What a wonderful way to see Ottawa and enjoy the tulips at the yearly Tulip Festival. Book your tour with Escape - it'll be a highlight of your visit. Ottawa is incredibly bike friendly so you can go on this tour and not worry one bit about sharing the road with cars as the majority (almost all) of the tour follows bike paths and trails. Our guide was wonderful, full of information and knew the best spots to show us, all while providing history and stories. She was mindful of everyone's bicycling abilities and levels and made sure everyone was happy, comfortable and enjoying the tour. Escape was a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning from booking our tour to our arrival at their shop to get geared up and ready to go. They're centrally located so they're easy to find and get to and it's a great starting point for this wonderful tour. I highly recommend it!

My friend and I took the Ottawa Tulip guided tour and it was absolutely amazing! Reservations were easy to make and quality of the bikes were excellent. Our guide, Hans, made the experience outstanding. We loved his knowledge of the city, sense of humour and personality. The fact that he was Dutch and we were on the Tulip tour made it a little bit more special. The tulips were only partially in bloom, but the time we spent in the Festival Park was sufficient. The scenic route by the Canal and then up thru the War Museum was perfect! The distance and pace was good for basic to intermediate level bikers. We absolutely recommend that if you’re in Ottawa the best way to see the city is by bike! Make sure you ask for Hans
