2.00Not good, bus drove so fast you couldn't see anything. Would not recommend. It was a rainy day with very few people, driver even said we were ahead of schedule.
Merci Emile!

5.00Emile was an excellent tour guide with a wealth of knowledge about the city & a nice, relaxed way of relating stories. Myself, my sister & my 2 friends & really enjoyed the tour. We even got over to Gatineau, so my friends could say they’ve been to Québec!

5.00Looking for a great way to "get to know" a city? The "Hop On/Hop Off" bus tours are perfect. This one in Ottawa was ideal. The driver navigated the one-way streets and the narrator pointed out highlights in English and French. We chose the Air Conditioned double decker vs the open top. We saw a number of places we'd like to visit after we finished the full bus circuit. Thanks so much for helping us to appreciate the city.
