The tour is a great way to see old Montreal and is as much a really interesting lesson in the history of the neighbourhood as a tour of the supernatural, but definitely had elements of both. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see more of Montreal, learn about it's history and hear some amazing ghost stories”
