Ottawa 2026 Calendar of Events

Fun little tour the highlight being able to see the highlights from the river, which is a fun novelty. The guide and captain were great as well!

Well worth the trip. It was a great tour on land and on water. Very entertaining and they answered all our questions.

I and some friends rented e-bikes from Escape for 1/2 day. The bikes were excellent and well-maintained. Staff, including Grant, took extra care in ensuring the bikes were the right size and that we were comfortable riding. I’d recommend this shop highly.

Heidi provided an excellent tour. She provided an informative tour and readily answered all my questions. I would highly recommend.

Great Experience Cheap Fee 3hours walking Good Atmosphere Staff are hospitable

The young woman who was the guide was excellent. She held everybody’s attention and was very upbeat with her descriptions. There was an incident at the time where someone had a medical incident and it was handled extremely well. The hospital was contacted and after approximately one hour, it was decided that the person had suffered an anxiety attack, but she had calmed down Therefore there was no need to take her off of the boat.Unfortunately The boat so long that we did lose some time. It was understandable though.

Guide very knowledgible, friendly and enthusiastic. Great tour to get the feel of Ottawa if you're a fist timer like we were.

Beautiful day on the Ottawa River. Our experience was seamless from beginning to end. Lots of fun!

The team on the boat are very knowledgeable and so personable. It's a wonderful way to learn about and see more of the highlights of Ottawa and its surroundings.

Enjoyable cruise with informative guide. Questions encouraged and answered! I would highly recommend this.

Delightful Musical Theatre. We were looked after well all night. Performances ,musicianship, and singing were excellent- the songs and script were put together carefully, giving you a great taste of Canada- lots of humour involved.Audience also involved in interacting- was fun. Meal of a number of courses was enjoyable and delivered promptly throughout the performance (generous amounts of food)- meal was accompanied with instrumental interludes- lady playing the fiddle was amazing- with all three musicians accompanying well. A thoroughly enjoyable night- anyone visiting Canada should make a booking to attend. Highly recommended.

Fun way to spend an afternoon seeing the town from the water Great bar and clean bathroom. Very relaxing and fun

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.

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.

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.
