Happy ghost hunting!

Original Haunted Walk of Ottawa
Paul_B, Sep 2026
Happy ghost hunting!
Had a great haunted Ottawa walk with our guide MJ. She told some very spine tingling stories. There was a lot of good variety in the locations and stories. Sadly the ghosts were too camera shy that evening.It can be a bit cold in the evening so wear layers. Wear appropriate footwear as you will be walking for a fair amount of the time. Good luck with your ghost walk adventures!

Rainer was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and informative but also funny and entertaining. We enjoyed the trip very much. The advert says “ free walking tour”. This was not free as we paid to book and also gave sizeable tip.

The tour was excellent. Our agent hadn't requested an ebike for my wife, but escape sorted it without any fuss. The bikes were well maintained and David, our guide was informative and friendly. He also managed the group exceptionally well, keeping everyone safe and at a pace that suited the whole group. Highly recommended
