didn't take tour BUT... - I booked a tour at the last minute (day before) hoping to squeeze in a sightseeing tour on my work trip after I arrived in BA and before my meetings started the following day. Unfortunately, immigration took so long that I didn't have time to get to my hotel and then also to the tour. I would have been 15 min late to the tour. I did not expect a refund as it was not their fault but they kindly and surprisingly gave me one - shows they are an honorable company and I hope to join them in the future if my work or personal travels bring me back to BA. thank you kindly!

Best way to see BA! - Knowing how big of a city Buenos Aires is and having limited time, this really made our trip. We lucked out with Néstor being our tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable and personable as well. Rita was helpful as well. If you’re looking for a great way to see the sights and get some exercise, this is for you.

Great way to see Buenos Aires - We did a 3 hour afternoon cycle tour and were lucky with just three of us in the group. Being a Sunday meant there was far less traffic and we were also lucky to have a clear sunny day. Easy flat cycling and a great way to see the major landmarks. Would highly recommended.

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.

Bicycle ride - We had a good tour of the bicycle paths and parks of Buenos Aires. There was a guide in the front and one at the back trying to keep us safe in the traffic. Unfortunately there was no guiding while cycling and stops were mostly in nice parks. We cycled for 3.5 hours and did cover a lot of ground but if you are looking for lots of information this is not the best tour. If you are looking to have an afternoon ride through Buenos Aires often on bike paths then go for it.

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.
