    Two-hour small-group bike tour across Ottawa’s waterfront pathways and neighbourhoods, with stops at iconic sites including Rideau Canal and the National War Memorial.

    I participated in a tour of Ottawa in August, led by Richard. He expertly guided us to various landmarks while sharing fascinating historical insights. Although I also did a walking tour, this bike tour surpassed that experience. If you're deciding between them, opt for the bike tour. The bicycles were easy to handle, and the route had very few hills.Justin1066 on the Ottawa city bike tour — two hours on comfortable bikes tour
