Reviews

“I had a great time exploring the city of Ottawa with Escape Bicycle Tour and Rentals. I chose the 5hr tour, and my guide Lucie was knowledgeable, and I felt as though I received an extensive idea of what Ottawa has to offer. I highly recommend the full day tour, but they do offer shorter tours as well”

Bryce Boudreau

“Maria and her team are fantastic! She took the time to figure out a multi-day tour for myself and a friend at the end of the season. We had a great tour guide followed by perfect self guided options for our cycling level. Once back at Escape we enjoyed a beer from the Cafe and friendly conversation with Maria. Highly recommend!”

Suzy Carby

“This is the best biking experience I have had so far. Maria, our guide, has a lot of knowledge of Ottawa and knows how to explain it. The bike route is excellent; it contains very beautiful scenic spots. Some places can only be accessed through bike. I highly recommend to choose the full day tour if it’s your first time visiting Ottawa. Maria is also very friendly and helpful. My friend fell from bike and Maria took care of his wound with her mini medical kit. Overall, it’s excellent experience for us.”
