a must-do while in Ottawa! - We had a great time with Pierre as our guide to the beautiful city of Ottawa. We loved learning about the sites we visited and the tour was interactive and hilarious! We would definitely recommend this to others who are visiting for the first time.

Worthwhile!!! - This was the best tour we went on in Ottawa. I would strongly encourage visitors to book this tour on their first day. We rode most of the way through the tour, then we were able to hop off and on as we wanted! Much better than looking for parking! Be sure to ask if they have any coupons for some of the museums!

Great bus tour ! - Great bus tour with live commentary from our tour guide Wendy - we had a good laugh and saw all the highlights! Would recommend!!

Great experience - Seeing the ambassadors and High Commissioner’s houses. The residence of the Governor-General of Canada.

Really recommend this - Wendy was brilliant on this excellent trip. She was informative, engaging and entertaining. Het local knowledge and insight made everything come alive.

Decent tour - The tour was good however the journey only went in one direction which meant we were slightly limited to what we could do as the entire round trip was about 1 hour 40 minutes so we had to listen to the same tour over and over. I think it would benefit from alternating the direction of travel.

Good coverage of the sites, but a somewhat inattentive guide. - Unfortunately for us, our trip (July 24th, 4:00 PM) was bogged down with torrential rain and heavy traffic. The tour still managed to cover all stops (we could not leave the bus due to the rain), so kudos for that. The guide (Pierre) did well to cover the facts about the locations, but there were times when he did not pay attention to the questions/concerns of the tourists. Maybe he was busy with something else, but at times it seemed that he was ignoring some requests/calls. Perhaps I'm a bit nitpicky, but I felt that my concerns (such as water flooding the bus interior) were overlooked. Overall, a decent trip.

Poor communication between museum ( closed or not) and bus staff - We booked a 2 day pass in Ottawa as this was our first time and didn’t want to miss anything. As was recommended we did the entire loop, around 1 1/2 hours the first day. We then stopped for lunch and to plan where we would go to in the afternoon and what we would leave for tomorrow. The first day went very well. Great guides, drop off and pick up in same spot ( though not always signed) . Buses ran about every 40 minutes and we were told that, so were able to plan our stays. Drivers would slow down for photo opportunities. The second day we started out the same way, made one stop, got back on with the intention of going to the War museum. The bus didn’t stop at the war museum because it was closed for a private event. I had checked and had planned to be there at 2pm when it was back open. We weren’t told when we got on that they weren’t going there. Because of this we didn’t get to go back to the war museum as by the time the bus looped around again it would be close to 3:30, the last bus is at 4:30 not enough time to see the entire museum. I don’t like to use taxis when I have paid for the bus tours. Bus tours are a great way to learn history and important landmarks. Next time I will just get one day tour then find alternative ways to get to the different museums or landmarks I want to visit.

Poor Description Disappointing. Directions not clear - No where on the site does it say there is no parking at the start of the tour. We arrived early but had to drive 6 blocks away to park and walk back. We missed our bus as a result. Then the tour guide at the booth said we could walk to the next stop. We did the bus was to be there at 12:30pm she said. We got there at 12:18... waited till 12:50... no bus showed ... exhausted and frusturated we gave up!. Walked back to our vehicle and left! 100$ wasted. I called Viator customer service to complain. She was no help either.. such a waste of time, money and patience. We wanted to see the Capital city as we had Never been to Ottawa. Devestating and Dissppointing.

No flexibility no consideration for changing conditions. - We are senior citizens visiting from the U.S. we are NOT familiar with Canada. We booked a hop on hop off tour. After booking we got a travel warning for Montreal, our next stop. We tried to cancel our booking to be safe from the hurricane. You said NO! No compassion at all!
