Highly recommend a bike tour with Escape Bicycle Tours. I did their 3.5 hour tour of Ottawa sights with Nora, our wonderful guide. She led us to many of Ottawa's highlights and stopped frequently to tell us some history and interesting details about the area. I ride my own bike and others used ebikes from Escape. A bike tour is the best way to see many sights in a way that's not possible on door or by car. 5 stars

We had an excellent tour of Ottawa using Escape Bicycle Tours. The reception and assistance provided by Maria and her team was first class, and the tour around Ottawa - with our excellent guide Richard - was one of the highlights of our trip to Canada. Both our 19 year old daughter and 12 year old son loved the session as much as we did, having both not been majorly excited when we told them that we would be on a bike for 3.5 hours! The time flew by and the ride was so relaxed and at our own pace. Viewing the city by bike allowed us access to so many different spaces and it was never hard work. We were fortunate that it was a lovely day as well but, nonetheless, I couldn't recommend Escape Bicycle Tours highly enough.

What a great tour of Ottawa! I’m an avid traveller and try to scope out new places by bike as often as possible. David, our guide, was a knowledgable local who led us on a cruisy, safe ride along the canal, through neighborhoods, and past important sites. He gave us a fun and active historical, cultural and architectural review of the city. And we even had time for coffee in Little Italy, delicioso! Efficient bikes, great team, on-time start and end. Well done and thank you.

Excellent tour. No complaints. Had a great time and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see Ottawa and not be on a tour bus.

Had a most enjoyable bike tour with Alison. She was knowledgeable about local history, art, geography, etc. She easily adapted to my riding pace. And, she was a very pleasant individual - as were all the staff members. Rates were reasonable and I got to see parts of Ottawa I wouldn't have known existed (Little Italy, Bayview, the rapids, Gatineau, Sussex, etc.) The nation's capital has so many magnificent and scenic biking trails. In brief, I couldn't have been happier with my guide, the tour or the touring company. All boxes checked. Full marks all around. Highly recommended.
