    Meet the spirits that haunt the mountain

    A night tour of Mount Royal, with friends, to meet the spirits that haunt the mountain, was the program of my Saturday night, and I am excited! In addition to the thrill, I was able to learn more about Montreal's history, such as the clinical trials in the 1960s, which caused a lot of deaths, as part of the MK-Ultra project, such as the grisly account of the life of a city figure, wealthy Scottish entrepreneur Simon McTavish, who died abandoned, and whose skeleton was desecrated by McGill medical students, for an evening of integration, etc. I say it again, excited! Other visits are offered. The next one, for my part, will be the Old Town pub tour. A big thank you!

    Response from the operator: Merci pour cette critique détaillée et votre recommandation de nos visites et expériences hantées ! Il semble que vous ayez passé un bon moment sur le mont Royal avec Anton ! C'est un conteur très talentueux et je ne manquerai pas de lui transmettre votre critique !

    Amazing!!!

    I’ve done almost all the haunted Montreal tours but this one was my favourite! The story telling is amazing and going up the mountain was like a workout but exciting because you are in the dark with a flashlight. It added to the spookiness! Whichever tour you do it will be fun! Plus you learn the history of Montreal. So if you love history and ghost stories this is for you! Definitely do this with some friends and family to make some great memories! Just fyi if you are doing any of the tours near the water in October wear a good coat because it can get quite cold especially with the wind and if doing the mountain tour in the summer bring bug repellent.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this great review! The mountain is indeed very spooky at night and I am glad you enjoyed it and recommend going! I'm also happy to hear that you have attended some of our other tours and have good advice about them. Much appreciated!

    Tour around Mont Royal

    We went with Dominic and it was really fun! Learned a lot about my own city and part of its history. The guide was really nice with us we were always cared for as he wasn't going too fast and we even had a little extra. Definitely recommend the tour. It is a good walk so be ready.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and great review! I will be sure to forward it to Dominic!

    Despite the difficulty, a big thank you

    I enjoyed my evening though there is a glaring lack of identification of the place and guide. The place has no address or indication. Should have indicators, not easy when you come from outside. Also, the guide should be dressed so that he is recognized and not with jogging panties and sports sweater, he should also have a small microphone. For the rest after finding the place and the guide (fucking bold) my evening was very beautiful. Thanks.

    Response from the operator: Merci pour votre avis. Les directions vers le point de départ, Place Fletcher's Field, sont sur notre page Web et il est également répertorié sur Google Maps. Je suis d'accord qu'un bon costume est important et j'en parlerai avec le guide et partagerai également vos autres conseils. Merci encore d'avoir écrit une critique de notre visite sur le mont Royal!

    Great

    I recommend Ednamation! A ravishing professional actress and storyteller with ghost stories

    Response from the operator: Merci de nous recommander ! J'apprécie aussi beaucoup votre avis et vos photos! Je ne manquerai pas de les transmettre à votre guide !

    Haunted Mount Royal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.

    How much does Haunted Mount Royal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montreal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Haunted Mount Royal take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montreal is not rushed.

    Is Haunted Mount Royal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Haunted Mount Royal?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Haunted Mount Royal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Haunted Mount Royal?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montreal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montreal and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Haunted Mount Royal start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montreal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montreal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montreal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Montreal Walking Tour | Small Group (Max 10) | by MTL Detours, The Original Montreal Mural Arts Tour by Spade & Palacio, Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montreal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montreal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Haunted Mount Royal?

    +

    Included: Professional Tour Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Haunted Mount Royal?

    +

    Tours start at the scheduled time, so it's best to arrive 10 minutes early or the group will leave without you. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Haunted Mount Royal offered in?

    +

    It runs in French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Haunted Mount Royal?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Haunted Mount Royal if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Montreal. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Haunted Mount Royal?

    +

    Across 8 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
