Escape Bicycle Tours & Rentals Reviews

My daughter and I had a great 2 hour tour with Eddy and Maria, the owner , through parts of Ottawa and over to Quebec. The tour was fun, informative and engaging. The pace was just right and we liked hearing about the history and visiting some beautiful spots! Maria gave us good instructions to tour the areas of our interest when we ventured off on our own. Her staff were courteous and friendly. An affordable and fabulous way to see the city . This city is super bike friendly! Thanks Maria and Eddy! I would for sure rent from Escape again and hopefully check out their kayaks and paddleboards next time!

In spite of being a sunny and tourist-rich weekend, they were able to provide performance bikes for the three of us. The bikes were well maintained and worked well. I appreciated the quick service and digital friendly payment service.

Great experience!!!! Outstanding customer service. It was our first time in the city and we could ride across Ottawa and discover every hidden corner. 100% recommended!!!!!!

Maria and her staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful experience riding around the canal and the town. The bikes were very well maintained. Would highly recommend.!

It was a great two hour tour with David. We covered a lot of ground and visited many of the important attractions. The weather was perfect, our group was small and David was very knowledgeable. This is definitely a worthwhile experience for those who are not familiar with the pathways.

We hired bikes yesterday from Escape. Great price, good bikes and friendly staff who suggested a great route around the canal and river. So beautiful. Can highly recommend.

Great customer service and safe bikes reasonable prices

No hassle, good bikes.

We (5 seniors) did the 3.5 hour Ottawa highlights bicycle tour yesterday. What a great tour. Maria, the owner of the company, was very responsive when we booked the tours via her website. The staff at Escape Tours made sure our bikes fit properly and even changed bikes for 3 members of our group to make sure the bikes fit was correct. Our guide, Hans (see “Hans on the Bike.com”) did a great job leading us we cycled on Ottawa’s superb bicycle paths. At each stop he provided interesting and useful information about Ottawa. We plan to book another tour the next time we visit Ottawa.

Excellent tour of Tulip fest. Bikes easy to ride and well maintained

Excellente expérience. Merci à toute l'équipe.

I did the 2 hour guided cycle tour this morning and I'm so glad I did! David was our guide and was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I didn't realise I had picked 'race weekend' but it worked out even better as there were loads of road closures. Got some fresh air, exercise and learnt a lot about Ottawa. I admit to getting a little too excited about seeing my first ever black squirrel too! Thank you Escape Cycle tours and big thanks to David. Can't recommend enough! The sunshine was an added bonus.....

Highly recommend this place. Very nice, quality bikes at a reasonable price. The staff is very knowlegdable and helpful. They know how to match you with the right bike. Lots of choice of equipment. Complimentary quality helmets, bungee cords and lock. The Towny I rented was new, clean, chain oiled, disc brakes, and wheels were perfectly true.

I had a brilliant time on the 2-hour bike tour hosted by Denis. The tour was really well paced and very informative. I learnt a lot about Ottawa without being overwhelmed. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the city in a timely way! Thanks again to Denis and the team for a great morning 😊

Super sortie avec notre guide David. Il nous a fait un tour complet d’Ottawa avec des anecdotes et les petites histoires de la ville. Je recommande vivement si vous êtes passage dans la ville.

Denis was a great tour guide - knowledgeable and friendly who provided lots of interesting facts about Ottawa. Maria went out of her way to accommodate a tour for us that included the Tulip Festival venue! Highly recommend!
