We value personable service and true exploration by uniquely combining biking, walking and relaxing with typical food and drinks (Yerba Maté, Parrilla, Alfajores). Our Parks & Plazas Signature Tour leads you through the "lung of the city" passing beautiful green spaces designed by landscape architect Charles Thays. Visit Eva Duarte's final resting place and many other famous historical figures in the Recoleta Cemetery. On our Heart of the City Tour, we reveal where BA was founded (twice) highlighting the "heart of the city" - Plaza de Mayo. Visit the famous futbol club (La Boca Juniors) stadium, appreciate live tango in Plaza Dorrego (San Telmo), breathe in nature as you pedal through the Ecological Reserve and treat your appetite to a delicious Bondiola (pork sandwich) personally topped with all things delicious. The BA Ultimate Tour is the best way to see and do everything in one day strategically combining the first two tours while adding Plaza San Martin (Retiro) and Plaza Congreso. Sundays we team up with Graffitimundo navigating backstreets to unveil hidden street art that BA is notorious for. Every guide is super knowledgeable, friendly and excited to show you the theater that is Buenos Aires, Argentina. We look forward to meeting you and enhancing your BA experience! « less

“Heart of the City Tour is a Definite Highlight”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2012

After a rocky and disasterous start to my visit to Buenos Aires, I decided to take a chance on the Biking Buenos Aires tour which I had seen recommended here on Tripadvisor. Payment is easy, straightforward, and safe as I paid via Paypal using a credit card for a discount. In return, I got use of a bike helmet, bike... More

We're in the midst of a stay in Buenos Aires, calling the El Duque hotel in Palermo Soho home. Yesterday we walked around the areas surrounding our hotel and were mostly unimpressed with Buenos Aires. Today we took the Ultimate Tour and, wow, we now realize that even 4-5 hours of walking yesterday wasn't close to exposing us to a... More

Karri is one of our best! All of our guides have access to unlimited information sources and study guides and focus on providing the best quality service possible. As for the water bottles, we got new ones! Our only reason for not providing sealed water bottles comes from our eco-tourism standpoint which is also why our tour follow-up/handout at the... More

“The best way to experience the city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2012

A biking company not like any others. No rush, lovely lunch included from one of the charming parillas, and a clever guide. We were a very small group, so it ended up to be like a private tour, so go on a weekday! They also brought water. More

Nice tip! Yes, weekends typically end up having decent size groups, but we never book more than 10 people in one tour, unless it's a private group tour. More

“Great Biking Tour in Buenos Aires”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2012

It was our thirth day in BA, but we want to see more about the city in a short time. A biking tour is the best option, because you can stop and take some pictures! Biking Buenos Aires is great because it's more then just a biking tour. They show us typical Argentina things; like drinking a Mate, eating a... More

The bike ride we took went through the richest and most historical parts of Buenos Aires. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of our questions. Buenos Aires is fairly flat and the ride was easy even for a twenty year smoker. I left the ride wanting to do it over again More

Biking in Buenos Aires is addicting for sure! Just out of curiosity, what could we have done to make this a 5 star experience for you? Please email us at info@bikingbuenosaires.com since I don't believe there is a reply option here on TripAdvisor. Thanks for the review! More

I've lived in Buenos Aires for almost a year - and thought I knew the city inside out. Apparently not! The full-city bike tour not only let me see the city from a whole new - and really fun - perspective, but the friendly and knowledgable guides took us to amazing places I'd never been to before, and never even...

“Excellent way to see the city. You get the most bang for your buck!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2011

We had a terrifc time with Karri, our Finnish guide. He was really fun and knowledgeable as well as safe & cautious on the road. We were skeptical of how biking in this city would be, but we did the barrio norte parks & plazas tour and were either on sidewalks, parks, or bike lanes 95% of the time. It... More

Thank you for proving once again that biking Buenos Aires is the best way to see more in less time. Since there is so much to experience in this city, we know it’s difficult to balance what to do and when to do it. That is why we always follow up with great insider recommendations of how to have the... More

Fantastic tour! Guides were knowledgeable and super-friendly and obviously passionate about what they were doing. We did the full City Tour with a decent sized group of 12. I was very impressed with how well they managed a group of this size. They had three guides to nine guests and kept us safe and rounded up, without treating us like... More

What a fun tour! As you mentioned, bigger groups are a bit more difficult to manage but that is why we take our time and never take unnecessary risks. Luckily we had such great company, beautiful weather and good food and drinks to keep us energized. Hope to have you biking Buenos Aires with us again soon! More

We first went on the Grafittimundo bike tour and had a great experience, so we went on the Heart of the City tour. I was hesitant to do any bike tours at first because of the traffic, but I'm so glad we did. There are bike lanes all over Buenos Aires so you are protected and the tour guides are... More

Glad you got a good taste of both city and theme tours! We are very fortunate to have these crucial bike lanes separating us from traffic, yet street riding is also an important aspect, seeing key parts of the city that bike lanes don’t get to. Hope to see you again in the near future! Please feel free to leave... More
