Historic Haunts

A lovely day with a blend of city and country charm. Enjoyed visiting all the locations and hearing the story behind the spot/building/location. Loved that it was self paced and was able to bring my dog. Thankyou!

Haunted Anniversary Trip

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a historic haunts road trip here in Ontario. It was so much fun and we learned quite a bit. We also were able to venture out and about to places we were not completely aware of as well as seeing some of the beauty of our surrounding towns. We experienced some great small businesses and restaurants as well. I highly recommend trying this out for yourself.

Haunted trip

Had more hopes for this tour. Unfortunately left underwhelmed. There was some historical value. Lacking in the haunt part. Wouldn’t recommend.
The restaurant recommended at the start was very dirty. The trinket shops were tacky.

Wonderful idea

Absolutely loved this package. My only negative (and that’s even too strong if a word) is the first stop isn’t clearly marked outside so we weren’t sure we were even in the correct spot until we went inside. Otherwise, it’s an amazing experience and we can’t wait until we can book another trip!
