Very interesting tour. Good observation. The guide was very nice, knowledgeable and with sense of humor. Even my teenage kids 18 and 13 y.o surprisingly enjoyed this tour and that happened really rarely in the last couple of years

Was a delightful way to spend the evening and learn some history of the downtown area. The host was well informed and told some great stories!

We totally enjoyed our experience of The Tour very informative. Loved it will definitely be back for another tour

This was both fun and informative, we all learned a lot and had fun scaring eachother with the stories later.

Exceptional trip over the StLaurence on a beautiful day.
