A great way to discover the city of Ottawa

Published on Jul, 2023

I REALLY enjoyed my Ottawa walking tour. It was a group tour but I was the only person who showed up and instead of canceling it they made it a private tour which was awesome. I was able to do some things I probably couldn't have done with a group and I was able to ask more questions and have a better conversation with my tour guide concerning the city of Ottawa and Canada as a whole. I thought my tour guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and upbeat, he made the tour interesting and a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour. I didn't expect much from Ottawa but left wanting to return and experience more. The boat tour was also a great addition to this tour. I felt like it added tremendously to the allure of the city.
