Fun sightseeing in Ottawa
Published on Oct, 2024
We had a great time! Our guide was so much fun and very knowledgeable. We didn't get to do the boat ride because it was too cold but we still saw lots of great sights. There were only 2 of us on the tour so I really appreciated that they did it anyway and didn't cancel. At the end of the tour he gave us a perfect recommendation for a restaurant. It was really a fun experience. Thank you.
