Aurelia was a fantastic tour guide for my group. She answered all of my questions during the tour and was a pleasure!
Booked via viator which charges a fee for the service. Not clear. Better to book direct? However, excellent tour with Lee who was very knowledgeable and informative. Well paced with pit stop.
Informative walking tour with good guide Lee.
Lee was the best guide ever!!! He knows so much about Canadian history and he can make it fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend the tour and if you can request Lee.
There is a lot of Canadian history provided along with explanation of a number of monuments. Parliament Hill was a bit of a letdown as much is significantly under construction. We did not make it to ByWard Market
Lee was an excellent guide, friendly, knowledgeable, a good communicator with appropriate humour, conscientious and sincere in providing the best experience for his customers.
The tour was great! Our guide Lee was amazing! 3 hours was perfect to see everything.
