Fantastic host and storytelling - Kitt was a great host and an even better storyteller. She made time fly by and regaled us with amazing history tidbits. Definitely recommend as an activity to learn more about the distillery district.

Extraordinary walking tour. My guide was Paul and he was amazing. All the spooky details he shared are great. - Paul was truly amazing; his deep knowledge of spooky details and historical facts turned our snowy walk into a delightful adventure.
The storytelling and the way he guided us through the walk made it a very enjoyable evening.
We were all on the lookout, peering through our eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse of the ghosts during the tour.
A huge thank you to Paul and the entire team who put together this experience!

What better place to learn about spirits than a distillery! Canadian history - The experience was awesome! Our guide, Carolyn, was great. I’ve never gone on a ghost tour, but after this experience, would do it again! It was a mix of history about the distillery and Canada along with a few ghost tales collected from the area. Carolyn was a great storyteller!

Great activity in the Distillery District for both locals and tourists - Went actually before 2024- was a great experience, but it was February and freezing at night- dress warmly and bring a hot beverage/some Hot Hands to help. Our tour guide was super informative and was great at leading our group at a good pace. It's a great way to experience the Distillery District with some extra history and in a new light. Good for both locals and tourists.

Great Distillery experience - We had a great time! The Distillery District is beautiful by itself, especially at night, but it was much better to have a guide telling stories. The stories were both historical and haunting, which I loved. It's out in the open, so no real protection from the elements during the cooler months, but still lots of fun.
I would have loved more detail in the ghost stories, though.
