Tour guide was very knowledgeable and the bike ride was a very casual ride. Only at one point was there a bit of a climb up a hill. I would recommend being somewhat confident on a bike. At certain points on the tour, we were off the bike paths and on the actual roadways. Having the ability to look around at the traffic while keeping your bike in a straight line improves your safety. The ride is all done in single file, but be careful when simply following the person in front of you at road intersections. A traffic light can change mid-group and you don't want to get stuck in the middle of moving traffic. (Basic common sense but worth noting)

We had a great time, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time.

Great tour - outstanding way to see the town ; be sure to confirm the exact meeting location ahead of time

Had a great time, hadn't been on a bike for 50+ years, the guide was very patient with both my husband and I and we got a wonderful tour of this part of the city.

Buenos Aires is not a friendly town in itself, the less a bicycle friendly town. The bicycle lanes are very short, you mostly ride in the street and when you get to the crowded ones it gets a bit scary.

Great tour! Saw a lot at a good pace. Mark was an excellent guide. The bike lanes are relatively new, so keep that in mind...

What a great way to explore the city! Our guide was very informative friendly and patience, thanks Barbara!

The tour guide was excellent. The bikes need serious repair or replacement. This is a busy city with a lot of traffic and congestion. Some but not many bike paths. Must be a fairly brave and determined biker to take in the sites and avoid getting hit by a car, truck or the many scooters.

Let us see places that we went back to.

Great way to see BA. Adam was a nice tour guide. It's a long tour.. A full 4 hours on a bike, all relatively flat except a little hill to get up to the cemetery in recoleta. The bikes were very old and uncomfortable and not all had baskets to hold your belongings. So they made the tour difficult.

Wonderful way to see the city. Very nice guide! I strongly recommend!

This was fun! It is great introduction to this nice, rich and clean part of the BA. Wide strests with trees, rose gardens and history lesson of Argentina from our tour guide. Because it was Sunday we saw Zombie Parade for Haloween, bicycle festival and market with tango dancers in front of Recoleta.

What a great way to see the city! Our guides were perfect and knew their information very well. They took us at the perfect pace (not too fast, but not too slow) and we saw so many places that, on foot, we could not possibly have covered in 2 days. I couldn't recommend this trip enough.

Excellent tour. The guide was very informative. I did this tour on a Sunday and as a result got to see a lot of markets. It also makes it easier to ride as less cars. The highlight was one of the last stops the Recoletas cemetery. Bikes are basic but the entire ride is on the flat so very easy.

A great way to see BA a little off the beaten path and get some exercise at the same time. We took this in late fall so it was just the two of us and our guide.
