We had a fantastic time with Lucie. She toured us around Retiro, Palermo and Recoleto showing us the sights while ensuring our safety. One of our bike got a flat tire but she repaired it quickly and we were on the road again. We recommend this tour to anybody wanting to see BA and also get some excercise.

From the moment you meet the Ignacio you knew you were going to have fun and learn about Buenos Aires and in particular Palermo and Ricoleta in a unique manner. Ignacio has vast knowledge of Argentina's colorful history and presents it in an easy to understand manner and offers the rider a chance to explore the country's challenges. He magically explores all views of a complicated history in a very respectful manner on all topics. The easy biking on a gorgeous sunny day allowed us to escape to quieter areas and ride through parks and cover a lot of territory traveling down safe avenues. He found a great Cafe break inside a very large park and that is when you get to better understand life in Argentina as Ignacio is a 30 year old, mature, young adult who has purpose. No doubt I will be reading about him favorably in the future as he carves his path. And, after the tour, I researched whether a statue of General San Jose Martin, a hero of Argentina and elsewhere, was in NYC in Central Park. Although I've walked through Central Park over a 1000 times I never stopped to consider this famous war hero. And there was San Martin right where Ignacio said it would be. He had remembered seeing the statue from Home Alone 2. Take Ignacio's tour. You will not be disappointed.

We took the English bike tour to the north side of the city. We loved our tour guide Kevin, who knew so much about the history, culture and nature of the city. We definitely recommend getting the tour with him!
Rebecca_K, Apr 2026
Great bike tour through Retiro, Recoleto and Palermo. Nice relaxed pace (a small amount of uphill at the end, good for your legs) and lots of history. I enjoyed the stops and learning about Portenos and the beautiful culture here. Ignacio is #1 tour guide!

Sol was knowledgeable and a great host. We rode through several parks and wonderful neighborhoods. This was a great way to see a portion of BA.
Jay_F, Jan 2026
We exceeded our 4 hrs and Luciana showed us a number of sites and described the history behind them. We also enjoyed a small break and had a good opportunity to ask a lot about the culture.

Really fun ride through Buenos Aires!! Learned a bit about the history and culture of Argentina through riding around different areas of the city. I loved seeing the rose garden and the highlights of the city in such a short period of time. There were only 4 of us, so it felt like a very intimate tour.
I wish we did this on day 1!!

So much to see in Buenos Aires, and it’s easier on a bike! Giulian was a great guide with exceptional language skills in English and Spanish. He knew all the history of the area and took us on a very nice tour. We really enjoyed our afternoon.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for your lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed exploring Buenos Aires by bike!
We hope to see you on another ride soon!
Michael_P, Oct 2024
Very informative tour to the Recoleta and Palermo areas of Buenos Aires. Our guide was very knowledgable. The route was pretty flat which was good because the bikes are single gear, basket at the front types. The route goes along busy main roads. While this was safe as we ride on the pavement ( sidewalk), it was quite a noisy trip.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the informative tour through Recoleta and Palermo. We appreciate your thoughts on the route and bikes—your input helps us enhance the experience. Hope to welcome you back for more discoveries soon!

German was outstanding. Shared his insights into Buenos Aires and Argentina: culture, history, food, wine, geography, economics, architecture and even a little politics.
The ride was super easy and a great way to move through the “green spaces” of the north side.
Highly recommend this ride guided by a delightful soul: German (not actually pronounced like the country)
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Buenos Aires with us. We're glad the ride was easy and enjoyable for you. Kind regards.

I went in two bike tours, Recoleta- Palermo and City Center and both guides, Marcello and Ignacio were great. It was a wonderful way to get a feeling of this city and I learned a lot from both of them.

Greg_P, Mar 2024
It didnt happen.
2 postponements due to 'weather', and then a cancellation due to tour guide sickness.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We don't know how to respond to something so ridiculous: Half the city of Buenos Aires is flooded and you want to take a bike tour? Obviously we don't want to cancel and lose work, but we can't risk your life and ours! Next time we will offer you a kayak tour so you can enjoy the city from the flood, otherwise we will try to develop magic skills to control the weather and make the sun come out during your vacation. Kind regards.

My bike got a flat. The second guide did switch bikes with me and caught us up later. Wife's bike broke down completely forcing us to push our bikes the last 5 blocks with the second guide, as the primary guide and the group didn't notice and left us behind.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We're truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience during your tour.
We'll address this internally to ensure smoother assistance in such situations. Please accept our apologies, and we appreciate your understanding.
Regarding the itinerary, it shows all the city higlights of BA during 4 hours, so bad you could not see them during the whole tour.
Kind regards.
Peter_d, Feb 2024
I ended up being lucky and getting a 1 on 1 tour. Mati asked in the beginning what my interests were and crafted the tour to exactly what I wanted. I was very impressed by his knowledge of history and BA!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We're thrilled you had a personalized tour experience with Mati, tailored to your interests. It's fantastic to hear you were impressed by his historical knowledge and enjoyed exploring Buenos Aires with him. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!

We had the most enjoyable bike tour with Alex, we were lucky we had him all to ourselves. Nothing was rushed and we had lots of informative and fun chat. We highly recommend this tour.

Kathrine_D, Jan 2024
Very enjoyable bike ride covering a lot of the city. I thought this tour might double up with the city tour we did, but it covered different parts and of course our guide highlighted different things - so well worth doing to get a different view/persecutive. Our tour guide Gabrielle was excellent.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thanks a lot for this awesome review! So great to read how much you loved it! Kind regards.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we had an additional guide that helped block traffic at intersections. We stopped at a cafe for a snack and it was great. The tour was very extensive and took us to many stops around the city.
