Private Walking Tour of Historic Ottawa

Led by a local guide, this private walk through central Ottawa brings Canada's capital to life through its landmarks, national symbols and the people and events that shaped it. You set off on Sparks Street and continue past Parliament Hill, the National War Memorial, Major's Hill Park, the National Gallery of Canada, the Rideau Canal and the Fairmont Château Laurier. Between stops you'll enjoy the views, hear local stories and get a clearer picture of how Ottawa came to serve as the nation's capital, with the route ending at ByWard Market.
