Summary
Tour info
Why take this tour?
We make it a priority to feature Ottawa’s most famous landmarks, while at the same time sharing the city’s sordid and colourful past that is often overlooked. From debaucherous tales of drunk Prime Ministers and lumberjack gang violence, to inspiring (and at times shameful) stories of the LGBTQ movement and black Canadians, we’re here to shine a light on the good, the bad and the ugly that makes our city the quirky and cultured capital it is today.
Our local guides will also share with you the best places to eat, drink and visit during your time in Ottawa. As a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence Winner for 4 years in a row, we’re proud of the great impressions we’ve left on visitors from around the world!

Things to know
Before you book
-
You can bring your dog on an outdoor tour if it is calm and very well behaved.
-
All are welcome on our outdoor walking tours, however, the content of our tours isn't really designed for children. We don't talk about anything too inappropriate, but they’re not designed to entertain kids and children under 13 may find it a tad dry.
-
Our free tours are dependent on tips from happy customers to continue operating.
Before you go
-
Please arrive 10 minutes before the start of the tour
-
Tours run rain or shine, so please bring an umbrella if you're worried about a downpour and a coat if it seems chilly.
-
Comfortable shoes and water are definitely two good things. Tours are roughly 2 hours, so whatever you need to be comfortable for 90 minutes of walking around town would be great.
