I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about this wonderful hotel and the history of Ottawa - 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!
