Learned so much about Buenos Aires and Argentina's history - We learned so much from our tour guide, Flo. We biked all over the southern part of BA. She's super knowledgeable and was just excellent!

Great tour with a fantastic tourguide - We were well taken Care of by Barbie, who tooks ud through San Telmo and La Boca.
I was a bit overheated during the tour, but Barbie was really good at checking in.
A really good way to see the city, if you don’t have that many days.

Great way to get an intro to Buenos Aires - Ride was mostly along trails which felt safe and well planned. Our guide was engaged and had shared her knowledge and some history of Buenos Aires. A great way to start your visit to the city to get your bearings and learn some important info (like don’t visit Boca in the evenings). The ride through the preserve was dusty and “meh” as not much in the way of wildlife you can see.

One of the Best Ways to see BA Up Close - Our small group tour (4 riders plus the guide) had a glorious summer day's ride on the South Side. Its one of the best ways to see BA (or any city) up close. Our guide (apologies for not recalling her name) was really personable and knowledgeable so it was a fine learning experience as well. The bikes were in good condition and the riding fairly easy, mostly flat and only a limited amount in traffic (BA has lots of bike lanes). We are in our 60's, not athletic, and it was fun and easy.

Brilliant city! - Great afternoon trip. La Boca district was my favourite part, so colourful and lively. Streets filled with artists, dancers, food and music. Cycling was easy and safe. Very efficient way to see a lot of areas quickly. Our tour guide, Nestor was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. Worth doing!!

A great way to see San Telmo and La Boca - So I will start with the positive: we had a friendly informative guide and were able to cover a lot of ground in a short time. I feel like I got a general appreciation for BA. The drawback is that you are weaving in and out of traffic, which was downright scary.

It was dangerous. We were weaving... - <p>It was dangerous. We were weaving in and out of very heavy rush hour traffic, and our bikes broke down along the way, although the guide was able to fix them up pretty quick. I'd still recommend this trip but I'd advise doing it during a time of day when the roads and sidewalks are less crowded.</p>
