Brilliant way to see the city - 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

Highlight of our trip! - We had a great experience riding with Conrad and learning interesting things about Ottawa along the way. The ride took place on smooth bike paths and provided beautiful views of the city. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Ottawa and served as a great way to orient us to the city’s main attractions. Highly recommend!

Exceptional tour with Art - I booked a couple of days earlier for a group tour and sadly others didn’t show up so it was cancelled but the company offered me a private tour for a very reasonable extra fee so off Art and I pedalled … once I had found the place …. Worth noting that the rental location is below street level under a bridge beside the canal so confuses the hell out of maps in your phone - think this was noted in first email but we were back and forwards a few times so I lost it. Bikes are well maintained and in good general shape as are the helmets. Art took me on a lovely tour stopping to explain stuff about the city along the way, pace was light and never rushed and I loved spending a couple of hours with him. Highly recommend Rob

Very interesting tour... - 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.

Nice tour of Ottawa/Gatineau via bike. - Enjoyed the tour and the information shared along the way. The tour guide (Conrad, I believe) was very informative and a great presenter. It would have been nice to be able to stop at a few more stops to take some more photos, but overall very pleased with the tour.

Ok ride - 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.
