If you are visiting Ottawa, this is a must do activity. The tour takes you through the city and down the canal, and into the back streets of Ottawa suburbs. Some great scenery with heaps of stops to take a break, have a snack and take in the sights. Sparky, thanks for a great day out, we loved the commentary and the little add-ins you gave us for free (the headwind and the police stop check). We highly recommend this tour.

We took a 3.5 hour private e-bike tour of Ottawa. The e-bikes allowed us to see more of the city with less effort although the bike paths in Ottawa are so well paved, easily navigable and mostly flat so could easily be done on a regular bike. Our guide, Mike, was so friendly and easy going. He was very knowledgeable about the area. Maria, the owner of the company was easy to work with by phone ahead of time and helped me decide which tour was best for my group. I would highly recommend this activity when in Ottawa. I’ve never done a bike tour before but would do it again in a heartbeat!

What a terrific introduction to Ottawa for my visiting family! As a group of 7 with vastly different abilities, Escape Bicycle Tours ensured we had to equipment and itinerary that suite the entire group. Hans, our guide, was a great ambassador for our city!

Hans was amazing. He provided us with great history of the town of Ottawa. The course was very easy to do however there were some hills you did have to bike over. As long as you know how to work your gears, you should be fine.
