The bus was completely full. The destinations were not the places where anybody was getting off the bus. The destination locations were completely empty and deserted there was hardly anybody over there. I would not recommend this.

Great tour of Ottawa. Been here many times (to work) and learned so much from the guide. He was wonderful, explained everything in both English & French. Great recommendations for different areas of the city & some funny stories too. Worth every dime.

We caught the 10:00 am bus with Richard (driver) and Christine (guide). They were both excellent and made our tour very enjoyable. Great commentary by Christine with lots of extra tidbits of information and history. It is recommended to take the full 90 minute tour and then go again to hop off at attractions you want to explore. Great way to see the city and surrounding area without the stress of driving and parking. Just relax and enjoy.

Once we checked in we were given a list of all the stops. We had wanted to go to the RCMP stables but, unfortunately, it was closed for the summer so we stopped at the Experimental farm to see all kinds of animals, cows,pogs, rabbits, alpacas, goats sheep and horses too. our daughter loved it! It was an added expense but well worthy it if you have kids. Lots to see there! We had also wanted to stop at the Aviation and Space museum but it too was closed since it was ‘Wednesday and that was their day to be closed apparently. It was very easy to hop off of one bus at a stop and then hop on to the next bus that arrived on time according to the schedule given. We also stopped at the National Gallery and Notre Dame cathedral which is beautiful! We did have to wait for a mass to finish before we could enter but there is a schedule right outside the door. Well worth the wait to see how beautiful the cathedral is on the inside. While we didn’t get to see 2 of the stops we had planned on seeing since they were closed we were still able to see a lot anyway. Well worth it for us.

Frantic and not relaxing
Lauriea_F
, Jul 2022
This is an "okay" tour. It shows the highlights of the city. The trouble with the tour is it feels and sounds Frantic!! Not at all relaxing! And a struggle to follow. This is because it is English and French. I totally get we are a bilingual country, but the poor guide had barely time to catch her breath between sights. I didn't enjoy this and neither did my guests. In other countries there is options of several languages with headphones. Not sure if this is available here but that might help.
