Follow a costumed storyteller through Old Montreal for 90 minutes of grim history, haunted places, and theatrical ghost tales.

“I like he fact that the stories were based of factual history and I learned a lot about the old city. The guide was very knowledgeable, dramatic, And held the groups attention. One criticism would be that Some stories ( especially those about prostitutes) were not child appropriate so the age of 8 may be too young for this tour.”

“This tour combined history with fun storytelling. It gave a great sense of what life was like in the 17 and 1800s. It was raining pretty heavily but we soldiered on, as did our amazing guide, Frank. He was a talented storyteller and very engaging. We had a private tour since no one else wanted to brave the weather. I would highly recommend it!”

“We bought tickets online and the name of the pub was listed. I was texted a link with the barcode for the tickets and an option for a pdf. I thought they were printable tickets. We Google the address for McKibben pub and drove there. We were a bit early so we waited in the car and arrived outside the pub 5 minutes before it was to start. We went in to ask if anyone was already there and the waiter had no idea what we were talking about. We went back outside and tried to call the number and got voice-mail. I replied to the text asking for help…”
