Fun sightseeing in Ottawa - We had a great time! Our guide was so much fun and very knowledgeable. We didn't get to do the boat ride because it was too cold but we still saw lots of great sights. There were only 2 of us on the tour so I really appreciated that they did it anyway and didn't cancel. At the end of the tour he gave us a perfect recommendation for a restaurant. It was really a fun experience. Thank you.

Fantastic tour company - Our guide wad very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Very accommodating to my husband with some mobility issues. I highly recommend viator. We gave another discussion booked with them in a few months!

Gabe our tour guide was... - Gabe our tour guide was excellent and very informative of the history and area. The cruise through the canal was very nice as well.

Excellent Combo Tour - What an awesome tour we had with Gab, our tour guide! Gab was really informative, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and engaging. The weather was glorious and we did all the things during this comprehensive tour. Gab picked us up at our hotel promptly at 8:30am and we set off on our adventure. We drove around the city and learned all about the history of Ottawa. In addition, we drove through the beautiful neighborhood where the various, unique embassies are situated. Then, we boarded a river barge and enjoyed an interesting 90 minute, live narrated tour on the beautiful Rideau canal and learned more about the city, interesting landmarks and historical events. We wrapped up with a walking tour around Parliament, the Library of Congress and the Peace tower. Gab explained the history and significant events associated with these beautiful and important buildings and assorted monuments. Gab then dropped us off at our requested lunch destination at the end of our adventure. He also gave us tips and suggestions on other things to see and do while we're in town. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and highly recommend this special tour when you're in Ottowa.

Book it! You won’t regret it! - Such a worth while tour!! I can’t believe how much I saw and learned. Guide was very kind, informative and knowledgeable! Canal cruise is a fun, relaxing way to wrap up all the sightseeing!

Best tour in Ottawa - The overall experience was amazing. The tour guide was professional and knowledgeable about the area.

Disappointed - Our driver didn’t meet us at our door and was 40 minutes late although we did get a phone call. However, the vehicle provided was a 6 seater sedan but was small for 6 adults to share with the driver. Windows in the back were hard to see out of and the 3 ladies (the shortest) had to climb through the middle seats to get in. The boat cruise along the Rideau Canal however was serene, delightful and informative. Our driver/ guide drove too fast and the information he gave felt like he was reciting from a training manual.

Never again Tripshepherd - TripShepherd Never Again... Turned up with a very small van with no spare seats. At the next pick up the couple refused to get in because of the size of the rear seat so my wife gave up her seat. The driver/guide told us the proper van was in the shop and was given the small one. The guide rang the Tripshepherd office and then offered our money back to leave the tour. Not some of our money, all of our money. We agreed and walked back to the hotel. They refunded just over half not what was agreed to. Never again Tripshepherd

An overpriced Uber Ride to the Rideau Canal Tour - We were picked up at the hotel in a KIA Carnival Minivan. If you are relinquished to the back seat forget about the tour. To get into the back seat you need to be a contortionist. Fun fact: I’m 6’ tall and my head was hitting the roof panel. The side views from the back seat are dismal. The massive seat in front of you blocks any view of the windshield and makes it difficult to hear any comment from the driver. Note: Calling the driver a "tour guide" would be misleading. Her knowledge of Canada, Ottawa and Parliament was poor. Our tour started with naming a few buildings along the way followed by a quick stop to the Notre Dame Cathedral for a self-guided photo op. We drove around a few embassies and residences playing "Guess the Flags" with the driver followed by a quick stop to the Rockcliffe lookout for another self-guided photo op. From there to Gatineau Quebec and stopped Outside the Canadian Museum Of Industry lookout for another self-guided photo op. We rushed back to Parliament Hill via a Parkade and Rideau Shopping Mall for a guided tour consisting of Billboards and two Monuments with a few anecdotes, sometimes erroneous from the driver. Our final destination was the Ekeau Boat ride on the Rideau Canal (1.5 Hours). The Tour was informative and enjoyable. Another Mundane ride back to our hotel, listening about our driver banalities. To summarize: we could have easily walked from our Hotel to Parliament Hill and Notre Dame Cathedral. From our hotel go to the Canadian Museum of Industry, Rockcliffe Park and back to the hotel is about $25-$50 Uber ride. The Ekeau Rideau Canal Tickets Price $50.50 & $48.50 Senior. A far cry from the $318 we paid for an overpriced Minivan ride to the Rideau Canal Tour. This is by far the worst tour taken in 40 years of Travelling!
