Great time and lots of interesting info - Our guided city tour with Chad and Ivan was great. We got to see a lot of areas we hadn’t seen before and when we returned to the Casa Rosada, they were able to give us a lot of information about it and the square that we didn’t know. All very nice people and we would definitely recommend them!
Thank you 😊👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

Great Tour! - Nestor, my guide, was phenomenal! He accommodated the moments I wanted to stop to look at birds, he shared so much information, and he seemed to enjoy the bike ride as much as I did, which made me feel good! I did not get to visit the ecological reserve because it was storming earlier in the day, which was a bummer. However, riding along the lagoon provided plenty of opportunities to bird watch and enjoy the scenery from afar. This was a great tour, and if you want a slower-paced, information-filled tour of the South part of Buenos Aires, get in on this tour. So wonderful! Oh! And communicating with the tour coordinator via Viator and WhatsApp was very easy! They were responsive and kind! Overall, an excellent adventure!

Great tour - You get to see many different areas of Buenos Aires in a short time that you may not have been able to visit by yourself. There are plenty of stops to explain the history of each area and lots of free time at Caminito in La Boca to explore on your own.

Easy paced bike tour - We cycled with one other couple, and had a lady tour leader and a lad following. It was a really hot day, but the pace was easy. With lots of water stops at various points of interest. Most is on bike lanes, and is very safe. This is a great way of seeing many of the sights of Buenos Aires.

Enjoyable Ride - This is our second time visiting Buenos Aires, and both times, we have done a bike tour with this company. This trip, we chose the tour of the southern part of the city (last time was the northern part). While we enjoyed the tour, we were unable to ride through the ecological reserve as it was closed due to rain. We were most excited about this portion of the tour, so a little disappointment on our end. Our guide, Nestor, was friendly and knowledgeable. We had him last year as well, and would definitely recommend him as a guide.

Great guide and really nice way to... - <p>Great guide and really nice way to see some parts of the city that were a little further away to the CBD. Monika was very helpful when we needed to change the time of our tour. Would definitely recommend this or any of the other tours through La Bicicleta Naranja.</p>

Truly average - The tour was less expensive than some offered by other companies but there was nothing special about the company. We had two guides. One lead and gave us some information about some of the places that we visited. The other “guide” never interacted with any customers and stayed in the rear and listening to his phone on AirPods. The places we stopped we good especially the soccer stadium and La Boca and we visited places I would not have gone on my own. Overall the tour was acceptable and worth the money though there may be other companies and or guides worth considering.

BA southern tour - time was too rushed - I went on the Buenos Aires southern bike tour, and although the background at each site we and navigation through streets/traffic was great - my main dislike about the tour was time allowed to spent at each point of interest. I think we visited too many locations and did not allocate enough for each point.
Especially at Caminito/La Boca, which was the main attraction point to me, we were only allowed 20 minutes to walk around. Mind you, this is a very big and busy place, especially as a first-time tourist, you will want to take pictures and walk around a little more to explore the shops. 20 mins was defintely not enough for a main attraction like this. If anything, I wouldn't mind trimming time off or eliminating some other locations, and allowing us to spend more time here.
Other than that, the guides were friendly and very knowledgeable.
