Florence was a delightful and knowledgeable guide. The route however was frustratingly slow with many traffic lights. The tour might benefit from a route with less lights for a more consistent pace. More time in the lovely parks.
Thank you so much for your comments. The routes chosen for each tours are the best to see all the main attractions. Unfortunatelly we can not change the frequency of the traffic light.
Very easy ride, almost entirely flat, almost entirely on bicycle lanes, and manageable length - under four hours.
Hi Eduard, Thank you for your words. Nice to know that our city seemed manageable and easy to ride. Hope you enjoyed the tour with us. See you soon!

Hola! Muchas gracias por tus hermosas palabras! Nos alegramos muchísimo que hayas disfrutado de la experiencia. Esperamos verte pronto!
Tour guides was awesome! The tour lasted 4 hours. Although we didn’t finish, what we saw was great. The bike was a bit too small for me. I’m 6’3’, 260, and the bike was uncomfortable.
Hi! Thank you for your words, we will take them into account to keep making the riding experience better. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the ride despite of the seat. Hope to see you soon!
Samuel led me on a fascinating and fun tour of Recoleta and Palermo. We stopped at many interesting places and he provided me with informative narrative. I also got to see how BA is awesome for cyclists as it has amazing bike lanes to make traveling by bicycle safe and enjoyable. I highly recommend signing for this tour!!! And the bike is high quality if you want to borrow one and explore on your own.
Buenos Aires is increasingly prepared for bicycles and in these times where ecology is essential for our future, it is undoubtedly the best way to get to know the city. Thank you for taking the time to tell others about your experience. Saludos y esperamos volver a verte!
Quick, friendly, efficient, competent service. I met a part of Buenos on a very quiet and pleasant bike tour.
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentario! Tomara que possa voltar pronto em Buenos, estaremos esperando vcs. Grande abrazo!
A Bicycle tour through almost the entire city, I, my wife and our 11-year-old daughter did this tour and we were very satisfied, they are 4 hours of tours and the guide Abigail stopped at the main tourist points to explain to us about the history of the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, was a class of History and very cultural, Abigail was very attentive and showed very familiar with the history of Buenos Aires. The owner of the store that offers the tour was also very kind. We highly recommend this tour even because the city is flat and easy to ride Bike,
Oi!! Ficamos muito felizes quando você gosta da caminhada e da companhia de nossos guias. Esperamos que você tenha se divertido muito em Buenos Aires. Esperamos por você na próxima vez para continuar percorrendo a cidade. Saudações da equipe de Rental Bike.
This tour was awesome. I was very lucky to be on my own with a private tour of the city. I saw all of the sights and learnt some interesting history along the way. The ride is beautiful and the streets all have bike lanes so it feels safe. I did the north tour, but it pretty much covered the entire city! Highly recommend!! Thank you.
In glorious sunshine and a light breeze we were on the north tour for a good 4h. Pleasant pace, great trails, interesting spots and a great guide. We've learned a lot about the city, the countryside and the people. Highly recommended!
Hola Hikle, vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar! We are glad that you like what we do, and we thank you for choosing us for visiting Buenos Aires. Have a nice return home!
The guides were good, mainly Gonzalo who had great knowledge of the history and was willing to chat about different issues. The peace was relaxed (probably too much) and we got to see a lot, was a group of 6 and that is a nice number. Definitely recommended.
