The tour was wonderful. Lots of detail and sites to see both on land and water. The boat trip on the Rideau Canal was excellent. Katherine was an engaging and charming tour guide.

The visit to war memorial and cruise were cancelled. I was offered a refund if I cancelled, still haven’t heard from company. If there was a no star option that is what I would score this tour as. Totally disappointing and to only be informed virtually 24 hrs before made it hard to arrange something else!

The tour was spectacular. Tyler was awesome and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the walking part the most, but all of it was great.

Katherine our tour guide was very friendly and informative about the history of Ottawa. She took us to places we would never have found on our own, some with great views of the city. We had a beautiful cruise down the canal and also a great walking tour. I would highly recommend this tour.
