“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.”
