FAQ
Is This a Ghost Tour?
No! Nothing too spooky on this one. The experience shares untold stories from Ottawa, secrets hiding in plain sight, and unexpected funny tales that you won’t find on any other tour. We also have lots of great ghost tours you can try too!
Are Tickets Refundable?
Change of plans? No problem. Cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. If something comes up, please contact us as soon as possible so we can offer the spot to another guest.
Is This Tour Accessible?
This tour makes use of sidewalks, street crossings and other city infrastructure. While most areas are fully accessible, occasionally we run into construction or other unpredictable situations where we need to alter our route. For that reason, we recommend this tour be considered accessible with assistance.
What's Included in the Ticket Price?
The price you see is your final cost before taxes. It includes a service fee that covers secure payment processing, platform maintenance, and your full booking experience. Nothing added at checkout.
Is This Tour Dog-Friendly?
Yes! We’d just ask that you keep your dog on a leash throughout and be mindful of other guests. Our dog-friendly tours in Ottawa are: The Original Haunted Walk of Ottawa, Ghosts of the Mackenzie King Estate, Tales From the Mausoleum at Beechwood Cemetery, and Hidden Ottawa.
