5.00We discovered an original way to discover Ottawa, there are only 7 amphibious coaches left like this, not all operational according to our friendly guide Alexis and Bruno our seasoned driver to drive this special coach! Ottawa is a beautiful city to visit.
Great One Hour Trip.

Trip on the river, a splash and a laugh

5.00It's was a lovely way to experience our first visit to Ottawa. The bus ride was pleasant though the city streets, with an informative commentary from our guide Gabrielle. The bus then descended into the river with a splash and a laugh from the passengers. The scenery was stunning and points of interest explained with detail and efficiency but also with jovial comments. Gabrielle came round to take photos of us and to give further information. The guide Gabrielle was very good. Very worthwhile trip we thought.
We had a wonderful time. Our guide Wendy was amazing explaining and showing historical places with. Well informed.
