The tour guide and driver were very nice, friendly, and helpful. Sitting in the open air on a hot day was a lovely way to see the city. On Canada Day the museums are open to the public for free and the tour took us to several museums that we could hop off and enjoy.

Was a great tour. Both guide & driver were friendly. We were able to purchase ponchos due to it starting to rain at the start of the tour.

Our guide was Abby and our driver was Max best team ever! Our driver starter off by complimenting our punctuality and then serenaded us! Hilarious!!! 😂 if that doesn’t start you’re morning off with a smile….you’re pretty much dead! He was Mr. Personally and very positive. Our guide had an extensive amount of information to learn for the duration of our tour and we were so impressed with the ease in which she was able to presented it all. Good for you Abby! Keep up the good work! She did exceptionally well and we learned a lot about the city of Ottawa and Gatineau. For a fun and informative trip through the city we highly recommend this tour.

The hop-on-hop-off bus tour in Ottawa was booked at the central departure point. Everything was clearly organized and well explained. The departure was on time, and the bus was very clean – significantly better than some other hop-on-hop-off bus tours I have experienced. The guide was very easy to understand, spoke pleasantly, and also took small pauses while telling the story, so it was easy to follow. Overall, the tour was very successful for the price and is definitely worth recommending.
Great time!
