It's a humid Monday evening and yet there are a surprising amount of people waiting for this tour to start. So 2 separate groups were led. Our tour guide was nice, but had a lisp which made certain stories less scary, I really wanted a bearded man with an odd scar or eye patch or an old maid who looked war weary. Maybe I'm expecting too much. Anyway, we only walk within a 4 block radius which was a little disappointing but hey, there are plenty of historic buildings around the king/yonge area. He led us to various old buildings to tell us their harrowing tales which he did with great vigour and enthusiasm so - points to him on that. But I wanted it to be scarier. I guess Canada is just too young of a country for something truly gruesome to have happened... Except the genocide of a whole people.. But no one ever wants to mention that even though those stories are truly terrifying.
Over all I give it a 3/5. It was a fun hour and a half walk and you learn some interesting history.
