This was a fun time, getting a small guided tour through parts of town, and stringing some enjoyable ghost stories in with some "spirited" delivery! Definitely bring a good jacket, a flashlight, and a coffee!

So much fun! Jen was the best. We learned Banff history as well as great storytelling. Thanks for the great evening.

Our tour was with Jack who was a great storyteller and very engaging! We had a great time and would recommend it for anyone looking for a little local history mixed with some spooky tales.
Nicole_S, Oct 2025

Wonderful tour and a great way to see downtown Banff! Very enjoyable ghost stories - highly recommend!
Lynn_L, Oct 2025
Interesting stories, jack (sp) was very animated and friendly! We left midway through due to the rainy, windy and cold weather, but that was not a reflection on the tour at all.
Sarah_M, Sep 2025
Jack was absolutely amazing! She is funny and super friendly - one of the best ghost walks I have been on! The history of Banff is fascinating and Jack brought it to life for us. Highly recommend this activity!
Loryann_S, Sep 2025
We did the tour with Jack and she was incredible! She captivated us with her stories and showed us around the city in such an enjoyable way. I highly recommend this experience!
Jon_C, Sep 2025
Going through Banff and learning about the haunted history of the city through such a fantastic and informative guide (Jac) was definitely an experience worth having! Jac gave us the most authentic and truly terrifying tour of the ghosts present around town, and it was quite the night with how she told the tales and brought the stories to life. Definitely recommend!

We highly recommend this tour. Sam, our guide for the evening, was a wealth of information - both on ghosts and the history of Banff. We found it fascinating AND spooky! Sam even recommended some additional tourist hot spots (the less well known ones) to check out and places to eat. She went the extra mile, answered all our questions - even tho it meant extending the tour by an extra half hour for us. All in all, a great experience with a well informed guide who went the extra mile to make our experience a really good one. Thank you Sam ☺️👍

Our guide Jack was fantastic! She really put her all into the story telling. It was so much fun! Interesting stories, fun facts, and friendly fellow participants.

It was pretty cool. We had a great experience with Jack.
You could tell she loves what she does.
It was our first one ghost walk and it did not disappoint

Knows all history of town and has researched all buildings. Lots of interesting ghost stories. Walked at comfortable pace through town.
Brooke_S, Jul 2025
You will be walking a little bit but it’s slow paced and easy for anyone to do. It was an awesome tour filled with cool ghost stories and history, Mike had a booklet with tons of old photos of locations as well that helped with the visualizing of the stories

This was really fun. Learned a lot of history of the town. It was a beautiful night. Do recommend mosquito spray though! They were huge and hungry!!
Carolyn_S, May 2025
Great guide, casual walk through town and along river. Guide had bug spray which was helpful in forested areas.
Katrina_M, Nov 2024
Sam was an exceptional storyteller and super caring - she was constantly making sure everyone was okay. I was definitely creeped out by all her stories and recommended her tour to the other tour guides who took us on other Banff tours!
Tony_I, Oct 2024
Having a nice walk around town knowing a bit of the history of Banff was great. Mike was friendly and nice to talk to.
Tyson_H, Oct 2024
This was a great way to explore Banff and get to know some of the history and folklore of the town and the people who’ve called it home.
Melissa_F, Oct 2024
Jenn was an excellent story teller. We really enjoyed the spooky walk and hearing all the legends. The walk was fairly easy. We made sure to bundle up for the rainy weather which definitely made the experience enjoyable. Perfect way to spend a spooky, fall evening.
Grace_Q, Oct 2024
Jen was an amazing guide, I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone! Made our trip to Banff complete ❤️

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. Harriet was our guide and she did a fantastic job. She seemed to really enjoy telling ghost stories, and several of them are very compelling and even touching in some cases. She also told some interesting history stories as well, as there are several historical sites along the way. Between sites, as we walked, Harriet and the other tourists talked and got to know each other, which was also enjoyable.
At one point, a bull moose and a few females got close to us, and it was rutting season, so we had to divert our tour slightly and keep an eye on them to ensure we stayed at a safe distance.
It was probably in the high 30's to low 40's (Fahrenheit), and occasionally breezy, but we dressed appropriately so it wasn't a problem.
The tour was from 7pm to 9pm, and all the restaurants in Banff that we checked out after the tour on our way back to our hotel were no longer seating for dinner after 9pm, so we eventually got a few things at the grocery store instead. So, I recommend eating first if you want to eat at a restaurant.
I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Girls weekend! Eight of us on a Friday night ghost walk with Mike. Excellent guide, great history info, a few soine tinglers and one ‘skunk’ down by the river! Five stars! Thanks for a great evening!
Barbara_D, Sep 2024
Good stories. I wish the ghost walker would have dressed the part. It was a little underwhelming, His enthusiasm really helped make the experience more fun.
Robert_A, Sep 2024
The Ghost Tour was a lot of Fun! It was Very Entertaining and also taught us a lot about the local history.
Miranda_B, Aug 2024
Mike(Bob) did a good a job, very interesting stories, very cold walk. Wish we could go into the places during the tour.
Sherokee_R, Aug 2024
We did this our first night in banff, it was a great way to see city, get recommendations and learn some history. Our guide had some fun stories and good info
Bridget_D, Jul 2024
Harriet was our tour guide in Banff last night and she did a spectacular job! Not only was the tour incredible and her delivery of the history/ghost stories exceptional, she was also very personable and engaged in conversation with many of us. An awesome experience, for sure!
Kimberly_H, Jun 2024
Whatever happened to that cute couple who went on the hike in Banff and were never seen again? Find out, plus learn a lot of interesting historical details and meet colorful characters. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, you'll get some exercise and see parts of the town that are not on the main path! I especially liked that our guide shared historical photos along with her stories.
Gina_a, Jun 2024
Nice guide and path around the city center. The stories were a bit of a stretch to call it a ghost tour. Would be better if it were just a historical tour with a bit of ghost flare. Many of the stories were of people that worked for the company.
