On shot day it is a welcome relief from the heat. The tour guide Andy was the best! She kept us entertained in both English and French.

Tour guide was nice, but he said it was his second day and he “didn’t know much”. Took us around, but didn’t see much other than parliament and a couple other buildings. Drove by a park and said “I’m supposed to stop here and show you around, but there’s nothing here, so let’s keep going”. The river cruise was nice, and that guide was informative. But this was worth no where near the $433 it cost for me and my three kids. Total ripoff.
