From the moment you meet the Ignacio you knew you were going to have fun and learn about Buenos Aires and in particular Palermo and Ricoleta in a unique manner. Ignacio has vast knowledge of Argentina's colorful history and presents it in an easy to understand manner and offers the rider a chance to explore the country's challenges. He magically explores all views of a complicated history in a very respectful manner on all topics. The easy biking on a gorgeous sunny day allowed us to escape to quieter areas and ride through parks and cover a lot of territory traveling down safe avenues. He found a great Cafe break inside a very large park and that is when you get to better understand life in Argentina as Ignacio is a 30 year old, mature, young adult who has purpose. No doubt I will be reading about him favorably in the future as he carves his path. And, after the tour, I researched whether a statue of General San Jose Martin, a hero of Argentina and elsewhere, was in NYC in Central Park. Although I've walked through Central Park over a 1000 times I never stopped to consider this famous war hero. And there was San Martin right where Ignacio said it would be. He had remembered seeing the statue from Home Alone 2. Take Ignacio's tour. You will not be disappointed.
We took the English bike tour to the north side of the city. We loved our tour guide Kevin, who knew so much about the history, culture and nature of the city. We definitely recommend getting the tour with him!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hour tour with Ignacio ( Nacho). He was pleasant , patient, adaptable, and informative. Great way to see some city sights. Would definitely recommend
Definitely a must do for anyone visiting. We rode around Ricoleta and Palermo for 4+ hours. Great ride, bikes were great, well maintained. Our guide Kevin was fantastic, super knowledgeable about all the places we visited. Loved the rose garden and we even met his mom. Thank you so much! Highlight of our trip.
Great bike tour through Retiro, Recoleto and Palermo. Nice relaxed pace (a small amount of uphill at the end, good for your legs) and lots of history. I enjoyed the stops and learning about Portenos and the beautiful culture here. Ignacio is #1 tour guide!
Julyan greeted us at the Park Square as planned on a beautiful Friday afternoon, set us up with bike helmets and good single-speed bikes. He guided us expertly through the city’s bike lanes while pointing out MANY interesting and historic landmarks, sculptures, buildings, neighborhoods and other points of interest. GREAT way to spend our first day in Buenos Aires. Interestingly, we had booked a group tour but received a private tour which worked out really well navigating the city streets.
Very enjoyable tour. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Her English was perfect. And the bikes were comfortable and of fine quality.
