“we indicate to go to an address on departure for pick-up. No precise time and no one on site when we could just start the puzzle. the address was not easy to find. Why not simplify by saying city hall. The number of kilometres to cover would have been good information to know for someone like me who is mobility impaired. When I saw that the end ended on the side of gatineau. We did the part that was getting closer to the byward market and we finished it there.Auto-translated”
Explore Ottawa’s Rockcliffe Park with a phone-based mystery game, embassy residences, riddles, scenic walks, and flexible timing for $7.20.
“While this tour says it ends at 11pm, we started at 8pm, as the sun was setting. Rockcliffe doesn't have many street lights. We found it very hard to find the clues in the dark. Plus walking through a park in the dark with a broken limestone path would be dangerous for older folks. This tour would be a lot more fun to do during the daylight. To the tour operators, please change the hours that it ends at like 8pm.”
