What people are saying about Ottawa

Our guide was outstanding and went well out of her way to make our day in Ottawa a special day. She pick us up and drove us to Ottawa and showed us everything there was to see She made it a special day and even showed us how to get to parts of Montreal we couldn’t find I’m not sure seeing Ottawa is worth the 2.5 hours each way but that’s not her problem she was great
