This is a relaxing cruise along an historical canal that takes in quite a few of the sights of Ottowa. The seats are not particularly comfortable and we ran out of wine so there were some drawbacks but it was interesting to hear the history of why the canal was built.

Great way to see the canal. Comfortable boat and good commentary. Recommend for your stay in Ottawa. Directions to get to the boat could have been a little better.
