“Santiago was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He made the tour enjoyable even in the rain!”

The route is mostly flat but includes city traffic, long stretches, and plenty of riding.
“Really lovely day out, was a full day (10:00 to 17:00) on the bike, so we saw a lot of the city. Lunch was good, our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a great history of the city. Some of the riding between the stops was quite long, 30+ minutes, and it was very hot, but our guide made sure we stopped in the shade wherever possible. Highly recommend this tour”
Start in San Telmo on a beach cruiser, then ride through Puerto Madero, Recoleta, Barrio Norte, and Palermo Woods. You’ll see Recoleta Cemetery, Floralis Genérica, the Planetarium, Rose Garden, and Spaniard’s Monument while an English- and Spanish-speaking guide explains the city.
“There’s the sightseeing, which was wonderful, and then there was the challenge of riding a bicycle on narrow lanes with zooming traffic and bouncing on cobblestone roads in the old part of town. The memory will stick with you. Palermo and Recoleta have wide open spaces for easy riding, beautiful!”

“I spent 8 days in Buenos Aires -- and this was my favorite tour of the city. I was very fortunate to be the only one doing the tour, as I got the amazing tour guide, Daniel, to myself for the day. :) This the tour you want to do if you wish to get away from the touristy spots in Buenos Aires. You'll explore the working class neighborhoods on bicycle, highlighted by abundant street art -- much with powerful statements and stories associated. You'll eat lunch at a hole-in-wall restaurant that serves up amazing local food. Most of all, you'll enjoy spending a half-day casually bicycling -- mostly away…”
