All were good and excited It was nice knowing the history and how rich Canada s back ground. People who sacrificed their life to establish this richness are great. Their sacrifice worth it. I believe every citizen should contribute to retain the history any glamour of Ottawa. But sad part to see lot of homeless people and their condition

Simply a fun way to see the highlights without the responsibility of driving. Wendy was our guide ... she was fun and upbeat.

We had just arrived in Ottawa & were looking forward to learning about the highlights of the city. Advertised as 1.5 hour tour was a very rushed 1 hour tour. The tour guide spoke so fast ( in French & English) several of us missed a lot of what he was saying. He was loud enough but his rapid speaking was often incomprehensible. A disappointment for sure because we count on hop on hop off tours to enhance our trip. We would recommend hop on hop off city tours but with a different guide.

We were unable to ride since we could not find any parking. We spent close to a hour looking and nothing was available. It may have been because of set up for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. You are better off getting a cab to the stop and parking away from the capital

The weather was perfect 👌 👍 🥰. Windy, cooler Temps. First time visiting Ottawa, beautiful scenery all around. The only complaint I have is not taking the time to take pictures of the locations, the bus driver was driving way too fast!!!! That's not good customer service for tourists. The guide was awesome, very detailed.
