Our driver (Ken) and our guide (Sophie) were both excellent. The tour is a good way to get the lay of the city on the first of a couple of days there.

Tour guide is very pushy for tips. I told the guide I will give the tip next time because I was off and on bus. The guide said “No I can wait”. The driver was nice and polite.

Nice overall tour of Ottawa. The driver and the tour guide were good. It would have been better if the guide had spoken only one language instead of going back and forth with two languages. The bus had an issue with the back door opening and the driver had to tape it shut. But did so in a manner that did not interrupt the tour. The other problem was with the microphone. There was a lot of feedback which made it very uncomfortable on the ears. Other than these issues ,which could easily be resolved, it was a good way to see the sites of Ottawa.
