Ottawas skjulte historie: En selvguidet lydtur
Beskrivelse
Leder du efter en måde at udforske Ottawa i dit eget tempo? På denne selvguidede lydtur vil du genopleve Ottawas turbulente tidlige historie, da uromagere og slyngler løb løbsk. Ottawas betydning strækker sig ud over dets Houses of Parliament og berømte museer. Før det blev Canadas hovedstad, var det et barsk, lovløst sted i ørkenen. På denne vandretur gennem gamle Bytown vil du spore byens udvikling fra en lille tømmerby til dronning Victorias valg som Canadas hovedstad og opdage Ottawas skjulte baghistorie. Du vil slentre ned af York Street og lære om de tidlige dage af det ikoniske Byward Market. Ottawas fortid vil komme til live i den fredfyldte Jeanne d'Arc Courtyard, hvor du vil høre om de religiøse og rumlige opdelinger, der gav næring til de stridende Bytown-beboere. På Sussex Drive vil du udforske populære steder fra nye perspektiver og rejse tilbage til dengang slyngler, uromagere og sygdom gjorde gaderne utrygge.

Interesting information and easy navigation. I found it to be a fun way to explore the area and learn something new.
Excellent information well presented and rated 5/5 BUT the software to find the tour was difficult because I was never sent the “code” and had to find another way to open the tour. Also we had to move the program from site to site because it did not identify by GPS when we reached the next location.
Hardest part was finding the exact starting point in the park. Had to watch the distance readout to find it. Then easy as can be.
The app is not intuitive and it would not start. Waste of money and a source of frustration-disappointing. .

Very easy app to operate and the information well timed to allow for personal inspection of each sight. Back up help was available and efficient
You download an app that provides a go-at-your-own -pace narration of an easy 3 km pedestrian tour of historic downtown Ottawa. Pay attention to the switchback at St. Patrick Street, otherwise it's pretty foolproof. You can even click on individual sites if you want to change the order (i.e. screw up the directions). The narrator is obviously knowledgeable and has a pleasant voice. Even if you are a native, you will probably learn something.
Amazing experience! Learned so much about the city’s history. Easy to access through the app. The route is easy to follow and the app is accurate when you reach each point. Wonderful views along the way. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an easy and interesting way to see Ottawa!
A great introduction to the history of Canada's capital, starting off in the heart of the city with an impressive view of the Parliament buildings over the Ottawa River, then exploring the ByWard Market and other areas of interest in old Ottawa. Informative and clearly narrated. Recommended.
This is a great experience. It tells a story of Ottawa that you don’t find at other tourist attractions. Before it became the capital, Ottawa was a dangerous and dirty place. This is a side of the city that is a huge contrast with the government town of today. The narration is excellent, and you go at your own pace. Well worth it!
