Fun and entertaining - We had a great time with Ariane. The experience does require a lot of walking and movement, so going at night was perfect. The experience was very dramatic and engaging and Ariane included guests in her story telling, which was so nice. I definitely think kids 10 and up would enjoy this for something different at night to do.

First Hand Acct of History - We did the guided ghost and crime tour through Old Quebec and had so much fun. Our tour guide was incredibly animated—she didn’t just tell the stories, she performed them. Every stop came to life thanks to her energy, humor, and ability to pull the group into the experience with questions and interaction. While it was engaging for all ages, I’d say the content leans a bit mature. My 11-year-old had a great time and was fully engaged, but it did spark a lot of questions afterward—definitely something to keep in mind for younger kids. That said, older children and adults will love it. What stood out most was how the tour made the city’s darker history feel personal and memorable, like we were getting a firsthand glimpse into the past. A unique and lively way to explore Old Quebec—absolutely recommend.
