BOOKING IN TWO STEPS

Heart of the city Buenos Aires

Heart of the city Buenos Aires

This tour (in English) leaves everyday (except on Jan 1st) at 10AM (from November to February) or at 11AM (from March to October) from Balcarce 1016 – Casa de Castagnino – San Telmo.

You’ve just arrived and Buenos Aires has already intoxicated you with it’s bustling pace, the scent of a “parrilla” (grill) on every corner, and its expressive, passionate locals. But you’re lost trying to make sense of it all! We know it’s overwhelming. Allow us to assist you.

We’ll spend this information-packed day together on two wheels, meandering through the city’s turbulent history, rich culture, dramatic architecture, magnificent street art and along its peaceful coastline. And you’ll get to smell, hear, taste, feel, gawk your way into everything Porteño as we guide you!

We’ll bestow upon you the skills required to impress any local as you partake in a centuries-old Argentine tradition. We’ll discover the unexpected origins of a famous local pastime and invite you to “morfar” (feast) on an obscene boardwalk lunch. By the end of the day, you’ll most likely have decided to extend your stay.

This is the perfect introduction to Buenos Aires – we recommend that you ride with us on the first day or two of your visit so you can “aprovechar”(make the most of), everything you experience. Nos vemos!

*Ride time is approximately 2 hours. Too long? Check our lunchless private version of the same tour.

WHAT OTHER TRAVELLERS
LOVED ABOUT US

Date of experience: 05/2019 - Bárbara

I learnt lots about Argentine history and the social and political challenges today. I got to know how to prepare mate. I also made a pet glass to drink local fernet. Taste South America! What I appreciate much is that Biking Buenos Aires is environmentally friendly and uses sustainable products.
