Ottawa Like a Local: Customized Private Tour
Overview
Get to know the city through the eyes of a passionate local. With no set itinerary, you can customize the tour or leave it up to the local for an insightful introduction to the city. Make travel about the people you meet not just the places you see. With our walking tours, you’ll skip the mundane historical tours and discover the city through a local’s eyes. Experience a tour that will transform the way you travel to make it as much about the people you meet, as it is the places you see. Our local guides (Lokafyers) are passionate about their city and eager to share their knowledge and perspective. Since Lokafyers are not professional guides and tour occasionally, they provide an experience that’s authentic and personal, like a friend showing you around their city. By the end of the tour, you'll feel comfortable navigating the city and confident that you have all the information you need to make the most of your stay

Impossible d’avoir une visite guidée privée en français. Donc, nous nous sommes orientés vers le Hop On Hop off. Ce dernier était correct mais difficile de comprendre l’accompagnateur qui avait un très très fort accent.

This tour was nothing "like a local". It was a walk around the parliament hill with barely any information to enhance the relevance. I had taken the time to write a short description of myself to my guide to help come up with an interesting itinerary, but it was useless as this was not meant to be a local tour at all. Would not recommend to anyone, and the customer service is terrible. False advertising.drkayotica

Looking to relocate to Ottawa, and did some research and found a tour that could be designed to suit visit. After purchasing the tour and receiving confirmation was directed to follow up directly with the tour guide with specific instructions of highlights for desired tour. Information forwarded on, and tour guide promptly cancelled tour and request to be forwarded on to head office for new tour guide. After not receiving any information followed up with tour operator and was given runaround to what the tours entailed. Very hoaky and unprofessional.Mobiltech
