Northern circle city cycling tour - Raymond was very knowledgeable and interesting guide for our tour. He’s a Kiwi who’s mad BA his home some 15 years ago. His love for his chosen home comes through as hi passionately shares gems of this vibrant and fantastic place. The cycling was great and is a perfect way to see this city in sections of interest. Don’t hesitate to choose this tour and make sure you get Raymond, a kind, knowledgeable funny guide who can make one mean Mate!

Nice bike ride with many information and a mate ceremony - We had a very nice bike ride with Ricardo. He gave us many information about the
Places we went and about local and Argentinian history and culture. We also got to know a Mate ceremony.
The bikes were in a good shape as well. We recommend Biking Buenos Aires and Ricardo as a tour guide as well!

Buenes Aires Bike Tour - This bike tour took us through La Boca And the Caminito art area as well as Puerto Madera and Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve. We were able to get a detailed history of Argentina from our Tour Guide. This was a fantastic biking tour and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to hear about history as well as enjoying much of nature and the beauty of Buenos Aires. Patricio made this such a delightful experience and he is a 10 out of 10 Tour Guide.

Best Bike Tour of Southern Buenos Aires - If you're looking for something interesting to do and looking to learn more about the history of Argentina, this is an excellent way to do so. This tour was one of the highlights of our entire stay in Buenos Aires. Our tour guide Pablo did an excellent job explaining the history of the city and of the nation. We visited the south side of the city and got an excellent introduction into yerba mate. Paula did an excellent job asking questions, answering questions, keeping the tour interesting and was incredibly passionate the entire time. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.

Amazing Bike Tour - We had our tour today and loved it. Pablo was absolutely amazing! The tour was great but Pablo really made it special. The ride itself is a leisure ride. You make lots of stops and plenty of photo ops. A few of our favorite stops consisted of lunch at a local food truck for a delicious sandwich and our favorite stop was when we learned about mate and had the opportunity to try some. Before the tour I had concerns about riding bikes in the city with traffic but Pablo helps create a safe and comfortable environment and we had no issues at all. This tour is a wonderful way to see a beautiful warm lively city and it’s beautiful kind people. We have nothing negative to say about the tour. Highly recommend!! When you’re with Pablo you feel like you’re touring around with family.

Don't miss it! The best way to explore the city as a tourist or local! - An amazing experience! Highly recommended!!
I am Argentina but I live in the United States and always travel with my husband and friends to share with them our beautiful country.
This experience was great as it combined many factors including the warmth Argentina (our guide I should have a total idol!) with the bike tour as an ideal way to explore the city, with much historical and social information of our beloved Argentina. We even danced tango (Debi gave us a mini class in La boca😍) and had mate with cornstarch alfajocirtos in the square!
In the future I will always send my friends to take advantage of this beautiful experience!
