I despise leaving bad reviews. It goes against my very nature but I need you to know what you’re getting into!!
I don’t know in which order to express my disappointment with this tour. I have done haunted pub crawls in Savannah (several actually), Galveston, and Cape Cod, and generally we have a good time… we walk, get a drink, we hear a story, we move on, but in this one we felt trapped in a history class.
Oh dear, my friend, read the room. Everyone’s eyes are glazed over, people are yawning and checking their phones. It’s a pub CRAWL not a pub lecture. We are 59 minutes into our crawl and we haven’t moved yet.
The locals, who were sitting at our table and who said this was the last of all the pub crawls on their list, LEFT!
It went on and on. Every time you thought, “oh ok, he’s gonna wrap this up and we can move on” WHOMP another story, that didn’t happen here, at this pub, or even near this pub, somewhere else in Montreal not anywhere near this pub and we’re not gonna walk by it, or a cemetery where their buried either.
When we got to the second pub, we all had to sit in a room and they were going to bring servers, by which indicated this was also going to be a rather long stop. At this point, we couldn’t take anymore and we left.
If you just want to hear all the gory stories of how people died in the past (which we all know if you’ve ever read a history book- drawn and quartered, tortured, burned on pyres) and how those people may or may not be ghosts/orbs, (which we will definitely not be walking past) this might be for you, but if you’re looking for a couple of fun ghost stories and some pub crawling, this is not for you and this was not for us.
Really really disappointing.
