This is an excellent way of exploring Buenos Aires beyond the city center. Especially with the friendly and knowledgeable guides from Bike Tours. We had a fun afternoon rolling through Recoleta and Palermo. Totally recommended!

Nico was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable, friendly and very flexible. With only a short time in B.A., this was a terrific way to really see the city. Bikes are well maintained, bike lanes are generally respected.

So much fun minus the traffic on some parts, but it's a city life. My guides were the best. Nico and Aida were super friendly and pointed out things along the way.

It was a great tour, Fernando and Fabio were super helpful and knowledgeable - definitely recommend

Great staff. Good bike. Interesting tour if la boca, and south of BA.
