Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

4Ottawa's landmarks & the Canadian Museum of History
Begin your day with a privately guided visit inside the historic Fairmont Château Laurier, one of Ottawa's most recognizable landmarks. Often referred to as the city's "castle," its grand halls, ornate detailing, and storied past offer a closer look at the role it has played in Canada's political and social life. From here, choose how you'd like to experience the capital – on a guided walking tour that brings you into the heart of Ottawa's downtown streets, or a panoramic coach tour that offers a broader introduction to its key sites and neighborhoods. Both options provide insight into the city's architecture, history, and daily life, with views of Parliament Hill and the Ottawa River shaping the experience. A short drive takes you across the river to Gatineau for a visit to the Canadian Museum of History. With time to explore at your own pace following an introduction, you'll encounter immersive, artifact-rich exhibitions that trace the stories of Canada and its people – from First Peoples cultures and early exploration to traditions shaped by land and water. The remainder of the day is free to spend as you please.
