Tour of Buenos Aires - Everything is excellent! The Agustin tour was excellent! 100% recommended. We did Buenos Aires to the south and returned through Buenos Aires to the north.

Two orange bike tours in two days. - Really enjoyed bike tours with this company in Buenos Aires. Nestor took us to La Boca and Puerto Madero yesterday. This was an afternoon tour and great fun. Today we went to Tigre delta. We ride bikes, took a train twice and had a boat trip around the delta which was absolutely fascinating. People live on the island so move around by boat and 'service' boats visit regularly with food and other goods. Some of the homes and jetties are most attractive and boats are lifted out of the water by a hoist and the boars sits in a raised cradle until further use. I presume it floods on occasions. It is a full day excursion and both come highly recommended.

Got more than I paid for! - I originally signed up for the south tour, but due to the weather and some people in the group who wanted to do stuff in the north, we did a hybrid tour Including san telmo, la boca, puerto madero, recoleta, and retiro. The guide, Nestor, was awesome. He explained things well in both english and spanish, and was happy to answer questions throughout. The tour lasted longer than I think it was supposed to, but I'm certainly not complaining about that. My only complain is some of the bikes need a little work, but without much intense terrain in Buenos Aires, they were sufficient.

Fantastic Guide, Great Afternoon - First, I cannot say enough nice things about Cush, who was my guide this afternoon. He was friendly and knowledgeable and interesting. I was the only person in the south group today, so ended up with a private tour (lucky me)! Buenos Aires is mostly flat, which made peddling around east and fun. Plus, you can cover so much more ground on bikes than on foot. Be warned, while this ride isn't physically strenuous, there are multiple parts where you must navigate through traffic, so it's not for the timid! Cush, however, was great about giving proactive directions and looking to see if I was still with him. The only thing keeping this tour from five stars is that the bikes are not in great condition. Mine was mainly fine, just a squeaky back wheel and a seat that slowly slid down during the ride (thanks for helping me readjust!). However multiply that by however many people are typically in a tour and it's and issue.

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.
