Our guide Sam was a friendly and knowledgeable young man who picked us up at our hotel and took us to various sites. Since there were just the three of us, we explored more of Ottawa’s historical locations than we expected. He shared interesting insights about the Canadian government, the choice of Ottawa as the capital, and the canal's construction. Sam made for an excellent guide. For an enjoyable walking tour of Ottawa, consider booking with Ottawa Walking Tours.
Sophia served as our guide, and we appreciated her attentiveness, knowledge of Canada's history and Ottawa, as well as her cheerful demeanor.

The tour led by Sophia Pradal was fantastic. She provided great insights into Ottawa and its history. Despite the chilly weather on November 15th, the two-hour walk was enjoyable and flew by. I would definitely return.
Dante is an outstanding guide, well-versed in Canadian history and traditions. His Italian is impeccable, and he is very pleasant to interact with. His professionalism and punctuality contributed to making our tour the best we've ever had in Canada. Being originally Calabrian, he brings a charming villager's touch. I highly recommend him for any Italians seeking a fun and engaging experience.
