    This ghost tour was fantastic—both informative and entertaining. I loved that we could explore the Bytown Museum after hours. Just a heads up, it's not ideal for those with mobility challenges due to old staircases and dim lighting. I recommend this if you've already experienced other tours and want something unique.Emma_L on the Haunted stories at the Bytown Museum in Ottawa tour
