Recalling bike sights - For those who like to ride a bike and already have some knowledge of the city. It was good, but it could be better if the bikes were better and if it wasn't compulsory to stop at all the traffic, even if it was visibly free. It took time and tired in the retakes on the bike without a move. The guide Fernanda knows the places well and is proud of her city. But we don't have time on the stops. Three hours of constant pedal.

Got a nice tour of north... - Got a nice tour of north part of Buenos Aires. Saw great sites. Tour guide did awonderful job. Most on bike path, but you will have to also navigate cobblestone streets too.

Great ride but little information - It was a great long bike ride and the guide was nice, but there was very little information given along the way and we saw so many things of interest that could have been talked about. We still really enjoyed the ride and got ideas of places where we want to return during our stay. It was a great way to start the trip.

Disappointing city tour. Pleasant but really lacking. - As others have commented: lots of riding but very little information or story. Thankfully, I like riding.
We went on this after seeing a similar group the day before being shown the Monument Tower. That org was booked up for our afternoon, and they mentioned Bicicletta Naranja as an alternative.
Bikes were ok. Guide was pleasant and might have been knowledgeable. We stopped about five times, maybe six in more than three hours. Most were for short, two minute, explanations. Two stops were much longer, where we'd be 'free' while guide looked after the bikes: 20 minutes in a park to view a rose garden. The other two customers went to see. We sat around. And 15 minutes to view the grave of Eva Peron. Other two had seen that, and were told they were 'free' to do as they liked.
It was all just a bit lame. Five or six tiny explanations of things seen. I'm no better aware of the story of Argentina or Buenos Aires or anything than I was before.
No doubt - judging by other management replies - this'll get a similar "we're sorry you feel that way..." but truth is this just not a good product/experience. Too lightweight, little substance. They really need to up their game.
And now I find out (on here), I've been massively overcharged too :-(

WORST EXPERIENCE IN BUENOS AIRES - Do not waste your time. We booked an English-speaking tour - but, even as a native English speaker, I was unable to understand him - and we were not the only ones. The other native English speakers on the trip kept asking me if I knew what he had said.
The tour says you will hit certain landmarks in approximately 3 to 3.5 hours. We did not hit a SINGLE one of the big attractions in the 3.5 hour period - we did not see Recoleta Cemetery, Casa Rosada, Buenos Aires Zoo, the Botanical Garden, or several other promised sites.
The staff is also rude and unprofessional. I got a nasty email three days before my scheduled tour saying that I had missed the tour (they had the wrong date), and despite numerous requests for help with my helmet, the guide ignored me altogether.
When I contacted the tour company to express my concerns, they made up a story about a conversation I allegedly had at the beginning of the tour, during which I said that I was "tired." This conversation never, ever happened.
This was - by far - the worst experience we had in Buenos Aires and the worst experience I've ever had with a tour company on Viator.
