Relaxing ride filled with knowledge - German was outstanding. Shared his insights into Buenos Aires and Argentina: culture, history, food, wine, geography, economics, architecture and even a little politics. The ride was super easy and a great way to move through the “green spaces” of the north side. Highly recommend this ride guided by a delightful soul: German (not actually pronounced like the country)

Ideal way to start a visit to BA - Perfect way to begin a visit to Buenos Aires. We covered a lot of ground, and Gabi was charming and very knowledgeable, stopping at various points to talk about the history of what we were seeing. The pace was easy, and much of the route is on protected bike lanes. We --my husband and I and our daughter in her 20s--all very much enjoyed the tour, and highly recommend it, and Gabi.

The best way to get a perfect feeling of BA - I went in two bike tours, Recoleta- Palermo and City Center and both guides, Marcello and Ignacio were great. It was a wonderful way to get a feeling of this city and I learned a lot from both of them.

Don't miss out to learn about the "che boludo" and see the city - I had a tour with Carlos as a guide, his English was very understandable and the guy had so much knowledge about the city. I learned a lot, and mainly laughed a lot, the guide was pretty funny! I recommend 100% this activity to discover Palermo and Recoleta with peace of mind, I felt very secure, taken care of, and all my questions were answered. My favourite part was the maté and the whole ritual around it, it helped me understand a lot about the argentinians and their way of life. Don't miss out! I'll go for the other tours if I can, they are very flexible with the reservation last minute, helped a lot.

Fun day bikeride. - The park was closed when we were there. Couple of the metal petals were broken and being repaired. Bike tour was fun. Because game day made biking around the stadium impossible. The guide avoided the local area. Wish we could see the stadium. We felt safe during tour.
