The 75 minute tour is good value. Some great stories. A little confusing in the story sequence and some additional facts on the building could be added but overall a good tour!

Interesting information. Since we were guests in the hotel, most of the information had already been shared with us. The presenter’s rehearsed script was clear and recited with appropriate inflection.

We are from the States and knew absolutely nothing about Canadian history or Ottawa history. This was a great tour! Only 75 minutes! I highly recommend for couples or friends who love learning new things! I would not bring small children. They would find this boring. A curious teenager might enjoy it.
