Our meeting point is at San Martin Square, one of the most traditional parks of Buenos Aires. This beautiful green area has been witness of many important events in argentinian history and today is a perfect resting place for locals and tourists.
It is the newest an most expensive area in our city. Warehouses located in this old port area have been refurbished and transformed into modern elegant restaurants, ample lofts and superb offices which have breathtaking views of the city and the distinctive river "Río de la Plata"
The biggest park in Buenos Aires is a 865-acre (3.50 km2) tract of low land on the Río de la Plata riverbank located on the east side of Puerto Madero district. You can not miss this unique opportunity to ride through its exotic and unique tracks close to the city where nature and the environment are preserved. *Only closed on mondays or after rains - In this case we see it from the outside.
Historically, La Boca has been the portside dramatic neighborhood which welcoming particular style reflects the migratory influx; it is one of the Tango's cradles, along with its brothels and antique cafes.
"Caminito" (a picturesque street) is a must for tourists who want to explore this unique and unforgettable landmark. In this stop we take a 30 minutes break approximately so you can have the chance to walk around the area.
The perfect stop for football lovers and for those who want to know the passion of the Argentines and the history of the colors of the most famous soccer team in the country, where Diego Maradona was consecrated as a star of the sport.
San Telmo is the oldest district of Buenos Aires, actually Lezama park is where the foundation of the city took place. Today this well-preserved area is a must for those who want to explore the historical heritage of the city.
The main public buildings are located around Plaza de Mayo, such as: Casa de Gobierno (Argentine White House), Buenos Aires Cabildo, Catedral Metropolitana (Metropolitan Cathedral) and much more.

Fun easy-going way to learn about Buenos Aires’ history. Got to explore some good neighborhoods and appreciated to stop for empanadas and a drink. The ride itself was not particularly strenuous and I probably would’ve enjoyed another hour to check out the ecological reserve. A lovely, active way to learn more about the beautiful city of Buenos Aires.
We had an excellent guide, Lucy. She was knowledgeable and engaging. She took the time to learn our interests and tailored the tour accordingly. We highly recommend the tour and Lucy. Thanks for a great day!!
The bike tour with our guide Julian is absolutely recommended. Julian taught us a lot about Buenos Aires in exceptionally good English, which made us fall in love with this city. Thank you very much for this great bike tour.
Our guide, Ignacio, was engaging and informative. We enjoyed the tour!
¡Buen día! This bike tour through Buenos Aires was the perfect way to experience the city’s sights, sounds, and culture. The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride, and our guide, Johnny, was both knowledgeable and friendly. He kept the tour organized and enjoyable while making sure everyone felt comfortable. He also gave us plenty of opportunities to stop for photos and ask questions along the way. We especially enjoyed riding along Costanera Sur and exploring parts of the colorful La Boca neighborhood. Seeing these areas by bike provided a unique perspective that we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. If you’re looking for a bike tour that isn’t overly strenuous but still offers a great introduction to Buenos Aires and its rich culture, this tour is an excellent choice!
Johnny was my English speaking guide on this 4 hour tour of the city. Johnny’s past travel and work experiences led to interesting conversations about history and provide topics to discuss as we stopped in between our sites. The ride was very easy due to the flat nature of the path we took from Plaza San Martin, through the Reserva Ecologica Costanera Sur, and then to La Boca (including the stadium with an empanada snack break) and back to Plaza de Mayo. Johnny was engaging and is a five start bike tour guide.
We had a great trip with Ignacio or nacho! He was a great tour guide. He was very fluent in English and extremely knowledgeable about history of Buenos Aires. We really appreciate the time he talk to take us around the city safely.
We found a great way to get to the Caminito, to pause from the bus routes. The guide was fun and attentive, thanks Nacho.
Jonathan was a phenomenal guide. Knowledgeable and good communicator. I learned a lot during our tour. I highly recommend this service.
Lucy was our guide. She was awesome! So knowledgeable and warm. She led us through the streets of city center and southern BA (La Boca!). A wonderful time, we feel like we had a true visit to this beautiful city.
