Much fun
Margo told excellent ghost stories and gave good history
via Tripadvisor
Fun and informative evening walk.
Very interesting tour of the U of T’s beautiful campus. Ghost stories were fun but I really enjoyed the history behind the construction of some of the buildings. Our guide Morgan was great at telling the stories atmospherically on a warmish shadowy October evening. Loved her outfit ! So happy she suggested a picture with the “gashed” door. Lovely souvenir. It was all so interesting that I came home and “google” stories for more detailed info and found quite a bit. PS - first tour I’ve taken where there was not a tip jar produced at the end which was impressive.

Engaging and educational
The UofT campus set the perfect stage for the haunted walk. Meredith was enthusiastic and passionate about ghosts but also the intricate history surrounding them! We had a great time, highly recommend

Not recommended.
Absolutely not interesting tour. All stories were the same. Not recommended and waste of time. Not funny at all. I believe it could be done much better.

Highly recommend.
We had great experience. The guide was very invested. She told very interesting stories and the campus buildings provided amazing background to them.

University of Toronto Ghost Tour: Secrets & Spectres: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Toronto.
How much does University of Toronto Ghost Tour: Secrets & Spectres cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Toronto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does University of Toronto Ghost Tour: Secrets & Spectres take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 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 Toronto is not rushed.
Is University of Toronto Ghost Tour: Secrets & Spectres worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Toronto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule University of Toronto Ghost Tour: Secrets & Spectres?
+
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 University of Toronto Ghost Tour: Secrets & Spectres suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book University of Toronto Ghost Tour: Secrets & Spectres?
+
Around 5 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 Toronto 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 Toronto and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does University of Toronto Ghost Tour: Secrets & Spectres 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 Toronto 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 Toronto?
+
On Outty we rank every Toronto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Niagara Falls Tour from Toronto: Boat Ride & Journey Behind Falls, Niagara Falls Canada Day Tour From Toronto + Boat Cruise Option, Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto. 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 Toronto?
+
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 Toronto?
+
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.

+
