Discover the Capitol & Cruise

The Discover the Capital & Cruise option gives you an amazing tour around the city in a Double Decker bus or vintage trolley, plus your option of two separate cruises. One cruise takes you down the Ottawa River, experiencing beauty and history, while the other sails you down the Rideau Canal. Hop-On/Hop-Off city tour is one of the most amazing city tours in the world and will let you explore all of this amazing city. Combined with the cruise option, this package is fantastic.

During your cruise down the Ottawa River, you'll enjoy a full 1 ½ hour narrated boat tour with incredible views of attractions like Parliament Hill, Rideau Falls and the Prime Minister's Residence. The unique views from the river are the only way to experience the beauty of these sites!

If you choose to take the Rideau Canal Tour, you'll be treated to a 1 ¼ hour tour, featuring professional narration regaling you with the history of this famous canal. Built during the 1800's, it was originally intended to protect British shipping concerns. You'll visit Dow's Lake, Commissioner's Park and experience some of the amazing architecture for which Ottawa is famed.

No trip to Ottawa is complete without taking this unique tour and enjoying all the amazing sites from the unique view of the bus or trolley and the water.
