Great timing and entertaining coach driver. It couldn't have been better for a fun-filled day trip.

It was definitely worth the trip. I really enjoyed the city tour although we had very little time in the museum. I thought the Byward Market was great, and we really did need 3 hours there. I visited the Notre Dame Cathedral, and it was magnificent. Our driver/guide was OK; he made sure to remind us on the way home about his tip, which is a big TURNOFF to vacationers. Found Canadians as a whole very pushy when it came to their tip, which is a big turnoff for visiting Canada again.

The tour was excellent; it started on time, and each place is beautiful. I recommend it.

We only had a day in Ottawa, but that was better than not getting there at all. This trip was very informative and well organised. As always, you don't get enough time to see things like museums properly, and I would have liked that. Seeing only the outside of the Museum of Civilization was frustrating!

Very nicely done. The guide made well-thought-out changes in our schedule to meet circumstances, and we were able to see all that was promised. The free time and the suggestions to fill that were wonderful. We had an excellent experience.

The confirmation phone number in Montreal was only good after 9am on a business day. When we finally got through to someone, she said to be ready at the Novotel Hotel at 7am. No one arrived. Finally got through to some dispatcher at 8am, who said they would send someone in a couple of minutes to pick us up. Because of street work, the driver had problems of access. He was rude and chewed out the hotel concierge, who had had nothing to do with the booking of the tour, since we had not been instructed to be at the corner instead of at the hotel. If I had not gotten through to the dispatcher, we would have missed the tour. There should be better and more effective instructions with respect to confirmation and pickup. Driver requested tips. If tips are to be given, this should be clearly stated in the preliminary paperwork.

My friend and I enjoyed the trip. The guide was professional. The bus was not really clean, though. Our really big gripe was that we had only thirty minutes at the Museum of Civilization and then THREE HOURS at the flower market area. What a waste of time that was! And we could have been in the museum.
