Fine
Easy to find start and to check in. Good narration but it was in English and French. Sit on the right side for best experience. It was a nice experience but if short on time you easily could do something else.

A different perspective
As an Ottawa resident, it was a treat to see our city from a different perspective and hear bits of the history of the region and the canal. The pleasant staff, clean boat, and interesting narrative all combined to make a memorable outing.
