About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- silviapF1426BT0 contributionsYou will experience a different side of Buenos Aires.It was an amazing experience on our last day in BA. Augustin is such a very nice guy and we had so much fun with him. We got a lot of information of another side of BA, not the typical tourist spots and he made our last day in BA a wonderful experience. Thank you very much for this!Written January 7, 2025
- Suzelle S0 contributionsPerfect combo bike tour!Well worth it! This tour is not just for football fans, it is a perfect combination of sightseeing, art and having fun! Our guide Agustìn was great! Highly recommended this tour!Written January 6, 2025
- VicTravelTime0 contributionsGreat bicycle TourTop Tour! Very friendly guide. We Recommend the Tour! La boca, Reservation Park, Cäsar rosado and more to see... Give it a tryWritten January 2, 2025
- Austinbasedtraveler0 contributionsFun bike tour with AgustinWe biked Buenos Aires for 3 hours on a warm December day with super knowledgeable guide Agustin (Chan). We were the only people on the tour. Learned a ton about Argentine history and culture and saw a huge swath of the city in a short time. The cruiser bikes are one speed and very stable. As a New York cyclist, only once was I a bit freaked out by car traffic around us. Would highly recommend!Written December 24, 2024
- 147heatherf0 contributionsUnique, educational street art tour!We had a wonderful tour. We learned a lot of information about murals, artist, Argentina culture and painting techniques. The tour also takes you off the beaten path.Written November 30, 2024
- Vicki L0 contributionsBest way to feel the city!Great experience to explore more of the city than on foot. I had a great afternoon with my guide Debe following the route of the South area of the city. Debe was very patient to share her knowledge about the cultural and history with me, which is exactly what I want along with the sightseeing. Highly recommend to give a try when you are in Buenos Aires!Written November 24, 2024
- junkdan160 contributionsGreat way to see the city!Toured with a small group of 6 around San Telmo, La Boca, and Puerto Madeira. The weather was beautiful (maybe a little hot) and as a result the streets (particularly in La Boca) were packed and we had to walk our bikes at times. Our amazing tour guide Lorraine was very knowledgeable not just about the places where we stopped but also lots of other interesting sites along the way. I ask a lot of questions and she always had the answers. Clearly she is passionate about her city and it is infectious. Bikes were just OK but it’s not the Tour de France and nothing was that strenuous. They also offer electric-assisted bikes if you need them. I would definitely take another one of these tours next time I’m in BA!Written November 11, 2024
- noortjep20150 contributionsNice and complete tour of BA southIt was a wonderful trip! Nestor gave us a good explination at each stop and he does it in a passionate way.

Lorraine was a great guide. She provided a very informative tour of public art, urban parks, and architecture in the northern areas of the city. We really appreciated her insights on the city's history and the status of sustainable transportation and cycling infrastructure along the way. The tour was well-paced and Lorraine was friendly and fun. We were very happy to take the tour and would recommend it.

We were very well served, via WhatsApp, to schedule the tour with the guide. It was a great way to get to know the city and with lots of information provided by our guide. The bike is simple, no marches, but working well. As the stretch is all flat, there was no problem. The journey is long, with a few stops at the main sights, three and a half hours of duration, we took great advantage.

Two of us booked on the southern tour of BA. The bikes are basic, with no gears but comfortable and as there are pretty much no hills in buenos aires, these are not required.
There were only two of us in the group and cathy was a great guide. She rode at a very manageable pace and was clear with directions, signalling for traffic to stop when necessary. Cathy spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable.
I must admit, I don't think buenos aires is the best set up for bike tours, but cycle lanes have only recently been created and some of the traffic shows little respect for cyclists.
Overall however it was enjoyable and a great way to see parts of the city we wouldn't otherwise have seen. We felt safe and it was nice to cycle round the ecological reserve and particularly into la boca and he stadium. There is plenty of time to take photos also and have a wander around. You are provided with a helmet and free water by the company.
We thoroughly enjoyed it and it was probably one of or favourite excursions. Not for everyone, but we would certainly recommend it.

Buenos Aires is flat, with lots to see and perfect for sightseeing on a bike. Sadly, I can't recommend this bicycle rental shop. I would suggest people keep well away from it.
I visited the store with three of my nephews with plans to rent bikes for half a day. We are Argentine nationals and know the city well so had no need for a guided tour. The bikes were in pretty bad shape but I was hopeful we would be able to manage without too much trouble. About forty-five minutes into our ride through the Reserva Ecologica, one of the bike's chains began to slip off requiring us to turn it upside down, get it unstuck...etc. It took us about an hour and a half to ride back to the store during which time the chain came off another nine or 10 times. While the woman who had rented the bicycles agreed to replace the broken bike, she kept telling us this was a routine occurrence and refused to accept the store bore any responsibility for the poor maintenance of the bike. She resisted any suggestion that we should be compensated with an additional hour for the time we had lost. At one point she became very agitated and refused to rent any bicycles to us whatsoever. It was a very disagreeable experience and I recommend everyone keep well away from the place.

Five or so years ago I took a bike tour like this one and thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommended doing this to my friends and promised there would be minimal riding on streets, 95% bike lanes. Turns out there is construction everywhere and we spent 60% of our time on streets riding with fast moving traffic. It was a frightening experience, especially in an unknown city. Our leader, Julia Anna, would take off fast from each stop, and fail to look back. Several times I got caught at a red light and could not cross with others. Since she never checked, I was left behind to catch up. With only 5 riders on the tour, she managed to lose 3 of us, going through an area so crowded it was difficult to maneuver the bikes. We simply waited for her to come back for us as we didn't know where to go! While fun to see the city, I found myself getting upset at her lack of concern. Finally, our last stop, Recoleta Cemetery, we were given 15 minutes and told Eva Peron's grave site was somewhere in the rear left. We were never able to find it! I had seen it on my prior visit, but felt bad for my friends who never had. I read about another tour that had a 30 minute break there and guide took them to the site. Clearly should have taken that tour. The final straw was our ride back to the bike shop, all in rush hour traffic, in the lanes with cars, moving fast and honking at us! By the time we got there, I was thoroughly disgusted.
I know they can't do anything about construction except find the best alternate route. However, it seems this company chose the worst alternate route. Unfortunately, since Trip Advisor bought Viator, it seems that if you are not careful, they assign a company and it is not clear what you've got. I would never go with this company again. I believe last time was with BA Bikes and a wonderful tour, but I would check with all on route time not in bike lanes due to construction.

We have had some excellent bike tours, both in terms of equipment and the cycling/sightseeing experience, in Siem Reap, Cambodia, Thailand fishing villages and Amsterdam. In comparison, our experience here was dismal. Here's why.
Located on a quiet street, La Bicicleta Naranja looked run down and a cursory examination of their equipment was confirmatory. The elderly man running the store was about as run down as his bicycles and similarly interested in our needs. We sorted through the dilapidated inventory until we found bikes that fit as best as possible which, in my case, was not. In addition, on this urban biking experience. THERE WERE NO HELMETS!
Our private guide who had given us a van tour and who was an avid cyclist stayed on as our guide: she was wonderful, so this is not about her. Of my family of four, three of us are extremely fit and regular cyclists while the fourth is merely fit.
In addition to my poor fitting bike and the discomfort it brought, there is the fact that I do not think Buenos Aires is meant for touring by bike: it is too big and the urban attractions do not lend themselves for a visual bike-by. We would have been better off staying on our van, covering ground more quickly, thereby leaving more time for sights worth seeing, such as the Recoleta Cemetery. On the other hand, the we traveled surprisingly bike-friendly streets and, at all times, felt safe.
We were relieved when the tour came to an end. If you are really committed to the idea of a bike tour of Buenos Aires, find another rental shop and make sure you have a clear agenda of what you want and that your guide can deliver.
Good luck.

Vary friendly and welcoming. I found the bike rental place by accident waking around and went in. The woman I spoke to was fluent in Spanish, English and German and helped me to choose a tour to La Boca. The tour was fun and the guide was knowledgeable about the area and let me stop to take photos when I wanted to and I got a great review of Buenos Aires.
The next day I went back to rent a bike on my own and reccomend it as a way to see Buenos Aires in a different light. the traffic is not for the timid though. While there are designated bike lanes on some streets.. there are not prolific through the city.
All in all a good value. Both the tour and the solo rental.
