The 15 Cycling Days in Buenos Aires That Earn Their Price

1.North or South Buenos Aires Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 719 reviews · 4 hours · from $38Our pick

Ride a comfortable cruiser bike through Buenos Aires with a bilingual guide such as Ana, Pilar, Santiago, or Florencia. Choose the South route for San Telmo, La Boca, Puerto Madero, and Plaza de Mayo, or the North route for Retiro, Recoleta, Palermo, and the city parks.

“The tour of the North was great! It understandably has more time spent cycling as we leave & return closer to the South, but we still had a good amount of time hearing the history of each spot and were also given time to wonder around Tres de Febrero Park. Our guide Ana was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She also adjusted to the abilities of our group very well. The North tour gives a good “taste” of the areas and definitely encourages you to go back to fully enjoy spots like Palermo and Recoleta.”

“Very bad. The guide was nice, but that's about it. The description on GYG is completely inaccurate. The bikes are of very poor quality; you're completely hunched over. I'm a fit 43-year-old man, but after 10 minutes everything hurts because you're completely hunched over. The guide speaks very poor English, so you barely understand what he says. Many parts that were supposed to be included in the tour weren't. We basically cycled around the city with someone who spoke a few words of English and stopped four times at "important" places. We didn't get any of the promised food tastings, etc. We didn't explore anything, just cycled past it. Worst…”

We spent 50 minutes waiting for the issues to get somewhat resolved so we could continue. The description stated that it included snacks, matte, and local food tasting, but it did not include any of these. Tour guide acknowledged these items where in the description but did not have the resources to provide such. In my opinion they should give a refund given the tour is…”
