Best way to experience Buenos Aires landmarks

Pablo and Patricio were amazing guides! The tour was thoughtful and well organized, they had a buddy system that made sure all 7 of us were safe crossing roads and navigating throughout the city. They were knowledgeable, friendly, calm, charismatic, and generous with their time and a lovely mate and alfajores treat. We were two families, four adults and three children between the ages of 12 and 15 and did a private south tour. We hit all the spots on the itinerary and were lucky with the weather on a cooler day in March. If the sun were shining it probably would’ve been much hotter. Recommend bringing shades for better visibility. They provide the bikes, helmets and water. We wouldn’t have been able to see everything we saw had we not done the tour. It took about 4 hours and the biking was relatively easy, only one small hill at the end. Highly recommend! And ask for Pablo and Patricio. And… perfect English. Thanks guys!

Fantastic way to spend a day!

Spent the day with Jackson - our awesome tour guide - and rode from Buenos Aires to Tigre (about 42 km). Fantastic way to see some of BA that you wouldn’t otherwise get to and also explore the surrounding area. Had a lovely lunch in Tigre followed by 3 kms of kayaking. Super fantastic day - highly recommend!

Learn about many of the great artists and the significance of the street are and graffiti in Buenos Aires. Awesome!

I loved this tour! Buenos Aires has tons of interesting street art and graffiti and I was eager to learn a bit about the artists and context (I didn't just want to drive by normal tourist sights). This bike tour was the perfect solution. Pablo was my fantastic guide. He is professional, knowledgeable and passionate about this tour. I'm so glad I did it. I left with so much more understanding of some of the artists, hidden gems and the meaning behind many of the fascinating pieces.

Came for the Sights, Left Feeling Like We’d Made a Friend

Have you ever taken a tour expecting great sights, but instead walked away feeling like you’d just spent the day with a new friend? This was one of those tours. Debbie was an incredible guide and made the experience feel like we were simply exploring the city with a local. There were no scripted monologues or forced stops, just natural, engaging conversations that felt tailored to us while still being genuinely informative. We learned about the history and culture, and also had plenty of time to take in the natural beauty of the reserve. The day was about seven hours, but the biking itself was not strenuous at all (mostly flat). More than anything, Debbie helped us understand what truly makes Buenos Aires and Argentina special. This tour felt personal, thoughtful, and memorable in the best way. PS: The bamboo bikes and colorful helmets were a fun and unexpected touch.

Perfect way to see a lot of BA in a day

What a fabulous day exploring BA on bikes! We started with a very cool mini-tour of the home where the business is located. Then Debi gave us some great information about the artist whose home it is and the unique history around it. From there we were off enjoying the perfect weather and cool breeze! Debi was such a wonderful guide and shared so much with us about the city’s history and traditions, her life growing up in BA, and the beautiful ritual around enjoying matĆ© with the people you care about. Thank you for a lovely day!

Fantastic way to see the city and great guide

An excellent tour and perfect way to see Buenos Aires. We had a seven hour tour, just us two and guide Debi. The pace was perfect, and Debi kept us entertained and was full of knowledge. We learned all about the beautiful city, saw tourist and local neighbourhoods, and had lots of stops and time to learn about what we were seeing. Thank you Debi for a wonderful day. I highly recommend this company and their tours.

Excellent Tour

This was the best experience we had in Buenos Aires. We had Martin as our guide and he took tremendous care to ensure we got to see everything that we wanted and to take the time to get to know us and cater the tour to what he thought would interest us. Can't recommend this tour enough.

Great way to see the city and Tigre

What a tremendous way to see Buenos Aires! On a sparkling summers day we rode north through the parks to Tigres , stopping for a coffee at Havana en route. Raymond was a terrific guide. Beyond being a movie actor ( seriously) he is an accomplished cyclist and Kayaker , and has outstanding knowledge of the city and its landmarks. The lunch venue was Tigre lunch ā€œclubā€ , with a large private beach and amazing food cooked over charcoal. Allow at least 9 hours for the round trip - we even came back from Tigre by train
