You get to see a lot of the city of Ottawa in less than an hour. Very beautiful and worth it. Every government building and the history of Canada captured in one trip.
Arrive a few minutes early to get in line to board. Listen to the guide closely as the jokes are fast and funny!
Very interesting and fun! Easy to find and boarded on time. Very friendly knowledgeable staff! Highly recommend!
It is so informative, our tour guy was born in Ottawa, here all his life and studied history at Ottawa U, so he has a love and passion to show us his city and why he loves it so much. I was on the Friday tour at 10:30 and the driver was Bruno. I would love to give him a shout out for all of the knowledge he shared with us in a very short time as well as his sense of humor. Going from land to water is so cool and you get to see the backside of everything, a view I never saw before. I throughly enjoyed the hour. I wish it could have been longer, so much to see. Thank you for an excellent excursion.
It was very nice way to see Ottawa especially since it was really hot to walk. The water experience was different and exciting....slightly werid and scary when it started raining like crazy because you can't see anything.The windows fog up but the driver managed to get us everywhere safely and Sophie was a great tour guide...very knowledgeable and funny with the passengers
I love the tour. Guide is knowledgeable and explain it with humor, making it very interesting.
Lady Dive Tours Our captain was captain Keith. He was very accommodating and a great sport! We were treated like VIP’s from the beginning of our tour until the time we disembarked. The captain took time out of his busy schedule to fist pump us as we began our journey and posed with us for pictures at the end before setting off to do it all over again. He chatted with us and took the time to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. He enjoys his work and it’s evident in the pride he puts into his work. We highly recommend a tour with captain Keith, you won’t regret it! Les trois femmes du nords
Great way to see and learn about Ottawa. Great guide and captain! Would recommend for a family excursion!
The experience is worth it, and you will also learn more about Ottawa. Discovering each place, navigating on the river, a wonderful experience
Booking in advance is easy and convenient. Bus driver and tour guide were very informative and friendly.
