Parliament Hill
Jun 27, 2005 by Lisa from Syracuse
Overall Rating: 10 User Rating Score: 10

  • Very informative.
  • Can't go all the places I wanted to go.

“Government is never very exciting but this tour was really very good. There are tours available in English and French (of course) leaving alternately. The security checkpoint goes quickly despite them being the most thorough checkpoint I've been through to date. Our tour guide knew the answers to every question asked of her. She seemed to be very excited and proud of the workings of Parliment and that made it more so for the group. The trip up the Peace Tower was worth it and the elevator operator was very funny.

And, it's air conditioned. If you go in the late spring or summer, be aware Ottawa is very muggy. Bring water and try to visit places with good a/c. ”

  • Great place, helpful people.
  • Nothing negative. It was all good.

“This centre was a godsend. Not only was it air conditioned but really very visible from any attraction in that area. The people are very friendly and knowledgeable. They offered to make us reservations at area attractions and pointed us in the right direction for money exchanges.”
