Our Rideau Canal cruise was pleasant and enjoyable, and we were happy we went. The guide's tone was casual and comfortable. I would like to have learned even more about the sights and the city from our guide. In hearing her speak with people during the return stretch, it was clear she was knowledgeable and experienced.

It's very practical if you don't know your way around a city. We had two guides, the lady of which gave us a lot more information. Unfortunately, the audio system is very outdated, so we hardly understood anything on the first trip. Nevertheless, it's a recommendation for a first visit.

This trip was really great! After the city tour we saw other sights and the trip over the water is really worth it! From the water you have a completely different view of the city. The guide's explanations were also very interesting. You shouldn't miss it :)

Something different! A city tour on the road and on a river. Informative and exciting. From the river you have beautiful views of the city. Definitely recommended!

It was enjoyable and informative. The Guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun and interesting.
