Having been to Ottawa several times and living there for a few months, I wanted to do something different since I had already seen so many of the typical Ottawa attractions. Taking this tour was a great decision! I went this weekend the Crime and Punishment tour with my father. It was a little creepy, but overall very informative and... More

This was by far one of the most boring tours I have ever taken. Perhaps it was our guide (who wasn't very good), the "scary" stories they told us, or the visit to the gallows (which is now a hostel), but there is nothing good I can say about this. I wish I could have my 90 minutes back! More

We went on the anniversary of the hanging of Whalen. It was creepy!! You really jump when they drop those gallows. We had a mock trial in the pub, and it was a lot of fun. The whole tour is well worth it. More

The places were good and actually we felt like we heard strange loud noise at the prison and nobody was there. I knew they did the best they could but I think it was just o.k. More

The haunted tour is not offered during the week in late Fall/winter but we did an evening tour of the old jail by the same company. Great guide. Fun tidbits on history. Will definitely aim to do haunted walk tour next time we get to town. More

I took the "Ghosts And The Gallows" tour and had a blast. It was a laugh from the moment we started out to the moment that we sacrificed our unwilling volunteer (okay, so there were no sacrifices but it was a lot of good, clean scary fun). Touring the old jail was interesting, especially if you happen to be sleeping... More

My husband, my 11 year old granddaughter and myself took the Original Haunted Walk last evening. It was everything we expected and more. We saw parts of the city we had never seen before; some of the beautiful architecture that Ottawa has to offer. The information provided about the ghosts was really scary; quite possibly because its true accounts. Every... More
