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

Would 100% recommend! - We had so much fun doing a bike tour with Rent a Bike! Our tour guide Conrad was so great and wonderful. We had brought our three kids ages 10 and under and he re-routed to a less traffic-heavy (but still absolutely lovely) route. The route we took was on fully dedicated bike paths, very flat terrain, and was so scenic. The bikes we got were also great quality. I usually ride a mountain bike and really enjoyed trying out a road bike! So much fun!!! We’re definitely doing this again next time we’re in Ottawa!

An educational tour of a significant waterway - A really interesting, enlightening and beautiful tour of the Rideau Canal and adjacent areas. Conrad has a deep knowledge of the history and impact of the canal on the city, and it was also a beautiful day!

A great way to see further afield, and great value for money. - Beautiful cycle ride on great traffic-free cycle paths. Mariette our guide was great, took us at exactly the right pace and gave excellent details along the route. Over-ran the expected time because we all chatted so much! Good to have choice of electric or standard bikes.

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.

Brisk cycling but then you see something! - Nice bike ride through Ottawa. Enthusiastic Guide Harry took us along beautiful spots and the highlights of this beautiful and green city. The bikes were fine and we also got a bottle of water for the road. He gave us after the trip a few tips for Things to do and a local restaurant where we ate delicious.

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.
