5.00The driver and guide were awesome! Lots of info and of course opportunities to stop and take photos!! So happy I booked. Visiting from Whitehorse, Yukon. I lived in Ottawa for 6 years and for some reason have never done this fantastic bus tour. Thanks so much

5.00The story of HOPE as expressed in the architecture and the life story of the Canadian-Japaneze architect. The tour guide told the story in a manner that was emotive and evoked introspection.
Didn't Manage to Catch the Tour

2.00As I arrived too late for the tour--Google Map not being updated on all the construction in and around downtown Ottawa, I missed the tour by a wide margin. This pointed-out one of the flaws in an on-line or app. ticket, namely-- un-foreseen circumstances. Also, although I originally booked my tour on my laptop, after doing so, I needed to have the ticket transferred to my cell ( no access to a printer ), but couldn't manage that. I took a photo of the confirmed booking, yet once I had downloaded the Viator app. to my phone, there was nothing listed on " My Bookings". Possibly someone who is more " tech.-savvy" could have resolved this problem, but that wouldn't have helped with the matter of arriving late. Henceforth, I will only buy one ticket for such a museum tour, as I had to anyway. You never know what problems can arise , on holiday. So, I doubt I will use your service in future,
Must see when in Ottawa

4.00I loved the thoughtful presentation of Canadian history from multiple perspectives. My video-game obsessed teenager loved seeing real weapons, tanks etc up close and personal. A win-win really! Could spend several hours there, we only allowed 2.5 and there’s a lot we missed.
