Hermosos museos, una ciudad muy tranquila y bonita para caminar por horas. Ideal para un viaje tranquilo ya que puede ser algo monótona.

The tour was wonderful. Lots of detail and sites to see both on land and water. The boat trip on the Rideau Canal was excellent. Katherine was an engaging and charming tour guide.

The visit to war memorial and cruise were cancelled. I was offered a refund if I cancelled, still haven’t heard from company.
If there was a no star option that is what I would score this tour as. Totally disappointing and to only be informed virtually 24 hrs before made it hard to arrange something else!
