Wonderful walk around Ottawa. Would have liked to go West a bit more to talk about other building but otherwise a very good experience. A little chilly though lol.

A fun way to learn about the history and architecture of a new town. Daniella did a great job—very informative and friendly. Set a spooky-but-child-friendly tone, as there was a child in our group.

Guide Jack was super smart informed and very professional. The tour was well researched and he even did a story as a dedication to an Algonquin woman.

The haunted history tour was quite informative and fun. Our guide, Monica, was delightful!! The tour isn’t too long and there are opportunities to sit down during story telling.
