Lovely day, tasty lunch, and overall great experience.

Raymond did an excellent job of showing us the sights and providing us with historical and other details about the areas we passed through. Saw some lovely sights that we never would have seen if not on a bike. First time on E bikes and they were easy to adjust to. Due to river conditions we were unable to do the kayak portion of the trip, but did have a delicious lunch at a restaurant on the river. Logistics could have been better as we had to wait over an hour for a boat to pick us up from the restaurant. It was a pleasant spot so not a problem for us. Also, as it was a holiday, the trains were not running so we biked back a good part of the way and ubered from there. Would recommend this company as I believe the issues we encountered were probably an isolated incident.

Solo private tour

A wonderful afternoon biking with guide Patricio, who is very knowledgeable and shared history of this amazing city with passion. Great English speaking, a fun and relaxed tour. It was really nice to see the parks and other neighbourhoods. Recommended!

So fun, we signed up for another bike tour!

We had such a great day with Jackson on our private tour, with just the 5 of us! He’s knowledgeable about local history and kept us all engaged during the beautiful ride. It’s a perfect way to see the city at an ideal pace. Lunch on the river was relaxed and delicious! Amazing activity for families. Worth every peso.

Great experience – opened up my eyes.

My wife and I went on the pizza tour with Jackson. It was amazing. It really opened my eyes up to what kind of pizza BA had to offer. We went to a couple places we'd never have found on our own. We went and I greatly enjoyed it. We had a cruise and a couple weeks later we were back and I felt able to go and get us some pizza. I'm very happy we went on the tour

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.
