It amazing tour the city...
Joyceline_d, Apr 2024
It amazing tour the city on a bicycle. We got a lot of information of our very knowledgeable guide. While touring the city our guide knew to tell us about life in Argentina. We enjoy how proud he is of his country and how much he knew!
It didn't happen
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.
Looks nice in ad. Reality, old, poor quality bikes. Not much to see on tour.
Ronald_P, Mar 2024
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.
Great tour! Best in BA yet.
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!
Highlight of our time in Buenos Aires

Great bike trip - you get to see things you wouldn’t on a typical city 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.

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.

This ride was a good stroll around the main parks of the city. The stops along the way were informative and fun. It was a little cold for the bike ride in June.

What a fun and informative bike-tour!
Gary_H, Feb 2023
What a fun and informative bike-tour throughout Recoleta and Palermo! I saw so many beautiful and amazing sites, and Vary was a delightful guide who paced it perfectly. It was neither rushed nor too slow. She gave a perfect balance of travel with stops along the way. Her delivery was clear and interesting, and I learned far more than I expected! Very enjoyable!
Response from Host, Feb 2023
