Excellent tour!

The company complied and serious. The guides who knew the history of the city and narrated it in English and French. The tour exceeded my expectations because it was very complete. The deal with tourists was always respectful and among them the camaraderie was noted. The walk in general was very nice and we learned a lot!

I highly recommend this tour of Ottawa its a great way to see the city

I enjoyed the tour very much and learned a great deal about the city of Ottawa. I saw some beautiful sights and got great photo. You need at least two days to get everything in. I found that the bus was not on schedule according to the times per stop, so I found myself waiting for the bus a few times. Best time to do this tour in July and Aug is mid week days, Friday and weekends are busy.
