Hello, Thanks for your message. Your 13 year old is welcome to take the tour but we would require a waiver form signed by a guardian/parent. We can email you the waiver form, you can sign and scan it back to us. Cheers, Maria

Great answer by Famillehamilton! I would recommend looking at Ottawa Tourism website for winter activities and checking the Ottawa airport site for transportation options. December generally is not a good time to travel to Ottawa as the weather is cold but not enough snow for winter activities. Happy Traveling!

Yes, you could do that. It is easier to bike from our location to sir John A Macdonald parkway or any other pathway in Ottawa. We are at a very central location and at the intersection of many bicycle paths in Ottawa.

It is mandatory for anyone under 18 to wear helmet. For adults over 18, if they choose not to wear it we will ask them to write and sign a note in our waiver form indicating that they chose not to wear helmet though it was provided to them.

We can provide tandem bikes and bike tailors and trail a bike for kids.
