Private | Ottawa Walking Tour: Parliament Hill & ByWard Market

Explore Canada’s capital with a local guide just for your group. Walk from Confederation Square past Sparks Street and Parliament Hill to the ByWard Market, hearing stories about Ottawa’s history, politics and people. You choose the pace and the interests, and your guide shapes the route around you.

The suggested route starts at Confederation Square by the National War Memorial and passes the National Arts Centre, Confederation Park, Ottawa City Hall and the Lord Elgin Hotel. Follow Sparks Street to the Stanley Cup monument and the Terry Fox statue, then visit Parliament Hill, the Centennial Flame and the War of 1812 monument. Continue past the Fairmont Château Laurier to Major’s Hill Park and the Peacekeeping monument, and finish at the ByWard Market and the Ottawa Sign.

On longer tours you can spend more time in the ByWard Market or along the Rideau Canal. Meet at Confederation Square or, for a small extra fee, at your hotel. Tours run in English, Spanish or French.
