Since 2015 Ottawa Free Tours has been offering free (tip-based) walking tours of downtown Ottawa. Our passionate guides love showing off our city. We share captivating stories of Ottawa's colourful past, interesting landmarks and vibrant culture.
This tour is the perfect mix of the city’s main landmarks, its surprisingly seedy history, and some of the hottest spots locals love.
Starting at the National War Memorial, we’ll take you down the pedestrian mall of Sparks Street, past Parliament Hill and the Chateau Laurier, and finish up in the Byward Market.
With violent Prime Ministers, political assassinations, lumberjack gang violence and vindictive governor generals, Ottawa has one of the most fascinating histories around.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
