About this Event

Explore Ottawa's ceremonial, diplomatic and scenic side on a guided tour reserved privately for you and your group.

You will not be joined with other travellers. This private reservation is ideal for guests who want a quiet, polished and comfortable sightseeing experience through Ottawa's official residence district, riverfront areas and elegant neighbourhoods.

Pick-up and drop-off are included from Fairmont Chateau Laurier, nearby downtown Ottawa hotels or another confirmed Ottawa-area location.

Explore Ottawa's ceremonial, diplomatic and scenic side on a comfortable guided tour through Sussex Drive, Rideau Hall, Rockcliffe Park and Rideau Falls.

After pick-up, travel along Sussex Drive, one of Ottawa's most important official routes. Your guide will point out notable landmarks, government buildings, diplomatic areas and historic sites as you move away from the busy downtown core.

Continue toward Rideau Hall, the official residence and workplace of the Governor General of Canada. Depending on public access, security conditions and timing, the tour may include views of the entrance, surrounding grounds and nearby official residence areas.

From Rideau Hall, travel into Rockcliffe Park, one of Ottawa's most established and elegant neighbourhoods. The area is known for tree-lined streets, historic residences, diplomatic properties, green space and scenic river viewpoints. This part of the tour provides a quieter and more refined view of Ottawa compared with the downtown landmark route.

The experience then continues toward Rideau Falls, where the Rideau River meets the Ottawa River. When parking and timing permit, guests may enjoy a short stop for photographs and views of the falls, water and surrounding parkland.

This tour is ideal for guests interested in Canadian history, official residences, diplomatic districts, elegant neighbourhoods and scenic river views. It is also a strong option for travellers who want a shorter tour close to downtown without repeating the standard Parliament Hill and ByWard Market route.

The tour concludes with convenient drop-off at Fairmont Chateau Laurier, a nearby downtown hotel or another confirmed Ottawa-area location.
