Join!! - This is the 1st time I heard this tour and I'm glad I joined it. Our tour guide is Lee and he is knowledgeable about Ottawa history behind each piece and he also has a sense of humor so over the 3 hour walk tour, I and other guests feel very welcomed and learned something about Ottawa and Canada in general. I definitely would like to participate in this tour guided by Lee again next time I come to Ottawa.

Great Tour, Even in the Rain! - A friend came to visit Ottawa, and we thought this tour would be perfect. Even though it rained and we were the only two guests, it ended up being such a great experience. Lee was an excellent guide with impressive knowledge of Ottawa and Canadian history. You would never know he was new to guiding — he was confident, engaging, and did a fantastic job!

Totally worrh it !!! - I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this walking tour of Ottawa! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the city’s history and culture. We covered all the highlights and some hidden gems I would never have found on my own. What really stood out was how engaging the storytelling was a perfect mix of fascinating historical facts, fun anecdotes, and local insider tips. The pace was relaxed, with plenty of time for photos and questions. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local wanting to learn more about Ottawa, I highly recommend this !!!

good visit quite complete - Interesting tour combining important monuments with more unusual places. The guide was able to answer my questions and inform me about the schedules of other visits to follow. It’s good to also combine good restaurant and bar deals, but there shouldn’t be too many.
