Reviews
Loved the young man (Brendan I believe) phenomenal - animated, funny, loud and full of interesting details. I would advise not to take this on a sweltering hot day - too hot - opt for the double decker bus ride instead. Both packed with info but not a lot of views worth while - for that take a bike - close up easier to see the buildings and their historic details.
The cruise very well hosted and informative. A very interesting way to learn and see the historical aspects of Ottawa along the Rideau Canal.
We enjoyed the tour of the canal. The best part was the tour guide. He was engaging and humorous. He added funny stories to the narrative as we boated down the canal.
