This was a really fun experience! We saw all the essential Ottawa sights and then some. Our guide was very nice and he really knew his stuff. This is a great way to get some fresh air and light exercise while learning about the city.

This was my most favorite activity during my Ottawa trip. The bike ride down the canal and past a handful of the city's sights was most informative and went at a pace that truly allowed the bikers to take in the scenery. The guide was fabulous and I can't wait to return to Ottawa and do the same exact bike ride again, that's how fabulous it was! Highly, highly recommend it!
What a great way to experience...

Took a tour with my wife and son. Good equipment and knowlegable guides. My wife wasn't able to complete the ride but they had enough guides that they were able to continue the tour and get me and my wife back safely to their facility to meet our son at the end of his tour. My son enjoyed the ride. Wish my wife and I could have completed it but that was our problem, not theirs.

Denese our guide gave us very good info about the city,was so much fun :)
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
