We had a most delightful day with Devi, our guide. Book with them. You’ll not be sorry.

What a wonderful day we had with our charming and lovely guide, Devi. She gave us a nice overview of the area and welcomed us into their rustic shop. The bikes were in good repair and she had a wealth of knowledge in Buenos Aires history and the various neighborhoods we visited. Absolutely book with this company! Our only regret...we should have booked a full day tour. 😊

Great Experience!

Debi was amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and informative and told so many fun stories. We had a great time seeing the city by bike and learning the history. I loved the ability to see and experience more of the city than your average tour. I feel like I really got to know Buenos Aires and would highly recommend!!

A different side to Buenos Aires

What an excellent way to see the Buenos Aires that you won't get to see from a tour bus. We opted to cycle the whole route and our guide, Jackson led us through the city streets and avenues to the peace of the park at Vicente Lopez where we took a break to learn the ins and outs of mate and how not to let oneself down in polite company. Carrying on to Tigre, we took a small water taxi to pick up our canoes and then paddled off to lunch, which was lovely. Jackson is great company. After lunch we took a quiet route back to the canoe hire, avoiding the wake of some of the larger boats on the delta. A quick helado stop (very nice) and then the train back to Retiro and a short ride back to the start. Thank you Jackson for an unforgettable day. May your bomilla never block.

Best Bike Tour of Southern Buenos Aires

If you're looking for something interesting to do and looking to learn more about the history of Argentina, this is an excellent way to do so. This tour was one of the highlights of our entire stay in Buenos Aires. Our tour guide Pablo did an excellent job explaining the history of the city and of the nation. We visited the south side of the city and got an excellent introduction into yerba mate. Paula did an excellent job asking questions, answering questions, keeping the tour interesting and was incredibly passionate the entire time. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.

Biking like a local with Raymond

Our bike ride with Raymond was one of our favorite experiences in Buenos Aires! It's so great to go with a local on a bike! You get to see so much of a place on bike - faster than walking but can always easily stop to get a better look at something. And Raymond knows where to go! Raymond gave us some interesting insight into Argentina's complicated history. His love for B.A. made us love it, too!

Fantastic way to see the city

We really enjoyed our cycle tour of Buenos Aires. Our guides Pablo and Debi were full of information and passion about their incredible city. Cycling is a fantastic way to see a city and Pablo guided us through more than the tourist areas of Boca, the river areas and the parks. Debi showed us how to dance a few tango steps and how to drink mate and so our day was as much cultural as sight seeing. Highly recommend this tour.
