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.

I would do it again! - I had a lovely time with Art. He is a great, kind guy who is very knowledgable about the city. I was lucky enough to have the tour all to myself, so it made it even more special. I highly recommend this tour.

Great family fun - Conrad is an excellent guide. It was a hot day, he made sure we stopped often for water breaks. The speed was perfect for our family of 4. Our 7yr old thought it was just long enough and we all enjoyed the bike tour. The paths were quiet and just for cyclists.
We would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see Ottawa.

No Regrets! - I had Harry as my tour guide on a rainy Thursday morning. Because of the rain, I was the only one being guided; it felt like a personal private tour. Harry did such a good job guiding me through the city with his signals and making sure I was keeping up. Along with this was his vast knowledge of the city and the points of interests. So despite being caught in heavy rain and being drenched, it was a unique experience way to tour Ottawa in 90 minutes, and I have no regrets!

The best way to get around Ottawa - Cycling along the rivers gives a very different perspective of Ottawa. Incredible activity and highly recommended, it was completely worth it. Even just renting a bicycle is recommended and exploring the rivers along the paths dedicated to cyclists.

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.

Amateur hour. - We tried to cancel/reschedule our ride 36 hours in advance to no avail. We wanted to go on the tour but there was a conflict. The inexperienced person we spoke to said they’d already paid the tour guide and couldn’t reschedule or cancel. After explaining our situation to no avail, we were called by the company asking if we were coming? The person we spoke to was argumentative and very difficult. Then I was sent a link to review my ride, clowns! Clearly a poorly run operation by inexperienced “business” people. Felt like a college operation at best.
