Yes, there are packaged tours, at least from Toronto etc. Bus
("coach") tours seem to be very popular at the Chinese travel agents,
the descriptions are all in hanzi. I think Safeway is one.

BTW, I wouldn't go all the way from Singapore just to visit Ottawa.
Toronto, Montreal and Niagara Falls are all within a relatively short
distance (less than 7 hours drive). Ottawa is certainly good for a few
days or maybe a week if you're into museums and such like, but I think
you'd be climbing the walls after much more than a week.

Hope this post is not OT.

It is OT in rec.travel.asia. Followups set appropriately.

Keep in mind Ottawa may be VERY cold in December, particularly with the wind
chill. It will be very pretty with Christmas lights and possibly snow, but
may also be cold.

In December, Ottawa has an average high of -3C and an average low of -15C.

If you are interested in Canada you might want to consider Vancouver. You
can go visit Whistler and the local mountains to see snow, but it won't be
nearly as cold.

Singapore Air flies direct to Vancouver.
