Tour was great. Guide tried to infuse humor. Overall - definitely a good way to see rideau canal if without hiking/walking the entire length. My only suggestion to the tour company is to prohibit people from video recording the entire tour. A fellow passenger perched himself right at the front of the boat blocking view and had a tripod with the recording device and recorded the entire tour.

I had a great time! Seeing Ottawa from the canal, especially in the fall, is beautiful. Terry was informative and had a great sense of humour.

We attended the serial killer cruise and had a super fun evening- would highly recommend if you like escape rooms 😊. Excellent staff, service and experience.

This was a pleasant cruise down the canal on a comfortable electric boat. The boat has a bar onboard that saw some steady traffic. The star of the cruise was the bilingual tour guide Melody. She was a fantastic host. She was entertaining and personable, and interacted with every person on board. She turned a potentially slow cruise into an engaging experience. We tipped her afterwards-worth it.

It was a good decision to just take this tour while on a business tour to Ottawa Good value for money Melanie was gteat 10/10

We took this ride with friends from the US and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide (September 23rd at 2h30 - forgot his name) was excellent and expressed himself thoroughly in French and in English. We'd taken this cruise a couple of times before and are happy to know that the new boats are powered by electricity which is environmentally friendly. Highly recommended

Pascal, Andy and Logan were great hosts on our Ottawa Boat Tour! I would suggest it to anyone. Great value for an educational and lovely ride around Ottawa.

I had a lovely experience yesterday (Sept. 22nd, 2024) on the Rideau Canal Cruise that departed at 2:30 pm. The tour guide, Pascale, did an amazing job guiding the tour in both English and French! Her tour was highly interactive and informative; her way of delivering the material invited much laughters as well and made the tour more than fun! I loved, as well, that after everything was talked about, Pascale walked around the boat and gave everyone a chance to ask questions about anything that’s mentioned on the tour, Ottawa Etc. ! Andie did a great job selling the drink and snacks, and interacting with tourists onboard who went to get something. I was feeling beyond thirsty today so I went twice for drinks and had great customer services both times. There was a kid on the boat and Andie surely made her happy ! After all, it was great to meet Pascale and Andie ( I hope I spell their names correctly). I will look forward to bringing a friend to the cruise at some point so they can enjoy the amazing service by them.

Terry, Jonathan and Logan provided us an informative, relaxing, fun tour, explaining all the sights along the tour. Highly recommend.

Terry, Jonathan and Captain Logan were great! Fun experience! Very relaxing and informative. Loved the 70’s music!!!

Have been to Ottawa numerous times, but have never done the canal cruise. It was informative, the right amount of time, and a lot of fun. I would add it to your scheduled visit.

Very relaxing, calming, relieved a lot of my stress. Terry was very entertaining. Very informative with lots of historical facts

Could’ve been really good. Four staff were standing around waiting for us to load for 20 minutes and we did not leave until a quarter to the hour. We were not warned advance of failure in service before we left the dock. Once we got underway with 2 staff, the guide told us they were short-staffed and there would be no snack or beverage service. If one of the four of staff at dock, standing around for 20 minutes, would have thought to serve us while at dock, this wouldn’t have been a big deal. How thoughtless/careless maybe even lacking in empathy for an hour and a half cruise staff were getting paid for to provide ~20 guests with a full experience. Not that I need to drink however, I noticed another family was just simply wanting water. Providing a drink the last 20 minutes before docking was really counterintuitive to the experience. We chose to go to a restaurant to get the food and beverages we thought we would have on the cruise. I know I wasn’t the only one annoyed. This took away from the experience. Simply could have avoided it, providing beverages at boarding time while waiting at dock with guests seated, would’ve been smart. Likely I wouldn’t have needed to write this. What a shame.

A nice boat trip to take in the local scenery. But the tour isn't very long and there isn't a lot to see. I can only say it was a normal boat ride.

The tour guide Terri was amazing he was very knowledgeable about the city of Ottawa. The trip was educational and relaxing. Norma Rainey
