    This is a total waste of time. Terrible instructions, plus the app keeps closing and then you have to start all over, it doesn’t remember your previous answers! We quit after 2nd question, completely lost and would advise anyone to find any other tour

    Best experience EVER!! What a fantastic way to discover Ottawa. Samuel at TouristScavengerHunt.com was amazing. He helped link two accounts together so my daughter could challenge her friends. We travelled over six kilometres and spent close to three hours exploring the city - full of smiles! The whole experience was well worth it. Highly recommend!!
