5.00It was very nice way to see Ottawa especially since it was really hot to walk. The water experience was different and exciting....slightly werid and scary when it started raining like crazy because you can't see anything.The windows fog up but the driver managed to get us everywhere safely and Sophie was a great tour guide...very knowledgeable and funny with the passengers
pleasant experience

5.00Lady Dive Tours Our captain was captain Keith. He was very accommodating and a great sport! We were treated like VIP’s from the beginning of our tour until the time we disembarked. The captain took time out of his busy schedule to fist pump us as we began our journey and posed with us for pictures at the end before setting off to do it all over again. He chatted with us and took the time to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. He enjoys his work and it’s evident in the pride he puts into his work. We highly recommend a tour with captain Keith, you won’t regret it! Les trois femmes du nords

5.00Pretty neat bus tour. We went on a day that the weather was a like 75 f. It was very comfortable. We sat in the middle of the bus. The line to get on the bus could be better organized but it all worked out. Our bus was 2/3 full. The poor girl (Sophie) who is the tour guide has to talk almost the entire ride as she has to say it in English and French. She must be tired at the end of the day. She did her best and was very friendly. We rode around in the Ottawa River quite a ways. I mention this because I got the impression from some other reviews that we would be in the water and then out very soon. It was a beautiful little cruise on the river. We had a a fun little girl with us who waved to everyone far and wide so it was neat to see people waving back! I would recommend for an hour long little trip.
Cool experience for the family
