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.

Fantastic & ghostly experience. - We really enjoyed this tour. Good sized group but it was still easy to hear and follow along. A great mix of the history and ghost tales at each stop. The tour guide was dressed in character and their enthusiasm for story telling shows through. 10/10 would definitely do this again.

Disappointed - The stories weren't intriguing or show anything that made you go wow. Been on ghost tours in other places and this was not very good. Do not recommend.
