Zak was an excellent tour guide who gave us wonderful insights about the Chateau. We are staying at the Chateau but had no idea about all the details. Definitely worth the time and cost. The hotel is a pivotal part of Ottawa’s history. Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, book a tour. The Chateau’s prominence will be so much more fully appreciated once you are finished.

I was in Ottawa in January and stayed at The Chateau Laurier. This hotel has been on my list for years and I was thrilled to finally be able to make this stay happen! I discovered this tour on Tripadvisor and was excited to have the opportunity to learn more about this majestic hotel with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. This tour is a MUST for history and architecture lovers! This iconic hotel, often called the "castle of Ottawa, " offers a fascinating glimpse into Canada's past with its stunning design, rich historical significance, and ties to political and cultural figures. The guided tour provides intriguing stories about its construction, famous guests, and hidden details. Whether you're admiring the lobby, the elegant ballrooms, the art deco pool, or taking in the scenic views of Parliament, it's a memorable experience. I highly recommend for visitors that appreciate history and luxury!

Claire was great explaining, acknowledged & great attitude. Highly recommended. We would definitely do it again anytime.

The tour was very interesting, but we were hoping that we would have been able to see more of the hotel - such as some of the rooms.

Cute walking tour with some interesting stories about the Canadian capital! The tour take you through the highlights of this relatively small city and covers the main points plus some bonus stories.

Guide Heather was wonderful! Even though the tour was only 75 minutes, it seemed much longer. Seeing the ballrooms was amazing.

This is a new tour and it is very interesting because of the historical significance of the Château Laurier. This very impressive hotel was built in the early 1900s to accommodate train travellers to Ottawa.

The tour was an exceptional experience. Our guide imparted her wealth of information about the hotel clearly and enthusiastically. She made me appreciative of the history of the city and the hotel's contributions to it.

The tour was very educational and well planned. A nice balance between the history of the hotel and the interesting things of the recent era. Perhaps it would be useful if the tour lasted a little longer so that the knowledge of an experienced guide could be transmitted at a slower pace. I recommend the tour, very nice and educational!

The guide was very informative about the Chateau Laurier. She knew the history of the hotel and explained details of each room we viewed. Excellent speaking voice and delivery.

Zak was an excellent tour guide and shared many interesting stories about the hotel and the people that stayed there. Great opportunity to see parts of the building that are not accessible to the public. Would recommend for travellers and locals alike.

Avoid burning money there, the stories were very boring, one of the worst tour I ever did. I felt like this walk had zero effort put into it.

Wonderful night walk on this guided ghost walk in the Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa. Eilish, our tour guide did a great job leading our adventure and weaving stories for our entertainment. Pretty incredible setting including a peak inside the 100 year old beautiful mausoleum. Thanks for a great time!

Felt very personal and well paced and well timed. Very knowledgeable host with lots of interesting facts on ottowa that weren’t immediately obvious.
