Brrr on parliament hill - probably not the best idea to walk around Ottawa on one of the coldest days in several years but ...it worked out for the best. Got to see the sights and experience the full complement of Canadian weather and friendliness

It was an amazing... - It was an amazing experience. Lee, my tour guide was so knowledgeable and kept on telling bits and pieces of the history of this beautiful place, Ottawa. The best part was that he not only focused on the monuments and parks and installations on our tour, but really got us to know the person and the reason behind their existence... I loved my tour and would recommend it to people new to the city or even to those who live here.

The very prepared and friendly guide - Excellent explanation and description of the places traveled; the cold was very raw and that avoided enjoying to the maximum but outside of that, everything excellent. I suggested transportation to better enjoy the ride.

Lucky for me I was the... - Lucky for me I was the only participant during my tour, so I got to ask a lot of questions and learn about Ottawa and Canada! Tro was a great guide - he told me a lot of history about Ottawa and the locations we went through. I liked how he pointed out his personal favourites (murals and sculptures) during the tour. Overall great experience.

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.
