We had a lovely tour of Ottawa and some great history lessons was shared. Maria was an exceptional guide and adapted the tour so we were all comfortable. Highly recommend.

We have enjoyed taking e-bike tours in the past. We thoroughly enjoy them. This was no exception, Dennis our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Ottawa and its history. Maria our Airbnb contact was also a great help with information prior to the tour. This is a tour that you can’t miss great time and well priced.

Had a lovely tour of the city. Maria and her team were able to provide us with quality bikes, a map of the city and some great tips on how to enjoy close-by trails. As a first-time pedal assist bike user, this made it so much fun! :) We'll be back.

We enjoyed a great tour with our guide, David, who was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a gorgeous October day and we were able to see a number of Ottawa cultural and historical highlights. We went with Escape Bicycle Tours on the recommendation of our good friend, Art Saffran, and we were very happy with our decision. The reservation process and location were very convenient. Maria was responsive and accommodating with our inquiries about the tour options. We would highly recommend Escape Bicycle Tours if you are planning a visit to Ottawa!

A great way to explore the city, even for novice bikers! Alison was a great guide, and the owner, Maria, was very proactive and helpful with rescheduling us due to the impending bad weather on our original date, which was extremely kind and appreciated!

Thank you so much for joining our day bike tour and happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us! Many thanks for your recommendations! Warm regards, Maria :)
Dinsdag 30 september 2 e-bikes gehuurd. Wij werden heel goed en vriendelijk geholpen door Grant. Wij wilden gewoon zelf een mooie tocht gaan maken. Grant gaf ons een map mee met daarop 3 tochten. Uiteindelijk hebben wij al de 3 tochten gekoppeld. Fantastisch !!! Langs Rideau Canal, Rideau River en langs de Ottawa River. Zeer de moeite waard. Tijdens deze tocht kwamen wij langs 2 watervallen Hog's Falls en de Rideau Falls. Wij vonden de Rideau Falls de mooiste.
Als je de tijd hebt is het echt de moeite waard om deze tocht te koppelen. Het is heel relaxed fietsen op een bestaand fietspad gedurende de hele tocht met prachtige uitzichten langs het water. De fietsen waren top. Grant bedankt voor je vriendelijkheid en tips.

Lovely experience cycling around Ottawa! With the tour, we got to see stunning views and learnt about the interesting history of the city when we stopped at points of historical significance.
The cycling was very fun and a great way to get around the city quickly!

A Great Way to See Ottawa Sights
This was a great way to see many sites and get exercise at the same time! Our guide Alison was wonderful, always making sure we were getting photo ops and that the pace was okay. Although this is labelled "Express" it was a great pace that allowed some rubber necking and breaks to provide information about the spots we were seeing (or had seen along the way). Questions were welcome.There were a couple of spots along the way that were challenging from a traffic perspective but Alison always prepared us.Alison also took a couple of pictures of our tour group along the way which Maria sent by e-mail the next day which was a nice perk.I would definitely recommend this tour!
