Hi guys! We are Zee and Kenneth, content creators based in Ottawa, ON, Canada. About a year ago we made a video called ‘Places to go in Ottawa’, inspired off of our love for travel filmmaking. We love helping tourists experience the best on their trip to our hometown, by showing them how to explore like a local. WOW air has created an opportunity for travel filmmakers to fly to WOW air's destinations this summer. It was a great experience filming this travel guide for their application, hope you enjoy it! Here is a complete tour guide of Ottawa, outlining the best places to go, activities to do, places to eat, cheapest ways to get around and where to stay; all on a budget while getting a BANG for your buck! ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. In this video, we explore Ottawa in 24 hours, while compiling a guide on how to spend your day on a trip to Ottawa. Itinerary: First, kick off your day with a coffee at the best spot in town ‘Ministry of Coffee’ ($2 latte), while making it in time to catch a FREE tour of the Parliament of Canada and Rideau Hall. Rent a bike from ‘RentABike’ ($10/day) and bike along the Canal, enjoying scenic views all the way to Mooney’s Bay where you would rent Kayaks ($6) from the ‘Rideau Canoe Club’, and then cool off with a dip at Mooney’s Bay Beach. You must be famished after all that rowing so head over to the Byward market and treat yourself to a $6 dollar whole meal at ‘WAREHOUSE’, you definitely want to try their ‘works burger’. Don’t forget to save some space for a Beavertail. This pastry is a taste of heaven on earth! You cannot miss out on this! While still in the market, enjoy live performances and fresh fruit while meeting the beautiful people of Ottawa. Roam the streets and fall in love with diversity of culture and art you’ll see. Next, order an Uber/rent a car and head over to Gatineau park for the next highlight of your trip. Take a break from the buzz of the city and get lost in these beautiful woods. It doesn’t get any more soothing than hiking up to amazing lookouts, with the sound of nature always in your background. Here’s a tip: make sure you take to bring backup storage because you will want to take a picture, every step. Oh and.. stay hydrated! The places of interest are: Lac Meech, Wilson Carbide Ruins, Champlain Lookout, Camp Fortune and Morison’s Quarry. Head back downtown and freshen up, making it to the market just in time to have dinner at ATARI. My favourite: Beef sliders and fries ($10). The night is still young so why not get cheap drinks while making new friends and enjoying the best view in Ottawa? The ‘Tavern on the Hill’ is your spot for $6 drinks. As the night comes to an end, kick back on the comfortable seats and cozy blankets/ fireplaces of the Tavern. Or dance the night away to great music.    Where to stay - You have a couple of options including Airbnb but the Econo Lodge is your best since it’s a budget friendly option for bed and breakfast, plus it’s located in the heart of lowertown. How to get around - Biking / OC transpo bus service ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. We hope to make many more tour guides in the future. But as students in university, we don't often get the opportunity to do so as a result of our limited funds. We met about 3 years ago in first year of university and have since become best friends, creating content together on a budget. Our passion for creating travel videos and helping tourists have the best experience is what drives us. #wowair
