Amazing Ghost Walks tour! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller. He was clearly very familiar with the history and stories, and he brought them to life in a way that was engaging, entertaining, and easy to follow. Great pacing, lots of personality, and just the right mix of history and mystery. A fun and memorable way to experience the city, highly recommend!

Unsettling

Wade_V, Feb 2026

Asher scared me. This is a good thing. Felt very uneasy by the end and hoped not to be haunted by the specters of his stories.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Your feelings are a great indication of how powerful the stories and the storytellers are on our Ghostly Walks. We hope that you were able to settle down and were not visited from the other dimensions.

Amazing tour

Ghostly Fun

Madeleine_W, Dec 2025

An hour well spent! We greatly enjoyed our tour. Fantastic tour guide who told the ghost stories with enthusiasm and skill! We were entertained, learned some history and left with a slight shiver down our spine…perhaps even hoping to meet one of the ghosts!

2 believers and a skeptic, we all had a great time. Fabulous storytelling mixed with a bit of history makes for great entertainment.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

How great that your group of 2 believers and 1 skeptic were all entertained and enjoyed our Ghostly Walks!

I didn’t enjoy it

Michelle_D, Oct 2025

Eh. I will never take another ghost walking tour again. It all seemed silly and fake to me. I guess if you have nothing better to do it’s okay.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate that you gave our tour a try. We’re sorry that you didn't care for the stories. If you are not interested in ghost stories, storytelling, history or a combination of those, it is unlikely that you will enjoy a ghost walking tour. We are glad that you found that out so that you can avoid booking into one again.

Stories that Linger

Laura_C, Oct 2025

We toured with Fiona and she was flawless! Funny, knowledgeable and wonderful comic timing. The stories and location she chose really stuck in my mind.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

How wonderful that you were so moved by the stories that you heard on our Ghostly Walks that they lingered in your mind. We’re glad that you enjoyed Fiona’s storytelling.

Great tour!

Christine_L, Oct 2025

Our guide for this ghost walk was Naomi. She did a fantastic job at keeping everyone on the edge of their seat as she walked us around and told us various stories about the hauntings in the area. We really enjoyed this tour. We are in our 60's and were a little worried about there being too much walking, but we kept up just fine. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks for your high praise of our Ghostly Walks. It’s nice to know that the pace was good for you and that the stories kept your interest the whole time.

Jean_N, Sep 2025

It isn't too much walking so don't worry about how far or fast you will walk. It didn't make me believe in ghosts but it was great to learn more about Victoria through the stories.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

It’s great that as a skeptic you came along with us on one of our Ghostly Walks. We don’t try to convince anyone about ghosts. Our job is to tell the stories and let them land where they do. It’s nice to know that you enjoyed the experience.

Great Ghost Tour!

Emily_P, Sep 2025

Kristia was a great ghost storyteller! She was mindful of the noises around and made sure everyone could hear her clearly. She answered questions about the city and was very knowledgeable! Thank you for a memorable tour! I would highly recommend to those that enjoy these kinds of tours. I try to do them in every new city I visit!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

A Spooky Good Time

Allison_C, Sep 2025

We had a great time on this tour! We had a brief stop in Victoria on our cruise, but it was from 8pm - 12am, so we wanted to find something to do that would actually be open at this time. I was excited to find this tour, because it incorporated ghost stories with information on the history of the area. Fiona, our guide, was so nice and knowledgeable about the history of Victoria. Her stories were creepy and captivating, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I would highly recommend taking this tour if you get a chance.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re so glad that your cruise ship was docked at a perfect time for you to find our Ghostly Walks. It’s nice to know that you enjoyed the historical background and the content of the tales that Fiona spun.

Captivating Stories!

Carol_M, Sep 2025

Due to our ship arriving into port an hour later than scheduled, we were a few minutes late to the tour. Chris was very helpful in getting us connected with the group! Once we found them, we were immediately enthralled with Naomi’s story telling! She was amazing! The ghost stories were intriguing and captivating the whole tour. The walk was easy. It was fun to explore Victoria this way!

entertaining stories, but not enough of them. Would like to hear more ghosts maybe with shorter stories.
