Excellent bike tour in Buenos Aires

We did the full day (7 hour) bike tour with Bikingbuenosaires. It was great! The riding was easy at a relaxed pace - about 25 km over the 7 hours. The best thing about the tour was our guide Pablo . He was very interesting, and told us a lot about Buenos Aires and Argentina, including history, politics, architecture, sports and daily life. We saw a wide variety of things and areas which kept the tour interesting. As we did this on the public holiday, Pablo organised Locro for lunch for us which was an authentic Argentinian experience. We now have a much better understanding and appreciation of this lovely city. Thanks 🙏

Bike Buenos Aires at Night!

We did a bike tour with Deb, and she was absolutely amazing. She took her time to thoughtfully explain each site and brought us to some of the most beautiful and important places in Buenos Aires. It was a truly memorable experience.

Perfect tour with an informed and fun guide

Great introduction to Buenos Aires. Raymond was a great and informative host from start to finish. We felt he tailored the morning ride to our interests and even found a great coffee stop we asked for at little notice!! Highly recommend this tour and Raymond our guide!

Must-do Bike Tour!

Pablo was an amazing guide for us, and my wife and I felt like he was our lifelong friend at the end of the tour. We learned so much about the history, culture, and modern life in Buenos Aires. Could not recommend more highly!

Fantastic Experience

This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Our guide, Jackson, was an incredibly caring and genuinely engaged host. In addition to being a great bike and kayak guide, Jackson tailored our entire experience to our interests and language (American English) preferences, shared valuable insights about local customs and culture, and answered our many, many questions very thoughtfully. We had an amazing day. If you are looking for a delightful, active day trip focused on seeing the outskirts of Buenos Aires and experiencing the Tigre delta region, you must book this tour — and be sure to ask for Jackson as your guide, you won’t regret it!

Highly Recommend awesome experience

What an epic way to start our time in Buenos Aires. Raymond truly made this worthy of a 5 star review. Went on a somewhat rainy Sunday but this was the best decision. Crowds were down bc of the rain which made exploring La Boca easy and relaxed. Raymond’s stories about culture and history really brought this experience to life. One of us wasn’t super into history but giggled along as his presentation of info helped paint the picture of how each neighborhood grew its personality.. The full day tour was definitely the way to go- mostly flat, so many interesting neighborhoods and sites to see; we now feel as if we have a good handle on these places to come back and explore on our own.

An unforgettable experience

Our experience with Biking Buenos Aires exceeded all expectations. Although the tour wasn’t originally meant to be private, it turned into a wonderfully personalized experience that made it even more special. Pablo, our guide—who is also a professional photographer—captured some of the most incredible photos of our trip. Beyond that, he was extremely attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He took us not only to the iconic spots of Buenos Aires, but also to hidden gems that most visitors don’t get the chance to see. Lunch was a true local experience, featuring some of the best empanadas we’ve ever had. We ended the afternoon with a traditional mate experience, which, honestly, wouldn’t have been the same without a local guiding us through it. We are beyond happy and grateful for this experience. Highly recommended—10/10!

Better than a typical tour …

We had such a great experience on this tour and saw more than the city. We felt its heartbeat. Biking was a great way to get a feel for the neighborhoods we saw and get a bit of exercise too. The bikes are in great condition and even the helmets were painted with pretty art! Raymond was so generous with his knowledge giving us insight not into just the history of the graffiti art and the landmarks but the context of what it meant. We felt like we saw more than just the sites but the soul of the city. It started to rain and Raymond had ponchos for us to wear and at the end of our tour even gave us a little mate (sp?) lesson where he taught us how to make it and the custom of sharing it with others. This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! Highly recommend and thank you Raymond!

A Must Do in BA

Raymond was both a pleasure to be with on our ride and a fountain of information about Argentinian culture and history. We braved the rain with ponchos that he provided and even learned how to tango during one of our rest stops. It was a great way to see parts of the city that are often missed on the classic tour stops. Highly recommend!
