Tour Details

We'll meet at the appointed time in front of the National Arts Centre to begin this free tour of Ottawa. Let's delve into the history of this beautiful city!

Our journey begins in downtown Ottawa, exploring areas like the Golden Triangle and Centretown, where we'll see some of the city's most iconic buildings. We'll admire the exterior of Canada's Parliament, while discussing how the country is run—its neo-gothic architecture will fascinate you!

Along the way, we'll share fascinating tales of Canadian legends and the city's lesser-known curiosities.

Our walking tour will take us to other places of great historic interest. Among them is the iconic Rideau Canal, a World Heritage Site. We'll also visit the historic ByWard Market, one of the oldest and liveliest markets in Canada. Plus, we'll explore Major's Hill Park, a beautiful park that offers breathtaking views of the Ottawa River.

Finally, we'll return to the starting point and say goodbye after a 3-hour free tour.

Groups

Please note that this free tour doesn't admit groups of more than six people, even if they book the activity separately. If you're a larger group, we recommend our private tour of Ottawa.
