Ottawa Vacation Packages and Tours

Ottawa, Canada

Overview

Take a trip to Ottawa on your Canada Vacation

As the capital of Canada, Ottawa has a powerful reputation to uphold, making it a great place to experience all the history, culture, and fun that the country has on hand. Parliament Hill, home to Canada’s impressive government buildings, offers you an exclusive look into the heart of Canadian politics. An exciting selection of seven national museums is scattered throughout the downtown core, including the National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian Museum of History which are sure to delight any art aficionados or history buffs. 

Few locations in Ottawa are more iconic than the Rideau Canal, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. In warmer months, cruise along the waterway to take in a unique view of over 30 key attractions in the city. Stroll alongside its eight locks through picturesque gardens and parks, making it a great place to sit and picnic as you take in the local vibes. In the winter, the Canal becomes the world’s largest skating rink, lined with vendors selling hot beverages and BeaverTails, the sweet Canadian treat that will give you that extra buzz of energy as you skate under the dazzling lights while grooving to the music. 

In the spring, Ottawa draws colourful crowds to the Canadian Tulip Festival, bringing a breath of fresh air as outdoor festival season begins, welcoming musical and art celebrations of all kinds. Foodies will love Ottawa’s diverse dining scene, which celebrates Canadian classics and international flavours with plenty of craft breweries and distilleries nestled in between.

We have used Goway several times to plan simple & more complicated trips. The last 2 trips we worked with Brooke Theron who is extremely customer focused. She listens well & is alway flexible to look at alternatives. We will continue using this representative & Goway. Our only criticism is that they do not break down the various costs of a trip which makes tipping very awkward. It can also create a sense of " mistrust" when all the costs are not transparent.

Our trip to Switzerland was an amazing experience. Our travel agent at GoWay, Bo was so helpful in helping my husband Louie plan just what we wanted to do on this trip. Taking the trains thru the county was easy by the many hours Louie and Bo worked on this. Also our helicopter ride in Zermatt on my birthday was just unbelievable. Flying around the Matterhorn and the Alps is one flight we will never forget. Thanks Bo for setting this up. The trip was one incredible adventure that we will never forget. Thanks again Bo, Lynn Gerber. Lynn Gerber

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Our GoWay tour representative, Michael Keon, was on top of all of our concerns and questions in a professional manner and we look forward to working with him in the future. Michael was very easy to work with and treated us like family.Thomas

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott

Our travel agent, Melissa Moses, created the perfect itinerary for our recent holiday to Portugal. Melissa had also planned our previous trip to England/Scotland.

Jacqueline F. made our trip exceptional. Everything she planned or reserved worked out as it was supposed to. Croatia was amazing and I feel we were able to explore a lot of it because of Jacqueline.Allen

This was the first time we had utilized Goway. We wanted a custom itinerary for a 3 week Italy, Athens and Greek Island adventure. Edwina Brislane was receptive to our goals for the trip, had helpful suggestions and reacted well to our requested revisions. Lisa Dachuk helped "tie a ribbon" on the trip and ensured we had considered all aspects of the experience. Lisa dealt quickly with a couple of requests while on the trip and celebrated a successful trip with us. We enjoyed working with both Edwina and Lisa. Their knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to our very memorable trip.Dan & Gail
