Entertaining story telling that stitches historical Victorian Victoria together with hauntingly, unexplainable events.
Was interesting and amusing, plus beautiful weather helps the outdoor experience for sure! Our guide played his part quite well and made the experience worthwhile
our guide did a good job of creeping us out! we booked this 1 hr tour during a 3 hour stop we had in victoria on a cruise, was a pretty cool to explore downtown in the night and learn some history!
This was an Interesting tour. Less than 1 mile walk(0.85 mi). Easy meet up location. Worth the price.
Our guide was a great historian and an excellent storyteller. The tales were fascinating and full of interesting anecdotes. We highly recommend it. The city of Victoria is a great city for ghost stories and our guide brought them to life. Highly recommended.
Host was fantastic , informative and engaging .. she really kept the pace alive. Told great stories and really added great theatrics !
Easy walk. Entertaining. Just remember which way you went. Not able to actually go into buildings, which would have been really neat
This was a great tour! The stories were engaging and the walk was nice and easy. Very enjoyable and the jokes were great!
Brynne was a great tour guide. She dressed up for the part and shared some eerie stories. Definitely loves what she does and made it a great experience. Thank you Brynne!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
It’s so great that Brynne captured your attention from the start of her Ghostly Walks to the last of the stories. She, like all our guides, is an exceptional storyteller.
Asher was ah-mazing!
Great story telling, entertaining, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend for locals or tourists
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for ‘highly recommending’ our Ghostly Walks. We’re so glad that you were both entertained and educated at the same time. Agreed, Asher, like all our guides, is ‘ah-mazing.’
Lots of talk and little else. There was no clear view as to who to meet or any signage . It was lucky to realize the “guy” standing against a wall was the guy.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry that our stories didn't resonate with you, it's hard to please everyone.
They left without us and we couldn't find them. Don't do.it from cruise. Not enough time to find tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hello Wendy,
It’s disappointing that you weren’t able to join us. However, I wonder if it's fair to give us a one-star rating because you arrived very late for the tour. We purposely tell a few stories close to the starting point so that late-comers can find us. Sorry that you were unable to locate the group.
Had a great time walking downtown Victoria while listening to an engaging Emily who made the experience worth while. Thank you for a lovely evening ~ truly entertaining & educational.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We’re so glad that you found our Ghostly Walks to be both entertaining and educational. Emily, like all of our guides is a gifted storyteller
Very fun spooky experience! Learned some history of the city as well as ghostly legends. We were in Victoria for a few hours with a cruise ship. This tour fit perfectly within our allotted time in Victoria. Great excursion for those who didn’t want to do the cookie cutter cruise excursions.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We’re so glad that you joined our Ghostly Walks as part of your cruise ship excursion. It’s nice to know that you had a fun spooky experience.
Fun and informative. The guide manifested great acting skills and was wearing appropriate accessories (ghost earrings etc)
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Glad that you enjoyed the one woman show that was our Ghostly Walks. It’s nice to know that you had fun.
Fabulous, informative, interesting and fantastic tour guide
We all really enjoyed our tour and highly recommend
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for letting us know that you found our Ghostly Walks to be “fantastic” among other great descriptions. We’re glad that you enjoyed the tour so much that you highly recommend it.
A fun walk through the city, I loved the stories. A very fun experience. Asher was a knowledgeable and humorous host.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for letting us know that you learned and laughed on one of our Ghostly Walks. Asher, like all our guides, is a wonderful storyteller.
A great way to spend a hour discovering parts of Victoria and the ghostly history you would not find on your own.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
It’s great to know that our Ghostly Walks showed you parts of Victoria that you don’t think that you hadn’t found on your own.
Guide was a great storyteller and captivated the group. The walk was very easy for those who don’t want to walk far. Interesting facts about the Empress hotel where I was staying.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We hope that we didn’t creep you out too much with the stories about the Empress that you heard on our Ghostly Walks. We are proud of all of our guides' storytelling skills.
Alot of info crammed into one hour. Great host who kept attendees captivated. Excellent stories told while we had to test the spooky examples after the tour!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Stories well told are the hallmark of our Ghostly Walks. It’s great to know that you were so captivated that you went back to the buildings where the Ghosts had been known to frequent
Fiona was wonderful! She really knew her history and made the entire experience interesting and fun. I really enjoyed learning about the darker history of Victoria.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
How great that you enjoyed our Ghostly Walks and hearing about Victoria’s darker side. All of our guides including Fiona are gifted storytellers
It’s a brief tour about why Victoria is haunted with cool stories. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re glad that you thought the stories on our Ghostly Walks were cool and that you found our guide to be friendly and knowledgeable.
Great show. Bring sunglasses if you’re going at sunset. Great history of the city with a spooky element.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
How great that you found our Ghostly Walks to be a “great show.” Good advice to bring sunglasses for the sunset tour.
Fun and interesting tour. Just enough spooky, history, walking, and an inexpensive adventure for everyone. Animated, dramatic guide made it extra fun.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re thrilled that you had an “extra fun” time on our Ghostly Walks. It’s nice to know that you enjoyed spooky tales laced with history.
Victoria is very nice city. It was a little cheesy but it was a beautiful night for a walk and some interesting stories/history.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
It’s nice to know that you liked visiting Victoria and enjoyed our Ghostly Walks.
This was so fun! I liked how we started right in and that the walk wasn’t too strenuous. The stories were great and you could either believe or not. Our group was made up of mostly folks who don’t believe in ghosts, but we all still had a good time.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Believing in ghosts is certainly not a prerequisite to taking our Ghostly Walks. Our aim is to take folks on an easy walk while listening to stories well told.
Chris was a phenomenal story teller who shared specific and authentic ghost stories throughout the historic area. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Our ghost stories are well researched before we share them on our Ghostly Walks. We’re quite pleased that you enjoyed both the stories and how they were told.
Signed up for this historical ghost walk and it was alright. Fun way to spend an hour. Would suggest going at the 9pm walk vs 7:30pm walk to experience more atmosphere. Guide was nice and spoke loud enough (had a speaker) over the hustle and bustle of the people around us. Wasn’t very spooky. There are different walks with different stories. Would have enjoyed more morbid ghostly tales. Felt a bit juvenile.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
It’s great to know that you found our Ghostly Walks to be a fun way to spend an hour. “Spooky” is definitely a subjective word. We strive to find the right balance between scary and family friendly. We’re sorry that the stories weren’t morbid enough for you. It sounds like you were hoping for the tour to take place in the dark. We always suggest to our guests that if they would prefer to take our tours when it is darker, that they check the time of Sun set and book accordingly.
Tour guide was friendly, comical and informative! Really enjoyed the tour! Would recommend this tour for everyone.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
It’s great to know that you had such a great time on our Ghostly Walks. We’re glad that you were part of the tour.
The guide Chris was amazing, made sure the group was able to hear and stayed together. His storys were told in a fun way
Response from Host, Aug 2026
How wonderful that you felt that the stories that you heard on our Ghostly Walks were told in a fun way. We are proud of all of our guides’ storytelling skills.
