BA by Bike 1/2 day - Great way to see the city, english speaking guide was really informative. We just did a half day which was surprisingly tiring. Water is provided but you might like to take a snack bar as well to keep up the energy levels.

Great bike tour, very knowledgeable guide with fun stories - This is simply a great way to see the city. Bike tours are often fun, and this one is no exception. The guide had lots of interesting stories and was able to bring history alive, even for our teenagers :). Definitely recommended.

Best way to see the city - Abigail took us down to La Boca and Caminita area then round port Madero and back through centre. She did a great job navigating us around some complicated junctions and we stopped frequently for explanations and questions. We went places the tour buses don't go, and the explanations from a local so much better than sitting listening to a recorded commentary with buds stuck in your ears. Bike was a fixie but that was OK- no hills in BA.
