Itinerary
Rideau Hall - The official home of the Governor General of Canada. In 1977, Rideau Hall and the surrounding sites were also part of Canada’s national historic heritage.
The canal was opened in 1832 as a precaution in case of war with the United States. It remains in use today primarily for pleasure boating, with most of its original structures intact, operated by Parks Canada. The locks on the system open for navigation in mid-May and close in mid-October. It is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America, and in 2007 it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Parliament Hill is one of Canada’s most iconic landmarks, located in Ottawa and overlooking the Ottawa River. It is the political and cultural heart of the country. At its center is the Centre Block and the famous Peace Tower, surrounded by historic Gothic-style buildings. Visitors can explore the grounds, join guided tours, and experience national events like Canada Day. A visit to Parliament Hill offers a perfect mix of history, architecture, and scenic views.
ByWard Market is one of the oldest and liveliest districts in Ottawa, known for its vibrant mix of history, culture, and local flavor. By day, the market features fresh produce, artisan goods, boutiques, and cozy cafés. By night, it transforms into a lively hotspot with restaurants, bars, and entertainment. A must-try here is the famous BeaverTails pastry. With its energetic atmosphere and variety of experiences, ByWard Market is a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors.

This was our second Trip with Joyce within a week. Joyce welcomed us back on meeting up at pickup location. Joyce explained the days itinerary with lots of facts about the location we were visiting. For the first two stops, Rideau Hall and parliament hill we stayed as a group but allowed to walk freely around. Then we were dropped off at Byward Square with free time to enjoy strolling around, visit the market and take lunch. We had a choice of two afternoon activities, river cruise and the Museum or you could do both it you wanted too. Both at an additional cost. If you did neither or only one of the afternoon activities you had free time until meeting at pickup location for trip back to Montreal. Coach trip to and from Montreal is just over two hours. In all a long day but worthwhile trip
It was a really good tour. Our guide Joyce was super informative and helpful. Really enjoyed it.
The guide gave helpful suggestions and then let us explore the tourist sites on our own. I liked this approach because it gave us the freedom to choose what we wanted to do and see. Overall, it was a good experience.
Instead of just in museum. Rather have plenty time discover the city of ottawa... and not so much enjoying the ferry ride. Just nothing interestinh
Lovely place the guide Caroline was very good. Showed she was very happy with her job and wanted to make sure everyone was happy. The coach was old and cold, not Caroline's fault
Got an excellent trip, our guide Jacky has been great, very helpful and knowledgeable
Excellent tour of Ottawa from Montreal. Very efficient covering a lot of important sites in the city with enough free time to explore on your own. Highly recommend for anyone with limited time wanted a good tour of Ottawa from Montreal. Caroline was an excellent guide
The experience in Ottawa was a 10, it was beautiful....the guide was very helpful, she explained things in 3 languages: English, French, and Chinese. I did not like the fabric-upholstered seats on the bus, and although the bus had a restroom, it was a horror to enter because the heat coming from the toilet (I imagine from the engine) was unbearable. In general, the guide and the tour of Ottawa were exceptional, but I did not like the bus.
Good organization, well organized, very punctual. Good activities and the guide was very kind and had good communication.
A wonderful experience to know the capital city of the canada Ottawa. Caroline was an excellent guide who shared the history of the city and took us to know the historical heritage of parliament. Canal rideau. The craft market and the Museum of Canadian history. The driver and concord travel guide provide five-star service. We highly recommend it.
The day has been very well distributed. It's given us time to see how important it is. And our guide Caroline always attentive, very nice and during the trip has explained the history of Ottawa.
