Free walking tour?
Rainer was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and informative but also funny and entertaining. We enjoyed the trip very much.
The advert says “ free walking tour”. This was not free as we paid to book and also gave sizeable tip.

Ottawa walk with Heidi
Such a thorough, interesting and entertaining walk with Heidi this morning. What a facinating history depicted through geography, art and architecture. Great weather made it all the more pleasant.

Knowledgeable Sophia
Sophia was our guide for a private Ottawa walking tour on 19th September.
Sophia confirmed the timing the night before and was very prompt meeting us in the hotel reception.
The weather was dry and the sun did come out perfect for the walk.
Sophia was full of information and antidotes about the city and the conversation flowed very easily. We covered many places including Parliament Hill, ByWard Market, Sparks Street great architecture and stories, the War Memorial and saw the guard change.
Sophia gave us recommendations which we did a superb visit to the Canadian museum of History. Plus poutine eating 😁
Thank you Sophia for a great introduction to beautiful Ottawa.

Ottawa Boat Cruise – Rideau Canal CruiseAnneofcuriosity, Sep 2026
Excellent 80th birthday on the canal
We booked the entire electric boat for a 2 hour cruise on the Rideau Canal. Our birthday celebration for our mom’s 80th was wonderful. The 45 guests were thrilled with the experience. Huge success!

The boat cruise was a fabulous way to see Ottawa from the water. It provides a totally different perspective on buildings such as Parliament and the Supreme Court. In addition the view of 24 Sussex Drive and curious embassy residences was spectacular. Finally, Rideau Falls was an added bonus which I never even knew existed.

Ottawa – Byward Market Food TourjanelZ2633UK, Sep 2026
Beaver Tail with a twist of lemon
Perfect food tour to learn about the area around the Byward Market. Great pizza at Grand, Tacos with hot sauce in the market, Tea of choice at the Teastore, pictures at the Ottawa sign, gelato and of course a Beaver Tail with lemon juice, instead of cinnamon sugar. All so good!! Our guide on September 1 was charming.
