What To Expect

Ottawa has so much to see and do that it is hard to pack it all in one day, but somehow, we managed it. The Ultimate Ottawa Tour is a half-day tour that allows you to tour some of the city's most popular attractions including various Parliament buildings and the Royal Canadian Mint.

After exploring these landmarks, you will take part on a 1.5-hour river cruise that gives you the opportunity to catch a glimpse of over 55 "must-see" sites throughout the capital city (replaced by a visit to the Museum of Civilization from October - May).

The day begins with your personal tour guide picking you up from your downtown Ottawa hotel. While heading to your first stop on the tour which is Parliament Hill, your guide will give you your first introduction to the city. He or she will be able to answer questions, provide you with fun facts, and point out important landmarks and sites.

The adventure really begins once you arrive at Parliament Hill. Once you arrive, you will be able to explore the halls and various buildings that makeup Canada's Parliament buildings. There will be plenty of free time available to you where you can do everything from exploring surrounding buildings, wandering the grounds, and capturing some amazing photos of the nearby sites.

Your day of adventure and fun continues with a brief stop at the Royal Canadian Mint. At the mint, you will be treated to a person the scenes tour where you will see where the country's coins are made.

The day ends with a relaxing 1.5-hour river cruise that will have you leisurely floating down the Ottawa River. During your enjoyable river cruise, you will be able to view over 55 different sites along the river which include everything from Chateau Laurier Hotel and Rideau Falls to the Parliament Buildings, Supreme Court of Canada, and the Prime Minister's House. (Cruise availability depends upon the weather and only runs from May until Oct 7. After Oct 7 the river cruise will be replaced by a visit to the Canadian Museum of History)

After your memorable river cruise, your tour guide will take you back to your downtown Ottawa hotel.

*Note - this tour does not include lunch. You are advised to bring snacks with you as there are minimal opportunities to purchase food.
