"Hannah was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Ottawa and the details of the Byward Market. Hannah was personable, friendly and just great to be around. My boyfriend and I were the only ones booked for our tour (Valentine’s Day and it being winter!) we really wouldn’t want it any other way.

The food was also amazing.

If you are looking for a food tour - book through Secret Food Tours!"
