Half Day North Biking Buenos Aires

Half Day North Biking Buenos Aires

North City Tour
Palermo and Recoleta on two wheels

Explore the elegant north side of Buenos Aires — where chic cafes meet grand history and lush parks invite you to slow down.

What is it?

The North City Tour is a 4-hour cultural ride that weaves through Buenos Aires´ most stylish and serene
neighborhoods. From the vibrant energy of Palermo Soho to the timeless charm of Recoleta, this small-
group bike tour is designed to show you the contrasting layers of local life — past and present.

You´ll cruise tree-lined boulevards, relax by peaceful lakes, sip mate like a local, and explore the green
lungs of the city. A smooth, safe ride away from downtown traffic — and full of stories that bring the
neighborhoods to life.

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 7 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 — eBike at extra charge — subject to availability, please request at time of booking.
