The bikes were very comfortable and the guide very friendly taking us to interesting sites, all the time sharing information. Was great fun experiencing all kinds of bike routes and unique locations. We loved this flexible exploration. Thankyou,
great tour. definitely the best way to see the city. felt like our guide was winging it a lot of the time though. tour really was only around 2 and a half hours total though so definitely not the full time it says.
Amazing! All the guides were personable easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. They took good care of us as they navigated us through the streets of BA.
Great tour. I missed the sunday because i got sick so i showed up the tuesday. They let me use my sunday voucher. Very nice people.
As an English speaking person, knowing very little Spanish, I always felt that I was receiving the shortened version.
As an English speaking tourist, you do get a modified version of the tour.
The bike trip to North BA was good. I was the only one that signed up so it was a private tour. Loved all the places we went to. David was a great tour guide. A little scary going through downtown on a bike...definitely thought I might get hit. Did not get the alfajores or mate as stipulated in the description of the tour. All and all it was a great morning.
I gave it three stars because we began the tour but then when it rained, the tour guide turned back. I understand this is possibly due to safety but we were happy to continue (myself and another couple). Long story short, we took the bikes ourselves without the guide and had a fantastic day (and it didn't rain at all after that one shower!!)
Our guide was excellent, and I really enjoyed the different parts of the city I got to see. The biking was easy and relaxing since the area is mostly flat. I highly recommend this tour!
HIGHLY recommend this tour! Argentina Bike Tours runs the tour and if you book through their site, it's about half the price! Loved our guides! We liked the bike tour so much we ended up booking an extra one through the company itself. Whatever you do, don't book through viator, much more expensive and no real service.

A MUST DO!
It was okay. There wasn't much time to make stops after visiting La Boca. Plus, they squeezed too many people in 1 tour that it made it unenjoyable. There was 22 people in one group. A lot of the people who were in the group had little experience riding a bike and so they'd cut people off as well. It was really frustrating.
The meeting place was not at the Museo de Armas like we were instructed but was instead accross the street by the statue if General San Martin on his horse. We missed the morning tour and had to reschedule with them the next day. We did both the morning and the afternoon tour. The South tour was Fantastic with a great guide who showed us many of the sites, including the cemetary. The North Tour took us around the city but the guides did not point out the sites and seemed in a hurry to get us back. We had read so much about the sites and had already taken the walking tour (Highly reccommend btw) so we knew more about what we were seeing than the guides were telling us and we ended up pointing out things to the others on the trip. (for example, we rode right past the Casa Miminina (sp?) and we asked the guide if we were going to stop and he said no. Then when we got to the circle in front of the Pink House the guides did not explain what the white hankerchiefs were that were painted around the circle or why they were there. We ended up telling the group we were with what they meant (silent protests by the mothers of the 30k+ people who whent missing) Bike tour was a great way to see a lot of the city and I would still do these tours again, just read up a bit on the history yourself so you know what you are seeing. It really was a nice way to see the city in detail.
North Tour was rushed and missed a lot of the key locations. South Tour was fantastic.
