The canal cruise was so beautiful and relaxing. Guide was very cheerful and knowledgeable. Boat was quiet.

Thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Melody, Jack and Captain Logan. Melody showed a very comprehensive knowledge of Ottawa, but also made the experience fun with her humor and charisma. I also appreciate that she gave recommendations for things to do, checked in with every guest individually, and gave us time to ourselves for pictures. Excellent tour!

I really enjoyed the tour as I was able to learn about the history of the canal and various places in the city of Ottawa. The portion of canal we explored was quite picturesque and I was able to take quite a few pictures. Finally, our guide, Melody, was great. She was very knowledgeable about the canal and great at explaining things in both English and French. Also, she was very engaging and had shown great energy throughout the tour.
