Fantastic night tour. Don’t miss it - This was a great way to experience life in New France back in the day! Marianne did a fantastic job staying in character and describing and demonstrating the penal system of that era. The walk throughout town was picturesque in the dark evening hours but set the mood nicely. Would recommend to others completely.

Recommended for a fun evening in old Quebec City - We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Jean. He took us places the day time tours had not. Jean was entertaining and engaged with all guests. We enjoyed a lot of laughs while learning the dark history of crime and punishments of the day.

Interesting history but not a haunted tour - I enjoyed the stories but feel this was mis marketed since there wasn’t really any mention of what was haunted or any ghosts and such. Interesting history though! Just wish there was more explanation of haunting!
