Kate was superbly entertaining! She added great dramatic flavor to her storytelling and made our experience great! Lots of historical details, precise references and a pinch of spookiness…

The experience was awesome! Our guide, Carolyn, was great. I’ve never gone on a ghost tour, but after this experience, would do it again! It was a mix of history about the distillery and Canada along with a few ghost tales collected from the area. Carolyn was a great storyteller!

Tour guide was amazing! Perfect location for spooky fun!

So much fun! Fantastic tour in such an interesting place. Tour guide Kayle was a great story teller and very friendly. I love the tours from the Haunted Walk, they blend history, great locations and first hand accounts into an awesome experience!

What better place to learn about spirits than a distillery! Canadian history

Disappointed

karen_M, Aug 2025
The stories weren't intriguing or show anything that made you go wow. Been on ghost tours in other places and this was not very good. Do not recommend.

I really enjoyed my ghost tour of the Distillery District. Our guide Kit was very friendly, knowledgeable, and shared insights about the history of the area in an interesting way. Many thanks for being our guide!!

Amazing Tour and Guide

Katie was absolutely phenomenal. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and learned a lot and we even had a fright!

Beautiful Area to Visit

Sharon_M, Oct 2024
Walking the distillery and looking at all the shops. I wanted to return when three shops were open for shopping. The history was interesting, but not spooky or haunted at all.

Excellent all around

Martha_B, Sep 2024
What a fun tour and amazing location. Kaley was so knowledgeable, friendly and full of great stories and history. After the tour we stayed in the area which had some cool bars. The Spirit of York distillery is a must.

Good for kids, not very interesting for adults.

Duane_B, Jul 2024
We were hoping to actually go into the buildings. Disappointing it was just some stories. Not at all what we were expecting based on several other similar tours we have been on.

Great tour, learned some really interesting history

Chris_W, Jul 2024
It was a great way to not only learn about the history of the distillery but also some history of the toronto water front.

Spooky Night

Alfred_S, Jun 2024
Interesting history of the Distillery District. Great ghost "stories" (all true). Tour even covers Prohibition period in Canada.

Spooky fun night out

Colleen_M, Jun 2024
Irene is a talented storyteller who brought her spooky stories to life. She is friendly, welcoming, engaging, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend that you spend some time with her on this ghost tour in a beautiful location.

Such scary fun!

Leslie_M, May 2024
The guide Margo was an absolute delight! Knowledgeable and approachable, she made the experience magical. We had an absolutely wonderful time!

It was ok

Cathy_S, Oct 2023
It would have been nice to have more current ghost stories than centuries ago. It was getting boring after listening to that as it wasn’t scary at all.

Cute little short tour

Magali_C, Oct 2023
Cute tour. It is very memorized and recited, kind of feels like you’re watching a play, but it’s a cute little short tour. Would have liked it to be creepier, personally.

It was a very nice...

Asma_A, Oct 2023
It was a very nice experience thank you for the good stories. We would recommend friends and family thanks

Great tour

Jack was kind and knowledgeable!! Great at telling a good story. We had a spooky fun time! My hubby is a history buff and I'm a paranormal buff, so v this type of tour works well for us.

Great Storytelling

Kit was a wonderful tour guide with a great voice for story telling. She gave wonderful energy and clear vocabulary.

Ghosts and cobblestones

Betina_W, May 2023
Kit was fun and very knowledgeable about the distillery. It was really interesting to hear the history connected to the ghosts. I'd recommend getting there a couple of hours early and having a bite to eat or explore the shops.

Sarah was awesome and...

Jason_J, Apr 2023
Sarah was awesome and made our night. Would recommend to all my friends. She was very knowledgeable and added flare to the stories

Great Story Telling

SANDRA_M, Oct 2022
Our guide , Cole was an excellent story-teller and built up suspense throughout the tour. Walking from location to location was a great way to experience the stories. I have already recommended the tour to a friend and we look forward to checking out other ghost tours in the city that Cole mentioned.
