“This was our favorite activity in Buenos Aires. A family of 4 (college age kids). We 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!” - Reviewed on 2025-01-26
