Our meeting point is at San Martin Square, one of the most traditional parks of Buenos Aires. This beautiful green area has been witness of many important events in argentinian history and today is a perfect resting place for locals and tourists.
It is the newest an most expensive area in our city. Warehouses located in this old port area have been refurbished and transformed into modern elegant restaurants, ample lofts and superb offices which have breathtaking views of the city and the distinctive river "Río de la Plata"
The biggest park in Buenos Aires is a 865-acre (3.50 km2) tract of low land on the Río de la Plata riverbank located on the east side of Puerto Madero district. You can not miss this unique opportunity to ride through its exotic and unique tracks close to the city where nature and the environment are preserved. *Only closed on mondays or after rains - In this case we see it from the outside.
Historically, La Boca has been the portside dramatic neighborhood which welcoming particular style reflects the migratory influx; it is one of the Tango's cradles, along with its brothels and antique cafes.
"Caminito" (a picturesque street) is a must for tourists who want to explore this unique and unforgettable landmark. In this stop we take a 30 minutes break approximately so you can have the chance to walk around the area.

Wit a tour on a bike you can see more than walking. The guide told interesting stories.
Julian, my tour guide, made the event very fun and interesting. He knows the city like the back of his hand and did a great job of explaining the history of Buenos Aires. I would highly recommend you request him as your tour guide
If you are limited on time in Buenos Aires, this is the tour for you. In a half a day, we saw most of the highlights of the city. It’s a very thorough biking tour and gives you a good lay of the land for your visit and an idea of any areas you may wish to return to.
Our tour guide, Julien, has all the knowledge about the city history and navigation. It was a wonderful experience to roam around the city by bike! Thank you for the wonderful tour!
Excellent half day of biking in most of the best areas to see in BA. Lovely guide Julian was so helpful and kind and made the ride very fun. About 15 km of biking so be ready physically!! Perfect way to see the attractions in half a day!!
City bus payable by Visa; Tigre trip by train.
Outstanding tour of the Centro, Boca, Maduro, and San Telmo districts. Easy pace, very safety-conscious, excellent knowledgeable guide. We had Julian leading us, his English was excellent and he was very friendly and engaging. If you have limited time in the city this is a great way to see as much as possible, and learn about Buenos Aires. Also, we had to reschedule our tour because of flight delays, and they were very understanding and helpful.
Fun easy-going way to learn about Buenos Aires’ history. Got to explore some good neighborhoods and appreciated to stop for empanadas and a drink. The ride itself was not particularly strenuous and I probably would’ve enjoyed another hour to check out the ecological reserve. A lovely, active way to learn more about the beautiful city of Buenos Aires.
We had an excellent guide, Lucy. She was knowledgeable and engaging. She took the time to learn our interests and tailored the tour accordingly. We highly recommend the tour and Lucy. Thanks for a great day!!
The bike tour with our guide Julian is absolutely recommended. Julian taught us a lot about Buenos Aires in exceptionally good English, which made us fall in love with this city. Thank you very much for this great bike tour.
