Spend 90 minutes on an entertaining tour on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa

Very entertaining tour guide with humorous, sometimes far-fetched, stories. Great fun while slowly cruising the old Rideau Canal through the beautiful riverside parks in Ottawa

Okay boat ride

The Rideau canal cruise meanders down the canal through downtown Ottawa and through residential parts of Ottawa. You see walking trails, bike paths, residential homes, lands down park. The commentary was fun and enjoyable. The river cruise would be more interesting
