Canon's Image Stabilized midrange zoom is a favourite ‘walkaround’ and vacation lens.
Many people have trouble choosing between this lens and the 24-70mm f/2.8 L. There's no right answer; they're both great lenses. The advantages of this lens compared to the 24-70 are that it's smaller and lighter, it has a longer range, and it has Image Stabilization. On the other hand it's a full stop slower, may be a little less sharp, and exhibits some barrel and pincushion distortion at the extreme wide end of its range on full frame cameras.
Why not rent both, and compare them for yourself?
