Free Historical Highlights Walking Tour of Ottawa

Canada’s bilingual capital is best explored on foot! Ottawa is an amazing city with so many landmarks and hidden gems, but for me, history has very little to do with dates. History is about people! Our professional, knowledgeable guides will lead you on a leisurely walk around Ottawa’s most famous monuments and locations that explain the city’s colorful history, its larger-than-life political characters, and its graceful architecture. During the tour, you will explore the grounds of Parliament Hill, the National War Memorial, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Sparks Street and Sussex Drive, Major's Hill Park, The Chateau Laurier, The UNESCO Rideau Canal, The Prime Minister's Offices, The By Ward Market and many other areas of interest within Ottawa’s downtown core. This tour is the perfect opportunity to learn about Ottawa’s past, present, and future with an entertaining and educational experience. And, of course, we are happy to make recommendations on what local activities to try, places to visit, things to see and do, pubs and restaurants to discover, and the hidden gems most tourists miss while in town.
