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.

As an English speaking tourist, you do get a modified version of the tour.

As an English speaking person, knowing very little Spanish, I always felt that I was receiving the shortened version.

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.

HIGHLY recommend this tour! Loved our guides! We liked the bike tour so much we ended up booking an extra one through the company itself..

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.

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!

A MUST DO!

Review by: Sarah W	February 2011
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!!)

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.

North Tour was rushed and missed a lot of the key locations. South Tour was fantastic.

Review by: Kathleen S	December 2010
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.

Superb guides...really saw the city and felt part of the pace and streetlife

Review by: Jeremy W, United States of America	April 2010
Very well organized and a lot of good sites to see. Would have enjoyed a bit more time at La Boca but we covered a lot of ground so it is understandable. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable as well.

Review by: June D, Canada	February 2010
Would recommend the bike trip; however, be aware of temperature and the fact that you will be biking on grass, rough roads and cobblestones - not the most comfortable ride. Great way to see the city and some of the areas you don't explore by car.

Great!

Review by: Michael N, Australia	July 2009
Should have been the opportunity to combine both North and South tours on the same day. Bad organization and planning. Tour was otherwise good.

Review by: Inga C, United States of America	March 2009
I wish I did both the North and the South tours but the North one was great! Would do it again any day.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	March 2009
I had a great time and great exercise with the bike tour. The guide was very helpful explaining the sites, statues, etc. I was lucky in that there were only two participants including myself, so the atmosphere was personal and I was able to ask all the questions without worrying about taking too much time of others. I initially signed up for Fri, but due to my change of trip schedule, I had to call on the day I was supposed to join to postpone my tour. They were pleasantly able to change my tour date! The only reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 4 is the price - it was a bit expensive for the time, 4 hrs, but I guess it also includes insurance for us and the bicycle. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you are there by yourself. If you are pretty sedentary, you may get tired, but Buenos Aires is pretty a flat city, so there are minimal slopes, etc. I'd recommend that you wear comfortable shoes and outfit. Lastly, don't skip breakfast or lunch before you join, because by the time the tour is over, you will be very very hungry! And of course, sunblock is a must. My hands and butt got quite dirty. I only realized after I got back to the hotel, so you may want to carry a pack.

I will definitely do this bicycle tour again. We had an excellent guide and you really see and feel the city.

This was an excellent tour and very good value for money. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and the pace of the cycling was just right. By far the best way to see the city and one of the highlights of our trip.

Review by: Jay C, United States of America	November 2007
One of the best travel experiences of my life! Our guide was amazing - so knowledgeable, so friendly and he took great care of us along the way. We drank mate, sat in the park and relaxed, and biked like crazy throughout the north part of the city. However, a promised picnic lunch was not provided.

Review by: Margaret M, Australia	October 2007
This is a wonderful way to see Buenos Aires! The guide was well informed, pleasant and very patient with two mature Australian ladies. This is a great safe way to see the south side of the city.

Review by: Melvyn R, United States of America	May 2007
A great way to see Buenos Aires, it's an easily cyclable city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating for any wishes.

Our tour guides were great. One of the best trips I took while in Buenos Aires.

Review by: Hazel D, United Kingdom	January 2007
We loved the trip! The guide gave us the tour we wanted with lots of information to help us get a feel of this beautiful city. We must return.
