Ghost and Historic Town Bike Tour

Montagu

Activity Description

Definitely a must do in Montagu!
Montagu has beautiful historical buildings and sometimes people say: “If these walls could talk…” History is preserved through the stories we tell. Your guide, Marchelle van Zyl, will be telling you the stories of the mischievious, the naughty ones and the scary ones who lived here and never left…
During the tour you will hear stories about the history of the town as well as stories of some of the characters who lived here. Marchelle gathered the stories from the town’s people. Whether you want to believe it or not, it is up to you. Some of the stories are just outrages, others might send a chill down your spine.
The tour is informative and fun. No one with a white sheet is going to jump out from behind a tree. Well, if they do, it isn’t planned…

Learn about the history of the town as well as some of the strange and wonderful characters who lived here and don’t want to leave.
Who knows, if you are lucky, you might meet one of them…

Customer Reviews

This was the highlight of our day. My daughter celebrated her 18th birthday and our friend turned 50 on the same day and they both had a blast. Marcelle made the experience even better with her jokes and knowledge of Montagu. We made such great memories on this tour. Thank you!! - Lizelle


The ghost and historical walking tour had just the right blend of fascinating historical facts and spine-tingling ghost stories to make the walk educational and thrilling. Marchelle has incredibly knowledge, is engaging, and has a wonderful way of bringing the stories, characters (past and present) and ghosts (past and present) of Montagu to life. Her passion made the walk and our experience in Montagu all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend exploring Montagu with Marchelle. It's a unique and memorable way to explore the town's rich history and folklore. - Sharon
