This is simply a must do experience - we were fortunate to have Brennan as a tour guide who had the boat laughing out loud with his commentary.

We had an excellent experience on the Rideau River cruise. Though it didn't start as such because we were late (finding parking nearby isn't as easy as we thought it'd be).

We would highly recommend this cruise if anyone is visiting Ottawa.…

Brennon, our guide, made this trip - he’s the best there ever was and ever will be! The boat ride itself is along the canal and is an interesting ride learning the historical aspects of Ottawa. We truly enjoyed the experience. Eel-vis forever!! Keep growing!!!
