Ottawa 2026 Calendar of Events

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.

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!

Christian was our guide and he was enthusiastic and super professional. A great ambassador for Ottawa.

It was a fun adventure The tour guide was great. He was very informative, knowledgeable and funny! The captain was good too

Great intro to the city. Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Would recommend as an overview of the city then go back to explore other parts.

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.

Very good experience and a must when in Ottawa.

Very enjoyable, excellent guide.

More info on parking. We ran late because thete was no place to park near the designated area that was marked parking.

We booked this trip for our trip to Canada & we travelled to Petrie Island Park from downtown Ottawa by bus it wasn’t any hassle , although the weather wasn’t the best we still had a great time kayaking around the lake , the owner of the business is really helpful & knowledgeable we saw plenty of wildlife & overall had a fab time

Beautiful trip down the river, delicious drinks, tour guide was very informative and staff of the boat were very friendly and accommodating.

Just to let you know we enjoyed our walking tour with Heidi yesterday. She is very knowledgeable and delivered a comprehensive tour of Ottawa’s historical background, its culture and how it developed to the vibrant place it is today Irene

The tour is well organized. Upon arriving at the parking area, there is the guide who will give you all the information during the trip.

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.

We had the best time and our guide Shania was very fun and new a lot about Ottowa history!

Fun environment & venue! Very friendly & engaging staff & performers! Their singing, dance, & comedic talents were extraordinary for a dinner show; way beyond what we hoped for! Their talents are at the level we see when attending large scale musicals. We left smiling & feeling energized & full! The dinner was awesome & held a wide variety & drink prices were reasonable.
