    Authentic ghost storytelling

    I booked this kind of last minute, and I’m so glad I did. Carmela was a wonderful (ghost) guide. She truly committed to the bit and provided an authentic experience. Her storytelling was engaging and funny. The experience overall helped me gain an appreciation for the history of the city. I will definitely recommend to friends who visit in the future :)

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this spooky-good review for Carmela! It’s fantastic to hear that your last-minute decision turned into such a memorable highlight! Carmela's total commitment to character, paired with her brilliant mix of engaging storytelling and humor, is Carmela at her absolute best—and making history come alive through a thrilling new lens is what it's all about! Your wonderful feedback and recommendation have been passed directly to Carmela and our operations team!

    Fantastic Old MTL ghost tour with Jason

    Our tour guide Jason was fantastic! He was so passionate about ghost stories in Montreal and was very personable. Went felt the spooky Halloween vibes. Went with a group of friends from Montreal and it made us feel like a tourist in our own city, we learned so much too! Highly recommend the tour and Jason :)

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a fun and glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic, spooky time exploring the ghostly history of Montreal with your friends! However, it looks like there might be a slight mix-up with the tour provider, as Jason isn't part of our guiding team. That said, we are so glad you had an amazing experience discovering the hidden stories of your own city! Should you ever want to explore even more of Montreal's secrets with us, we would love to welcome you and your friends on one of our tours in the future

    Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour 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 Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour 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 Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 861 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour?

    +

    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 Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour 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 Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 301 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 Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour 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 Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Local storyteller; and 1.5-hour ghost tour. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Old Montreal Ghost Walking Tour?

    +
