Estadio Alberto J. Armando (La Bombonera) - We´ll pass to the neighborhood called ¨La Boca¨, were one of the main churches of the city is located.
By the way, do you know what BA´s main religion is? - Caminito - Next stop is the famous ¨Caminito¨. This place is the cradle of Tango, so we´ll try out some steps and wonder about Caminito.
Check out the famous Tango song called ¨Caminito¨. What do you feel Carlos Gardel is singing about?
- Reserva Ecologica - The Ecological Reserve is our next stop.
Can you guess how this reserve was born? It´s one of those facts that feel like fiction.
- Plaza de Mayo - Our last stop is the ¨Heart of the City¨, Plaza de Mayo.
This is the second foundation site of the city, and is where Porteño culture is rooted. Sooo many key events happened here that shaped our current reality.

Amazing afternoon spent cycling through the city - This was a fabulous tour of Buenos Aires! Highly recommend a tour with this company and I imagine all the tours are great. We learned so much about the city and Argentina through our guided tour with Patricio. It was a hot hot day and it was still manageable with the breeze and stops in the shade, so don't let warm weather deter you. Sign up!

Great way to spend an afternoon in Buenos Aires! - We had the best time on this bike tour. Our guide, Patricio was so knowledgeable and fun to be with. We saw great sites and learned so much. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Buenos Aires who is looking for an outdoor activity where you can get some good exercise. See a lot of good sites and learn a lot.

Pablo's bike tour OF BA? - Pablo's (biking, Buenos Aires) tour of the city was a great idea that somebody else came up with but we really enjoyed The bikes are easy enough to ride. Kind of gravelly not your typical road bike so not a problem for anybody. The tour itself is not that long physically, but it covers a great deal of the history of the city. Pablo made it very clear. Dad, the City has a lot of history and a lot of change up to the present day. Had to love the color district. Everybody does apparently but I also like the Mansion areas architecture even though I couldn't quite pinpoint what it was and of both seaports. Founded very interesting if the one was built with English brick and of course could not possibly hold a ship today. No The river has been pushed back so far that it's only barely part of the city now. The conservancy along the river and des the natural areas in BA are very green and nice respite in general BA Is well endowed with parks a lot of greenery in the city. We found that refreshing.

Great small group tour - Debi was amazing. I highly recommend this trip. She was fun and you could tell she reallly loves her city - from the beauty to the struggles. The trip was also a small group which was great. I saw big groups going by with other companies and that didn’t look like as much fun.

Great entrant Buenos Aires - We had a bike tour at Biking yesterday. We had only just landed and had not seen anything of the city. Through our amazing Guide we really feel that we know a lot about this great city this day. Everywhere he knew something to tell and nothing was too much for him. He paid close attention to our interests and fully responded to them. Provided drinks and a delicious lunch. Together we also performed and drank the ritual of mate tea. Very special. Definitely recommended to book with these people and get to know Buenos Aires in this way.

Feel the freedom, nature, art and culture. Awesome Buenos Aires by bike in the fresh winter sunshine - Very excited! We had been staying in Buenos Aires for two weeks and missed so many of the details shown and explained by Raymond. La Boca, tango, unique, highly emotive street art, stunning parks, an insight to Puerto Madero & Playa del Mayo, the 'correct Mate culture' with alfajores. An awesome way to explore with quality bikes and perfect distance for the only semi fit! High recommended soon after you arrive in Buenos Aires, it will enlighten your experience there after. Thank you so much #kiwibuenosaires #bikingbuenosaires

Amazing tour thanks to Jackson! - Amazing tour thanks to Jackson! Jackson customized the tour to exactly fit what we were looking to do. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Jackson was deeply knowledgeable about all things Argentina. I highly recommend doing a tour with him!

Signed up late, auto accepted, then cancelled when a person got involved the next morning. - We signed up late the night before our ride. The trip advisor site automatically confirmed our reservation. The morning of our tour we got a message a couple hours ahead of the tour saying they had to cancel. They refunded the fee, but we did not have time to schedule another bike tour. C’est la vie, but I wish they hadn’t automatically accepted the booking and left it pending instead.
