“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!”

4.Recoleta and Retiro Tip Based Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 50 reviews · 3 hours · from $1Best value

Spend three hours with an English-speaking guide such as Victoria, Juan, Maria, or Iván, walking from Teatro Colón through Retiro and Recoleta. Expect grand palaces, Plaza San Martín, Alvear Avenue, the Church of Our Lady of Pilar, and a finish near Recoleta Cemetery. The cemetery tour is separate.

“Walking was a little rough for a couple old folks, but we saw so much up close. The explanations were great by Maria, and her English was mostly easy to follow. Thankful for the bathroom break. Luckily for us, we are staying very close to the Cemetery, so was just a short walk to return “home” at end of tour.”
