Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
There are few places more historic, charming, and haunted in Canada than Queen’s University. There are eerie tales of student grave robbers, professors reaching out from the beyond, heists gone wrong and streets shrouded in mystery. We’ve never told these stories before and can’t wait to share them with our guests. You won’t hear spine-tingling and heart-pounding tales like these on the regular campus tours. Join us for the Ghosts of Queen’s University and graduate with a degree in the supernatural!

      Highly recommended!
      My daughter booked this tour on a visit to Kingston, thinking I'd like an historical/scary outing and she was right! Chip, our guide, really played their role well (walking along with the lantern held just so), telling great ghost stories and giving us snippets of Kingston's history. The fact that it was dark & cold made it even more realistic. Somehow, certain things coincided with the tour like lights turning off and people happening upon us...made it even more fun!

      An evening of spooky and historic stories in historic downtown Kingston
      On November 2nd 2024, I decided to go on the Haunted Walk of Kingston original tour for a first date. When we arrived at the walks starting point 15 minutes early (as per the company’s request) we were immediately greeted by the evenings tour guide, Liam. He took our information, confirmed we were on the list and was happy to answer any questions and make conversation with us. The walk had around 20 people, 3 dogs and took 75 minutes. Liam walked his tour group to different spots around historic downtown Kingston, regaling us with spooky and historic stories. The stories were sourced, well articulated and riveting. All in all, it was an excellent experience and a lovely idea for a first date. P. S. Liam ensured that the group navigated the city safely, was happy to take pictures, and was an overall friendly and effective story teller. Walking conditions were easy, mostly on sidewalks. Consider dressing weather appropriate as the entire tour is outdoors.

      👻🚶‍♂️ "Spooky Spectacular! A Ghostly Good Time!" 👻🚶‍♀️
      Picture this: a group of brave souls, following a young student draped in a cape, as she fearlessly leads us through the darkened street of the Queen's Campus. With each step, she unveils spine-chilling stories of ghostly encounters, making us question whether that cold draft was just a draft or a ghostly presence trying to say 'hi'. But it wasn't all screams and goosebumps! Our guide was like a beacon of knowledge, shining light on the darkest corners of campus lore. Questions were fired at her like ghostly orbs, and she handled them with the expertise of a seasoned paranormal investigator... or maybe just a really dedicated student with a knack for storytelling.

      Amazing tour , friendly guide
      Would like to start by praising our tour guide Lauren, she was a fantastic story teller and absolutely made the experience. This tour is a great way to experience a spooky telling of the forts history and can highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the supernatural, believer or not. As for the photo (right hand window) , wether it was just a shadow or some kind of apparition I’m not sure…

      Absolute Must Do!!
      If you are looking for something super fun to do in the evening, I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Savannah was exceptional!!! She was very knowledgeable of the events she spoke about and included her own stories/experiences which made the evening even spookier! Our group thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Fort Henry was creepy in the dark but the stories and stops added to the experience. Thank you Savannah for a great tour!!

      Great tour with a great guide!
      Our guide Mya was wonderful. She told us so many great local ghost stories and pieces of local history. The tour was a good length and the walk was very accessible. Overall a great experience!

      Great family experience
      Allison was our tour guide for the night. She was amazing and you could tell she really loved her job and telling all the ghost stories. We went as a family with our 14 and 12 year old. All of us were so immersed in all the stories and loved sightseeing in the process. This was such an incredible and unique experience that made us fall in love with Kingston. It was a 2km walk so running shoes are good to wear. Also gets cooler in the evening so bring a sweater or jacket. Water bottle is nice to have and can use washrooms at The Original Haunted Walk of Kingston at 200 Ontario street. Would definitely come again! Went for gelato at Mio which was very close to there at 178 Ontario street which. Yummy! Perfect end to a perfect night.

      Amazing tour with Tiz
      My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of having Tiz as our tour guide! The way they told the spooky stories was captivating and kept us on the edge of our seats all night! We were lucky enough to be the only people on the last tour of the night (sorry Tiz for making you take us alone so late at night!!) they made the whole experience as comfortable as you possibly could be in a haunted location and it was definitely an experience to remember! We look forward to doing more ghost tours in Kingston and hopefully we have the same guide!

    I went on this tour on Halloween night. It was a phenomenal experience, introducing me to the town and the university. The guide, Regan was friendly, knowledgable and a terrific presenter. I would highly recommend this tour, it is fun for the whole family.

    Really well done! Our guide was a Queen's grad, and made the tour really entertaining. Would recommend for Queen's grads and ghost enthusiasts alike.

    I’ve done all three haunted walks in Kingston and, while this one is okay, it’s my least favourite. The Fort Henry walk is the best, the Original Kingston Haunted Walk is second best, and this one would be my last choice. The stories were meh. It was partially because our tour guide was newer and recited a memorized script rather than having it sound like a story telling experience. There was more walking than talking and our guide was not interactive/conversational at all. I felt it was overpriced for what it was. Do the Fort Henry tour instead.
