Not worth it

Kayla_T, Sep 2026

This tour was not worth what it cost at all. There were only three of us, which made it a bit awkward. Our guide was a young guy who was clearly just doing this job for a pay cheque. He had no passion or theatrics that I would expect. He just walked us from one spot to the next, told us the story and moved on.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thanks for sharing your honest feedback. I’m sorry the tour wasn’t what you expected. I personally believe in bringing history to life through engaging stories and genuine conversation, rather than putting on a theatrical performance. That said, I understand that every guest looks for something different, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I will take your feedback on board and keep working to make tours more memorable. I’m truly sorry again that the experience didn’t meet your expectations.

Chris was very engaging...

Chris was very engaging and good stories about the history of the area and some of the buildings. Nice tour

Great spooky time

It was really fun! He was a great story teller and we loved the stories that were told. Would recommend :) accessible walking (decently) mild walking the only thing is it’s partly uphill

Ghosties Everywhere!!!

It was wonderfully entertaining and a fab way to learn about the "darker" side of Halifax's history. Kris was friendly and his theatrical way of story telling made it super fun. I would highly recommend taking the tour - it's held after dark so it's atmospheric and spooky enough to enjoy without having nightmares! 😅☠️ Thank you for an unforgettable experience, Kris.

Worth looking into reviews prior to booking

Sandra_T, Aug 2026

Underwhelming, our guide was vague about dates, dressed in shorts t-shirt and ball cap. Perhaps I am just familiar with the ghost walk in Kingston Ontario, where the guide is dressed in period costume well-versed in the history of the city and took us on an extensive walk..

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hello, and thank you for pointing this out. I try to keep things easygoing and don’t go too much into dates and history, as my main focus is on sharing the haunted stories themselves. As for the dress, I’ll try something different next year. I believe more in delivering the stories and creating an engaging atmosphere rather than doing a theatrical-style performance. That said, I really appreciate your comments and feedback, and I’ll take them into consideration. Thank you again!

Great ghost tour

Mike_C, Aug 2026

Great tour, especially because it is at night time. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a sense of humor. He made everyone comfortable and was a wealth of knowledge. Totally recommend!

A fun little walk

Sebastien_P, Jul 2026

We had so much fun and heard great ghosts stories. Our guide was fun and a very good storyteller. It’s too bad he permitted people to smoke during the tour, as I was there with children and it kinda ruined the experience a bit. That aside, it was a very fun way to spend an evening in Halifax.
