Wonderful Bike Tour with Lorraine - Lorraine was a great guide. She provided a very informative tour of public art, urban parks, and architecture in the northern areas of the city. We really appreciated her insights on the city's history and the status of sustainable transportation and cycling infrastructure along the way. The tour was well-paced and Lorraine was friendly and fun. We were very happy to take the tour and would recommend it.

Great way to see Buenos Aires - We were very well served, via WhatsApp, to schedule the tour with the guide. It was a great way to get to know the city and with lots of information provided by our guide. The bike is simple, no marches, but working well. As the stretch is all flat, there was no problem. The journey is long, with a few stops at the main sights, three and a half hours of duration, we took great advantage.

Ride on City Streets with Large Trucks - Five or so years ago I took a bike tour like this one and thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommended doing this to my friends and promised there would be minimal riding on streets, 95% bike lanes. Turns out there is construction everywhere and we spent 60% of our time on streets riding with fast moving traffic. It was a frightening experience, especially in an unknown city. Our leader, Julia Anna, would take off fast from each stop, and fail to look back. Several times I got caught at a red light and could not cross with others. Since she never checked, I was left behind to catch up. With only 5 riders on the tour, she managed to lose 3 of us, going through an area so crowded it was difficult to maneuver the bikes. We simply waited for her to come back for us as we didn't know where to go! While fun to see the city, I found myself getting upset at her lack of concern. Finally, our last stop, Recoleta Cemetery, we were given 15 minutes and told Eva Peron's grave site was somewhere in the rear left. We were never able to find it! I had seen it on my prior visit, but felt bad for my friends who never had. I read about another tour that had a 30 minute break there and guide took them to the site. Clearly should have taken that tour. The final straw was our ride back to the bike shop, all in rush hour traffic, in the lanes with cars, moving fast and honking at us! By the time we got there, I was thoroughly disgusted. I know they can't do anything about construction except find the best alternate route. However, it seems this company chose the worst alternate route. Unfortunately, since Trip Advisor bought Viator, it seems that if you are not careful, they assign a company and it is not clear what you've got. I would never go with this company again. I believe last time was with BA Bikes and a wonderful tour, but I would check with all on route time not in bike lanes due to construction.
