“A very enjoyable experience with a good overview of Ottawa. The only disappointing thing was passing by the RCMP stables with no sign of any kind of activity of either the human or equine variety so I am not sure why it was included unless it just happened to be part of the route. Otherwise it was a great tour. Our guide, Pierre, was excellent - very informative and entertaining. And the bus driver, another Pierre, was very skillful.”
