    Great tour but you need to book a separate tour to enter the royal mint which we didn’t know so when we got there all tours book for that day. That was disappointing

    My wife and I enjoyed this 90-minute cruise along the Rideau Canal. The narrator was entertaining, and it was great that she went back and forth between English and French throughout the trip. The scenery along the Rideau Canal is lovely and the trip was very relaxing. It was maybe a little pricey, but overall the cruise was well worth it.

    Very good and informative tour. We managed to get on a earlier tour as there was space from a no-show, and they held the bus and lowered the steps so we could get aboard, which was great customer service. Good views of Parliament hill from the river and moving around the city. Light and spacious in the bus, windows open to get better photos!

    I REALLY enjoyed my Ottawa walking tour. It was a group tour but I was the only person who showed up and instead of canceling it they made it a private tour which was awesome. I was able to do some things I probably couldn't have done with a group and I was able to ask more questions and have a better conversation with my tour guide concerning the city of Ottawa and Canada as a whole. I thought my tour guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and upbeat, he made the tour interesting and a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour. I didn't expect much from Ottawa but left wanting to return and experience more. The boat tour was also a great addition to this tour. I felt like it added tremendously to the allure of the city.

    I love walking tours! This tour was my first experience with this company; I especially enjoyed the spooky edge. Let's say my fear of ghosts was definitely tingling with eery anticipation. The historian in me was also appeased. Monica was our guide: she was A+. Can't wait to try more of these in Toronto!

    This is put together well and will take you on an amazing walking tour of downtown Ottawa. We may have even learned a few things! (Note: Wear comfortable shoes!) Thanks.

    This is a great way to explore Ottawa. Not only did we get to see various outdoor works of art, we also had fun reading the intriguing story and solving the clues. There was also interesting information provided about the artists and related historical events.
    It is a lot of walking and we found that it took longer than expected. I would suggest wearing comfortable shoes and giving yourself lots of time to thoroughly enjoy the experience.

    What a great thing to do in Ottawa! David was an excellent host and the stops on the tour were fantastic. If was so much fun being with other beer drinkers and by the end of the evening we had become one big group of friends. Oh...and the beer was excellent. My favourite part was when we had a sample direct from the tank...doesn't get any fresher than that!!!
