We’ve done a number of ghost tours around the world. A fantastic way to learn about the city. Dusty is by leaps and bounds the best tour guide we’ve ever had. It was like being on a 90-minute one-man play!

Dusty is a master storyteller
Dusty is an incredible storyteller, a master of his craft. It's a rich experience and I can truly recommend it, especially in October when Halloween is near.

We had Dusty as our tour guide, and I have to say he is the best storyteller I've ever come across! He spun the stories and folklore in a fun and dramatic way that kept you interested and curious for more. We had a big group for the tour and he was still able to engage everyone and provide some good spooks along the way. Not only was the tour amazing, but Dusty also kept the group safe and together while travelling the streets of Halifax at night. Highly highly recommend to everyone

Highly recommend! Dusty is an AMAZING story teller and really knows how to pull you into the tale. Doing the tour in the fall was perfect since it was dark already during the entire tour but not too cold. If you are looking for a fun way to learn about Halifax's history and believe even a little bit in ghosts, this is the tour for you.
