I ate my cake and had it 😋 - It was a good way to eat my cake and have it. For a good price, I got a tour of Ottawa's attractions by land, I learnt many interesting historic facts and enjoyed a calm water ride with a great view.

Just OK - Thought it was just ok. Tour guide and driver were good. The thing about driving tours is-they are just that. If it’s not on your side, you don’t really see it.
Then you are gone. Probably just not for us as they were completely booked.

Annoying surprise - Finding out that the amphibious bus broke down and that I could take the 1.5 hr city tour on a double-decker instead. A bit annoying but still a pleasant experience.

Was not told about no water - The guides were obviously nice people. But. They waited until we were a quarter of the way through the tour to tell us we couldn’t do the water part because of the vehicle. The water part was the whole reason I chose this tour! They could have at least told us before and potentially offered refunds because it was lackluster without the water part.
