Outstanding hospitality and great ride though this beautiful city
Thanks Mark. We are blessed with lovely accessible environment for the local community and visitors. Age and ability should not an issue. The flip side of overtourism is under the radar Ottawa-Gatineau where we have the time and inclination for hospitality.
We had our tour with Robert, which was great. We rode alongside the canal and Robert gave us all kinds of information and tips. Great bikes and great guide.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Rob! His historic knowledge of Ottawa provides great insights for the Rideau Canal tour.
Great storytelling- loved the ride — just great visit around this great city - well organised - all the way a great experience
Thanks Karanir, Art our guide enjoyed your company.
Very good bikes, excellent friendly staff and informative guide. Pleasurable ride along the Rideau Canal to the waterfalls and back at a good pace. Throughly recommended.
Thanks Patrick. Falls colours are coming with lovely sunny weather.
We had an amazing tour with Karen. She took us to see the landmarks of Ottawa and she shared her passion and knowledge. We stopped for photos and also saw the locks in operation! The bikes were amazing and we would highly recommend it!!!! Thank you Karen for the tip about the local restaurants too!!!
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your tour! Karen is one of our many amazing tour guides! Her local knowledge allows for an exceptional tour.
We had a great ride and interactive Ottawa history discussion. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Ottawa.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the tour! Enjoy the rest of your travels!
The wife and I had a great experience circling around the canal and taking in some of Ottawas landmarks in our 2 hour tour. The company offers e-bikes but the terrain is mostly flat so get an ordinary bike if you’re reasonably fit. Our tour guide Art was very knowledgeable and friendly taking some breaks along the way to make sure we had access to water and toilet stops. The bikes are well maintained with brakes and gears working seamlessly. A bike offers you a completely different experience of the city and I would highly recommend this tour. The venue is located at canal level down the stairs from the chateau Laurier
Thanks. Enjoyed the ride with you. Good questions. Art
Very interesting tour to discover the Rideau Canal and the surroundings of the city. Our guide Art was very attentive and learned. Little information about the history and the city center.
Je suis ravi d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié votre visite d'Ottawa ! Être accompagné par un habitant d'Ottawa, comme Art, est une façon formidable de découvrir une nouvelle ville.
This is very nice tour to see some of the highlights of the city. Harry our tour guide was great and well informed. Very good rental bikes !
Happy to hear you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you again.
Even though the guide was knowledgeable and interesting, too many people on the path and the slow pace made this activity less enjoyable. The bike provided however was very comfortable and in good condition.
Could you provide us with the Lead Traveller name please as Brigitte does not register/show on bookings? Thank you
