    Family Ghost Adventure

    Clementine was excellent! She dressed the part and was so enthusiastic and had lots of knowledge. The kids in our group loved this tour. Just long enough and just spooky enough

    The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 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 The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky 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 The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky 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 The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky 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 The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour?

    +

    Around 0 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 The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky 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, The Original Old Montréal Walking Tour by Guidatour. 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 The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour?

    +

    Included: A friendly, professional English Speaking storyteller for your own private group. Not included: Hotel pickup/drop-off; Gratuities; Transportation throughout tour; and Food and drink. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour?

    +

    Your guide will meet you at Place Royal, a small public square located right across Pointe-a-Calliere Museum. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour?

    +

    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.

    Is The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to The Ghosts of Old Montreal: Private 1.5-hour Spooky Tour if the weather is bad?
