Super informative, and fun? The guide was humorous and we felt as though we could have gone for another half hour, honestly! There was a lot going on in the city with Winterlude and the bed making charity event — there was a lot to see and the trolley is quite insulated so it wasn’t cold at all! We definitely recommend going while traffic is still light!

We were able to “hop on” part way through the route which meant less walking to start location. Guide and driver were friendly and helpful. Information was interesting. Bus seats were a little uncomfortable. The cost was well worth it.

Amazing tour. Very informative. Good to have it if your are going to a short trip to Ottawa as it it icludes the main places around the city.

It was a very enjoyable, informative tour, I enjoyed every minute of it, learning a lot about the history of Ottawa, and how it is today

Was just amazing the driver and the guide was so professional and entertaining . Thank you
