biking introduction to Buenos Aires
Full Day City tour
Essential Buenos Aires, in one unforgettable day
Seven hours. Twenty kilometers. Centuries of stories.
What is it?
The Full Day City Tour is our signature bike tour — a deep dive into the culture, history, and vibrant pulse
of Buenos Aires. Over 7 hours and 20 km, we ride through the city´s most iconic neighborhoods, making
frequent stops to uncover the real stories behind the architecture, music, food, and people that define
Argentina´s capital.
This is the tour for travelers who want to experience Buenos Aires on two wheels from south to north —
San Telmo, La Boca, Puerto Madero and Recoleta, all in a single day.
We keep shared departures small — maximum 8 riders — so the experience stays personal. Private tours
are available for any group size, with guides assigned accordingly. From 6 riders — shared or private — a
second guide joins: one leading, one watching the rear.
Available as a shared small-group tour in English, or as a private experience in English, Spanish or
Portuguese (Portuguese subject to availability). Choose your ride: classic city bikes, handcrafted bamboo
bikes, or eBikes — especially recommended for the 20 km route, eBike at extra charge — subject to
availability, please request at time of booking.
