A well rounded adventure! - We really enjoyed our tour! Our guide, Martin, was friendly and knowledgeable, clearly enthusiastic about city, neighborhood, and culture. Bamboo bikes were awesome and comfortable. As an unexpected surprise, Martin began our tour with a thorough demonstration and practice of the yerba mate tea custom. A well rounded adventure, thoroughly recommend organization and guide!

Excellent guide, Ray! Street art is next level. - Excellent tour with Ray. Great way to see the city and areas you wouldn’t normally see. Ray had a ton of knowledge about the art and artist. Kept our teens engaged the whole time. Highly recommend.

Best way to start exploring the city! - Biking street art tour was a great experience, definitely one of the trip's highlights! Biking offers the chance to see multiple different neighborhoods, kind like city bus but in a self paced way. We felt very safe throughout. Our guide, Raymond, created a unique experience. Street art works as a trigger to learn about history, culture, soccer, religion and other. Graffitis were very diverse and beautiful to watch. Changed my perspective of street art in general. The food offered was the best Empanadas we had during our stay in the city. Raymond also offered recommendations that were very helpful for the rest of our stay (and some surprises that I dont want to spoil :). Recommend you do the tour first day of your trip, so you get the feeling and vibes of the city and take advantage of the recommendations offered!

Fun and relaxing ride - I loved this bike ride through the hidden little gems of neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. Seeing the art off the beaten path was a real treat. Martin was an excellent, knowledgeable, and fun guide. We wish we didn't have to leave because we'd another ride with them!

Great outing, exploring urban art by bike! - This was our favorite activity in Buenos Aires. A family of 4 (college age kids). We spent started by enjoying traditional mate with our tour leader Martin. Then spent several hours exploring beautiful Buenos Aires by bike and learning about interesting and historic murals along the way. We took tons of great photos. Enjoyed empanadas at a local spot that we would have never found on our own. Highly recommend this adventurous activity with Biking Buenos Aires!

Something that will stay with me - Fantastic tour with Pablo. Five stars!
He speaks English very well, can answer any question, accommodates all requests and has a great sense of humor.
He showed us many areas of Buenos Aires that we wouldn't have found on our own or that we might not have dared to go to. Bikes were in a good shape.
It was a very special day that I will remember for a long time.

Great little tour. - Great little tour of the mostly back streets. Bikes could do with a little more maintenance. But they do the job just fine.

Eye opening Bike Art Tour - Fun informative easy ride through off beaten path parts of city I would not have otherwise seen. Decorative; Historical; sports; political; community life so a wide variety of art and scale. Some impressive talent . Guide was relatively new at job but very knowledgable.
