We were in Ottawa during the last week of October 2009. Since it was our first time there, we decided to take a tour of the city. We chose the Ottawa Walking Tours and Craig was our guide. We had a great time with him! He knew many things about the city and the whole tour was extremely interesting. He... more

I phoned up on a Sunday morning, and despite it only being myself, Craig came out and gave me the tour. Highly informative and Craig obviously enjoys living and working in Ottawa. I learned a great deal on the walk, far more than I was expecting, and he gave me lots of useful information on places to visit during the... more

This tour was the very first thing we did in Ottawa due to our afternoon arrival from Toronto, but it worked out great. Being our first time in Ottawa going on the walking tour really helped us get our bearings as to where things were (so we didn't need to fuss with a map going around on our own afterward),... more

I was in Ottawa for business last week and wanted to get to know the city during the short time I was there. I decided to take this walking tour and am glad that I did. Craig, our guide, (who is a history teacher) was extremely knowledgable about the history of downtown Ottawa. He was also a wealth of information... more

Since the weather was not accomodating on the morning of our tour, my wife and I were given a personalized tour since others cancelled. Huddling under umbrellas, we walked the streets of Ottawa while Craig provided commentary and anecdotes, fully knowlegable about the city and its past. A wonderful experience that should not be missed! more

Our tour guide Craig provided a lot of interesting information on the history and politics of Ottawa as we walked through the landmarks of the town. I had only scheduled a day at the city, but after the tour, I felt like I should have stayed for at least another day because Craig is such a great and engaging guide.... more
