Palermo Viejo is the old quarter of Buenos Aires’ largest barrio, Palermo. The old residential area is well worth visiting to stroll past grand buildings and gardens, and get a sense of the enclave’s increasing modishness as a current Buenos ...

This is a great way to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time. You should be an experienced bike rider as some of the ride is thru traffic, but most of it was on bike paths.

We enjoyed the Bike tour, although we were a little disappointed in that as it was a Sunday we were told we had to meet at the other end of the city, when we met the guide he took us back to the bike shop in a cab, which was a great waist of time?
I suggest the company rectify this situation?
Also part of the tour was on the roadway.
My Wife was not real confident about this.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
