Thank you Harry for the personalized, informative guided tour. We appreciated the knowledge of the area we cycled. The open swimming was fabulous.

We recently had the pleasure of taking a guided bicycle tour with RentABike in Ottawa, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide, Art, was nothing short of amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and humble, making the tour enjoyable and informative for everyone in our group. Art led us through the heart of Ottawa, showing us key landmarks such as Rideau Hall, the office and residence of the Governor General, the Prime Minister’s residence, various embassies and ambassadors' residences, and so much more. His insights into each location added a rich historical context that we would have otherwise missed. The scenic views of the city, including Rideau Falls and the Ottawa River, were breathtaking. One of the highlights was a refreshing swim in the Ottawa River after a few hours of biking. The facilities at the swimming spot were exceptionally clean and well-maintained, providing a perfect way to relax and cool off. This was hands down the best tour ever!
