I was genuinely excited to embark on the haunted ghost tour of Montreal, especially as we’ve enjoyed many similar experiences across the United States and beyond. With high expectations set by the enticing descriptions on the website, we anticipated an engaging evening filled with spine-tingling tales and eerie encounters.
Unfortunately, our enthusiasm quickly faded. We ended up leaving a quarter of the way through the tour, as it became clear that the host lacked both the charisma of an experienced storyteller and a firm grasp on the narratives she was sharing. Instead of the ghost stories we were hoping for, what we received felt more like a history tour—one that was disjointed and poorly articulated. The details were often inaccurate, which detracted from the overall experience.
The host's performance felt amateurish, as if it was only her first or second time leading the tour. While we understand that not every tour can be perfect, the lack of cohesion in the stories made it difficult to follow along. We hoped for chilling tales that would send shivers down our spines, but instead, we found ourselves underwhelmed by the sparse ghost stories and lacking excitement.
While it’s possible that the tour may have improved after our departure, we ultimately decided that our time was worth more than enduring a lackluster experience. We had invested our money, yet the return was disappointing. For anyone seeking thrilling ghost stories and an engaging atmosphere, we would recommend passing on this tour. The organization seemed more focused on quantity than quality, as evidenced by the large group sizes and the evident lack of talent in the presentation. Save your time and seek out a more captivating experience elsewhere.
