Night Ghost Tour

Becky_T, Apr 2024

Zach was a great tour guide! Have nothing but a great experience on this tour. Was very informative & even a bit historical. Would definitely recommend

Great history lesson about Victoria

Stacey_N, Apr 2024

Besides it being cold, and I was unprepared for it, this tour was intriguing, captivating and kept you looking for more. Great tour, tour guide, and your city is just amazing! To bad our time here was cut short.

Great fun

Ruth_D, Apr 2024

Our ghost storyteller was very animated and wonderful! She kept the comedy in the stories, which, if told more solemnly could be disturbing to some. Loved it.

Fun night activity

Sandy_Z, Apr 2024

Our guide Fiona was wonderful. The stories and the way she told them made it feel like you were there. Would say while in Victoria, you should do this tour

Learned new stories about Victoria

Heath_G, Jan 2024

Our guide was so great! I would love to go on even more tours about the haunted places even a 2hr Empress tour alone would be worthwhile.

Great intro to Victoria, spooky but not overly frightening, so good for all ages.

MsEm, Oct 2023

Our guide was brilliant - she spoke clearly, walked briskly (but not too fast) and managed to keep more than two dozen people entertained for the entire tour. It was informative and fun and not too scary.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

We're happy that you and the group had fun, were both informed and entertained by your guide.

Even Anne was Nervous

Terrance_H, Oct 2023

Great walking tour, our leader "Brin" was a great host and had a lot of knowledge and passion around the stories she shared. There were one or two times I felt that tingle at the back of my neck, standing in those same places as the stories can be somewhat unnerving. My wife has a late October birthday, she loves these stories and events, you made us both very happy. Recommended, great tour, cool city.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks so much for joining us on a Ghostly Walk. It's always fun to hear about experiences with tingles. We are so glad that our ghosts were able to give your wife an early birthday gift. Brynne is very knowledgeable and passionate.

A great spooky experience

Dan_Q, Oct 2023

Was a fun spooky experience. The tour guide was great. Victoria is full of spooky stories and buildings.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Agreed, there's a high spook factor in Victoria. Our guides enjoy sharing tales of the paranormal.

Fiona was our tour guide...

Mirai_K, Oct 2023

Fiona was our tour guide and she is wonderful at her job. Had a great time and would recommend to a friend.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

It's great to know that you enjoyed our Ghostly Walk so much that you'd recommend it to a friend. Thanks for coming along.

Good halloween fun with friends and a bit of history

DENISE_B, Sep 2023

Bryn, our tour guide, was incredible! She's a great story-teller. Very enthusiastic, dramatic, used gestures and voices. It was a delightful experience! I learned a lot of cool stories about Victoria's history. it was interesting to hear the ghostly, gory details (tour guide was able to modify if there are children or squeamish folks). Very entertaining. i was sad it was only an hour - i wished it was longer!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Agreed, Brynne is a gifted storyteller who can make the stories appropriate for younger folks to hear. We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with her and the combination of history with the ghostly.

Excellent storytelling! Perfect fall activity

Jamie_N, Sep 2023

Excellent story telling, perfect for the spooky season! It was very accommodating and well paced for all ages and abilities.

Ghostly Good Fun!

bruce_b, Sep 2023

The storyteller was excellent; dramatic, polished, fun. It was fun to hear about the famous “encounters” and apparitions. The research into these happenings was also fascinating to hear about.
