub crawl, not to mention our free blog on the 13th of the month. It takes 1 minute to announce this, not 15 minutes, as you suggest. That is the mission of our company - to share Montreal's macabre past and ghost stories with our clients, as advertised on our website. I was quite surprised you did not want to hear about what the company actually does, including our free services. It is true tour started about 10 minutes past three, which is always done to allow clients to buy drinks. Unfortunately, not everyone always arrives 10 minutes early, as we suggest. I would also disagree with you assessment that "the majority" of time was spent buying drinks and that there was little interaction. Indeed, those who took ghosts seriously stayed at the last pub, Hurley's, for over an hour discussing their own paranormal experiences. Overall, I found this review disappointing because it sounds like instead of engaging with the ghost stories and the people you felt bitter that ghost stories "ruined" the history of Montreal in your mind. This was the most surprising thing, in my mind. Why would you book a ghost tour if you wanted "history" that paints the city in a glossy and uncritical light, especially when Montreal is the most haunted city in Canada? Next time, I recommend booking one of those double-decker bus tours, where you will get a very minimal amount of history that glosses over the city's true dark history and its over 300 ghosts.
