What to expect

Your Ottawa sightseeing tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel before heading out on a narrated drive, passing some must-see landmarks including the Parliament Buildings. Your tour group will stop outside of the Supreme Court and Canadian Museum of History for an opportunity to snap photos with a view. Next, you'll go on a guided tour of the Royal Canadian Mint. Take a behind-the-scenes look at how Canadian coins are created and have the chance to hold a solid gold bar worth CAD 750, 000. After your visit to the Mint, enjoy a driving tour through Rockcliffe Park. Check out the official residence of the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, as well as the Governor General’s Residence (Rideau Hall) and the Prime Minister’s Residence.

You'll also stop at the Rockcliffe lookout point where you can take some amazing pictures while looking out on Ottawa River. Your next stop is a visit to Ottawa’s Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. Admire the elegant gothic-style interiors in Ottawa’s largest and oldest-standing church. The final stop is a ride aboard a Capital Cruises boat for a relaxing and scenic tour of the city from the Ottawa River. See over 50 points of interest, including the magnificent Rideau Falls. At the end of your tour, your guide will bring you back to your hotel in downtown Ottawa.
