Covering the first two kilometres of this World Heritage Site—from the Bytown Museum to the Corktown Bridge—the tour looks at the nearly 200-year old Rideau Canal from the perspective of its varied architecture and the engineering of its bridges, which covers many historic periods and architectural styles.
