This bicycle tour was fantastic. Everyone at Escape Bicycle Tours from Maria on down was so friendly and helpful. This is the BEST way to see Ottawa. Mike our tour guide was very knowledgeable, very sweet and great with my teenage boys. Would definitely do this again.

We had a terrific guided tour around Ottawa which set us up well for the rest of the week on our rental bikes. Great bikes. Great people. Made for a wonderful week of biking despite the weather!

I highly recommend Escape Bicycle Tours for anyone who is looking to explore the great city of Ottawa. My wife and I had an amazing time riding paths, trails, parks, streets and the neighborhoods with Nora. She made it a lot of fun, with stops along the route she let us know historical facts and answered any of our questions. The Escape bike shop was a welcoming place, staff were friendly. We rode Marin city bikes and they pedaled and rolled real nice, high quality and comfortable to ride. Thanks Escape and Nora for making the bike ride the highlight of our getaway. We will be back!

We visited our daughter who studied in Ottawa this September. Since we stayed for a few days so we decided to do something new. We joined the bike tour and have Nora as our tour guide. Nora is very friendly and knowledgeable. She showed us the places that we have never been to before (even my daughter who has stayed in Ottawa for 4 years). We are seniors and cycling is a bit tiresome for us but Nora was very patient and waited for us for all turns. Thank you very much, Nora. And thank you, Maria for refunding the MyOttawa coupon for us.
