Highly recommend this tour! I was told by another rider that he had taken several bike tours in BA and this was by far the best one. We were a group of six. Very safe, almost all the tour was in bike lanes and the bikes were in very good condition. Guadeloupe and Nico were awesome guides. They have a lot of energy and enthusiasm for sharing BA culture and history. The tour is paced very well, with number of stops and picture ops. Loved stopping in La Boca/El Caminito for the best empanadas in BA.

What a Great Way to Experience a City! BA Bikes provided such a wonderful tour. Our guide was safe (helping us navigate the Buenos Aires streets) in a safe yet enjoyable way. The guide was very knowledgeable about all things Buenos Aires - from the history of the city, the culturally diverse neighborhoods, to the architecture and even when it came to Argentine football. She helped make this one of the highlights of my trips.

The group was very large – 18 people – which meant that the organisation of getting everyone kitted out and keeping us all together on the route was challenging. Had the group been smaller I would have awarded 5 stars. We had a tour leader, Loope and a second guide who were both informative and helped us enjoy their city, with good explanations of the history and geography of the districts we were visiting. A stop to watch some tango dancers, a visit to Boca Juniors stadium and a tasty empanada all added to the experience. The La Boca area was buzzing as a football match was scheduled for later in the day. Like all guided tours you visit places in safety that you might not see on your own!

Excellent guide and very interesting tour. Fascinating contrasts in this beautiful city
Felt very safe and cycling was the best way to see the real BA

We really enjoyed seeing the highlights of Buenos Aires by bike. It was a lot more immersive than a typical sightseeing bus ride. We came from a Viking cruise and it was very easy to get from the ship to the meeting point.

Very good tour and guide knowledgeable. Got to see very interesting parts of city, including La Boca.

A great experience, despite the fact that I had been to all the places we visited around the city before, yet I came across new things (also had the chance to buy some rather yummy empanadas). Camila was an absolute gem of a guide, extravagant, funny and warm and also very knowledgable, along with Felipe, both of whom were super helpful and had an impressive command of English too! Not to be missed:)

Very good your Cesar is very knowledgeable and friendly. He will answer questions and speaks English very well.

This was a perfect way to finish our 5-day stay in BA! We learned many interesting facts about the places that we have already visited and discovered many new parts of the old parts of the city. The tour allowed us bringing it all together. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Riding on the 1st of January on a sunny day while the city was still sleeping was the best way to start the New Year!

This was a great way to get to know BA. The staff was professional and helpful. The guide was insightful and was very personable. If you enjoy riding a bicycle and experiencing city life, I highly recommend this adventure. We visited different neighborhoods. This tour can help you determine what areas you want to further explore.

I had a great time on the bike tour (South BA) w BA bikes. Our guide was Federico and he was wonderful telling us all about the sites, history, and people of BA. He actually had me crying at the last stop listening to him recant the political issues that resulted in the disappearance of many Argentinians and inspired me to learn more about the country and its passionate, brave people.
The bikes were in good shape, everyone at the office was friendly, and they kept us safe-having extra staff sweep for lollygags . Buenos Aires has great bike lanes and the city is simply made for exploring in this manner. Taking this tour was a safe, fun and efficient way of seeing it.
The only changes I would suggest is first to have a firm start time. I was the only person on time in a group of 10 arriving at 930 am whereas others cruised in after 10. This can be solved by NOT providing a time window and simply saying the tour starts at 9:30 sharp.
In addition, tourists like to see as much in their day as they can and a 930-10am start is just too late. A full hour earlier start would mean they could fit more things in to their visit to the city AND they could ride the bikes in cooler weather.
I highly recommend this company for exploring this beautiful city!

Our bike tour happened on a most exciting day in the history of Argentina during the World Cup victory celebration. Amazingly, Federico and his team showed up, re-routed the group to safe routes, and offered interesting and relevant information about the country and the city. 5-star guys, and wonderful introduction to Buenos Aires. Thank you.

Perfect way to start any trip to BA is a half day bike tour to get the lay of the land. Great tour and daily flat so an easy bike. Amazing English speaking guides!!!
Evelijn_I, Mar 2020
Gaston was our guide and he really gave us a very interesting inside view of the city.
He has a good sense of humour, is charming and sweet.
Hope that tourists come back soon to see for them selves
Stewart_P, Feb 2020
Federico was a great guide taking us to a range of very interesting places and creating a really good atmosphere among fellow cyclists.

Danny Boy and Adrian put safety first and the excursion included a lot of history and interesting stops. Both the guides were knowledgeable and hospitable! Bravo amigos!!!
Dennis R, Jan 2019
While the bikes could be better the tour and insights into Buenos Aires are outstanding. Gaston was incredible. Extremely knowledgeable and speaks perfect English. Betty his colleague was great and kept us all safe. Worth every penny.

Chilled out bike ride while exploring the beautiful Buenos Aires with a private tour from an extremely knowledgeable and easy going guide and now friend, Eze.

I had a wonderful tour with BA Bikes in May 2017 to South BA. Our guide Augusto Garcia Novak gave us a lot of information on BA, the city and history, he was opened to all our questions and happy to answer them. I simply enjoyed it. Beside this I rented a bike at BA Bikes another day and made a tour on my own to the northern part of BA. All the best to the team and continue to work on the same level :
Golnar J, Mar 2017
I loved the south Circuit bike tour. Our tour guide was Ezekiel!! He was very knowledgable and funny. He was a local from La Boca and every one seemed to know him as we walked in the neiburhoods. He gave us a lot of history about places we visited and he was very passionate about BA!!! We loved him
Joanne_K, Feb 2017
the best way to see this beautiful city. Mateo and Gus were great and I felt safe at all times on the very busy streets. Thanks guys
David W, Jan 2017
Excellent small group cycle tour of the southern areas of Buenos Aires. Covered a lot of ground but tour was well-planned, coped well with unexpected traffic chaos resulting from subway shut-down. Tour quite different from Northern area tour, more history and buildings with La Boca a real highlight. Bikes a little older than in some other city tours we've done but overall very enjoyable and a great way to see more of this sprawling city.
Timothy H, Jan 2017
My Family really enjoyed our South Buenos Aires Bike Tour. Our Guides Mateo and Gustavo were knowledgeable, friendly and always had safety on their minds. We learned so much history and culture. Biking is a great way to get around any city. We saw so much. Highly recommended. BA Bikes is the best, their people make the difference.
Megan_C, Oct 2016
Loved biking with the BA Bikes guys! Was super thrilled to book this tour only two hours in advance. I was a solo traveler and the guys made me feel right at home with the group. They were informative, very aware of our safety while biking, and super friendly. They wanted to offer any tips or advice on Buenos Aires at the end of the tour, which was really nice of them. Highly recommend!
Natalie T, Oct 2016
Toppo and Mateo were amazing guides. Very personable and knowledgeable. Thank you for showing us a side of BA we wouldn't have seen by ourselves. Highly recommended.
Michelle o, Aug 2016
The bike trip was such am awesome way to see the city! We did the South city tour and got to see a good portion of the city this way. We are a family of six and we all loved our guides Topo and Heidi. We enjoyed the trip so much that we booked another bike snack tour with them later in the week. I would highly recommend BA Bikes to any one!
Liam_W, Jun 2016
Highly recommend this tour. Great way to see the city and our guide Gaston told us some interesting history of Buenos Aires and Argentina. We originally booked for a day which was raining and horrible but they were pretty flexible and we arranged to go on a day which had better weather. 10/10
JOSECARLOS_Q, Apr 2016
Gastón and Juan were a very frendly guides and the tour was very interesting. We expend almost four hours knowing part of the city in a funniest way!
Jenke G, Dec 2015
