Scenic Night Tour of Ottawa

An epic Ottawa experience ... at night!

Surprises aplenty await you on the Scenic Night Tour of Ottawa. Designed to show you that the nightlife in Canada’s capital city is more than just dancing, partying, and visiting nightclubs, this is a 4-hour guided sightseeing tour with memories that will last a lifetime.

Your tour begins with being picked up directly from your hotel in downtown Ottawa. Your guide will bring you on a narrated driving tour through the city passing through Rockcliffe Park and Rideau Hall. Rockcliffe Park is well known for its stunning historic residences and is currently home to many notable politicians, ambassadors, business leaders and former Prime Ministers.

After your narrated driving tour of the city you will enjoy an evening cruise on the Paula D cruise boat along the Ottawa River. While on board, you’ll take in incredible views of the city’s attractions and landmarks from the water and watch a beautiful sunset.

Next, you’ll visit the famous Byward Market to explore the shops in the area and perhaps even grab a tasty treat while you’re there - we recommend the Beavertails!

Your final stop will be to watch the incredible Northern Lights - Sound and Light Show on Parliament Hill. This impressive display highlights fascinating stories about key events, figures and history against the backdrop of Parliament Hill’s Centre Block and Peace Tower.
