- Caminito - The birth-place of Tango and disembarkation point for more than 6 million immigrants. The colours how they came to be and why the volunteer fireservice are so revered. More than this you will experience with our local friends for an insiders view of the tourist hoards below…
- Puerto Madero - Designed to be the economic epi-centre of the city and built with the same brick used for the Albert Docks in England (and bollards from Sheffield foundry in Wales), this port could be considered one of the largest art installation in the world as it was only briefly used as a port before being abandoned and cordoned-off for 80 years…
- Reserva Ecologica - Bob Ross the famous TV painter might describe the reserve as a ‘happy accident’, we have Juan Domingo Perón and mother nature to thank for this peaceful respite from the city of fury. (closed Mondays).

A perfect, fun way to experience the city - This bike tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We did a private tour because we got in from New Zealand late the night before and wanted flexibility.
Ray our bike guide was superb. It helped that he is a fellow Kiwi as our Spanish is lacking. But his passion for Buenos Aires and cool anecdotes made it so much fun. Even though I’m not much of a cyclist I found it a breeze. Very flat and easy to navigate with Ray’s expert guidance.
We only had 2 days in the gorgeous Buenos Aires and this was a perfect way to take in heaps of the city and soak in its beauty, culture and history. Loved it! And the April weather was perfect for it.

Cool Biking Experience - Highly Recommend - Raymond was very fun and made sure to take cool photos and videos detailing our experience. He also served us mate from scratch and it was delicious. Go if you want to get a cool glimpse into Argentinian life while getting a workout in at same time.

A great way to get to know Buenos Aires - Pablo was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and personable, and with wonderful English. He gave us a great overview of central Buenos Aires, the history and culture, and is understandably proud of this beautiful city. He was very pleasant to talk to, discussing history, culture and politics. As a special treat he produced mate that we enjoyed on the banks of the River Plate. The riding was flat and easy. We would highly recommend this excursion.

1/2 day Heart of the City by Bike - We had a great 1/2 day biking around BA with Pato and Deby. They were fun and engaging and provided us with lots of historical background on the sites we saw. We even got a tango lesson and shared a cup of mate and dulce de leche. We would highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic 5 hours….ask for Pablo!! - Pam and enjoy more than any other type of tour…one on a bike and this tour is no exception! Pablo is a native and has all the knowledge, skill, charisma necessary and more, he just a ton of fun!
We accomplished so much in 5 hours which is longer than our usual bike tours offerings - and it was worth it. History, ecological, art, government buildings and some Mate on a break that was a first for Pam.
The ride is easy, allows you to experience so much and our weather was perfect. Make sure to add this to your “must do’s in BA and make sure to get Pablo! Fantastic Day…

A true cultural experience. - It was an exceptional tour. In addition to the energy of physical activity, we were affected and inspired by the energy of the instructor. A passionate artist and very knowledgeable about the culture and who made it possible for us to be Argentines for a day. It was amazing!!!
