Experience the thrills of Ottawa and Gatineau from both land and water on an amphibious vehicle tour of Canada’s capital city.

Great experience! Highly recommend!

The tour guide makes the experience and we had Reda as our tour guide and he was amazing! He was highly knowledgeable about the city of Ottawa and his perfect French made my European family super comfortable. Great work team!!!

Our whole family had a wonderful experience, even our 14 year old son 😉!

Both the driver and tour guide were phenomenal! The tour guide was witty and funny, he's a keeper! They were simply charming!

Nice

My family and I enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide (the young guy with the curly hair whose name I forget) did a great job and the amphibious bus was pretty fun.

Fun and interesting tour.

Our guide Alexi was very knowledgeable and funny. He kept it interesting and fun. My only complaint is that I was charged in US dollars which I found odd

Lady Dive Tour

We enjoyed the tour of Ottawa. The guide was very good but had to rush explanations of sights due to french/English translation. Would have preferred all English speaking tour- guide could have gone into more detail.

Fun by Land and Sea

It was a wonderful and exciting tour. We experienced a scenic and historical views of both cities, Ottawa and Montreal. I would certainly recommend it...the best of both worlds.
