Great Tour!!! - We loved the Ottawa City Tour! Our Guide (Lee) did an awesome showing us all around Ottawa. He did a great job sharing the history of Ottawa and the formation of Canada (as well as some very interesting and pertinent stories) We started at the National War Memorial where we saw the changing of the guard. We then walked around several areas of downtown and learned about the monuments, buildings, and statues. We then reached Parliament Hill where we saw the key government buildings and saw the Centennial flame. From there, we saw the locks and walked through Major’s Hill Park. We walked by the Basilica, the Peacekeeping Monument, and the US Consulate. We ended the tour by the “Ottawa” sign. As you can see, this tour did an excellent job showing us the key sites of the city and made us comfortable navigating around Ottawa the rest of our stay. We highly recommend this tour (especially if you have Lee as your guide)!

Ottawa - Knowledgeable, entertaining and fun tour with Rodrigo, we were a very small group of 3 as a further 3 were no shows. Didn’t deter him and allowed us to go at our own pace. Thoroughly recommended if you’ve not been to Ottawa before - well worthwhile.

Thank you Aurélia! - Unfortunately there was no tour in French even though we had booked it. Maybe a bug... A guide present for a tour in Spanish offered to take us and also translate into French. Thanks to Aurélia then for this tour. Be careful, the price paid at the start is very low, but you are then invited to give a significant tip ($30/person suggested).
