Buenos Aires Bike Tour: North Districts, Recoleta And Palermo

Great experience and yes an experience not just a bike tour Loved we were off main roads and learned so much about the locals. Pace was perfect and bike were good. Julian knows his stuff and easy to understand.

Got a nice tour of north part of Buenos Aires. Saw great sites. Tour guide did awonderful job. Most on bike path, but you will have to also navigate cobblestone streets too.

Amazing day tour! It’s a must if you visit Buenos Aires as this will take you many places to see and enjoy fast. Great tourist guide!

Our tour with Barbie was fantastic we learned so much about Buenos Aires and was the perfect intro to the city on our first day!

It was a great long bike ride and the guide was nice, but there was very little information given along the way and we saw so many things of interest that could have been talked about. We still really enjoyed the ride and got ideas of places where we want to return during our stay. It was a great way to start the trip.

As others have commented: lots of riding but very little information or story. Thankfully, I like riding. We went on this after seeing a similar group the day before being shown the Monument Tower. That org was booked up for our afternoon, and they mentioned Bicicletta Naranja as an alternative. Bikes were ok. Guide was pleasant and might have been knowledgeable. We stopped about five times, maybe six in more than three hours. Most were for short, two minute, explanations. Two stops were much longer, where we'd be 'free' while guide looked after the bikes: 20 minutes in a park to view a rose garden. The other two customers went to see. We sat around. And 15 minutes to view the grave of Eva Peron. Other two had seen that, and were told they were 'free' to do as they liked. It was all just a bit lame. Five or six tiny explanations of things seen. I'm no better aware of the story of Argentina or Buenos Aires or anything than I was before. No doubt - judging by other management replies - this'll get a similar "we're sorry you feel that way..." but truth is this just not a good product/experience. Too lightweight, little substance. They really need to up their game. And now I find out (on here), I've been massively overcharged too :-(

Do not waste your time. We booked an English-speaking tour - but, even as a native English speaker, I was unable to understand him - and we were not the only ones. The other native English speakers on the trip kept asking me if I knew what he had said. The tour says you will hit certain landmarks in approximately 3 to 3.5 hours. We did not hit a SINGLE one of the big attractions in the 3.5 hour period - we did not see Recoleta Cemetery, Casa Rosada, Buenos Aires Zoo, the Botanical Garden, or several other promised sites. The staff is also rude and unprofessional. I got a nasty email three days before my scheduled tour saying that I had missed the tour (they had the wrong date), and despite numerous requests for help with my helmet, the guide ignored me altogether. When I contacted the tour company to express my concerns, they made up a story about a conversation I allegedly had at the beginning of the tour, during which I said that I was "tired." This conversation never, ever happened. This was - by far - the worst experience we had in Buenos Aires and the worst experience I've ever had with a tour company on Viator.

I booked a tour at the last minute (day before) hoping to squeeze in a sightseeing tour on my work trip after I arrived in BA and before my meetings started the following day. Unfortunately, immigration took so long that I didn't have time to get to my hotel and then also to the tour. I would have been 15 min late to the tour. I did not expect a refund as it was not their fault but they kindly and surprisingly gave me one - shows they are an honorable company and I hope to join them in the future if my work or personal travels bring me back to BA. thank you kindly!

We had a good tour of the bicycle paths and parks of Buenos Aires. There was a guide in the front and one at the back trying to keep us safe in the traffic. Unfortunately there was no guiding while cycling and stops were mostly in nice parks. We cycled for 3.5 hours and did cover a lot of ground but if you are looking for lots of information this is not the best tour. If you are looking to have an afternoon ride through Buenos Aires often on bike paths then go for it.

We did a 3 hour afternoon cycle tour and were lucky with just three of us in the group. Being a Sunday meant there was far less traffic and we were also lucky to have a clear sunny day. Easy flat cycling and a great way to see the major landmarks. Would highly recommended.

you'llenjoy the city of Buenosaires! But also be tired,because bike is very tough to run fast. a little rest & traffic war is dengerous. Staff is good.

Knowing how big of a city Buenos Aires is and having limited time, this really made our trip. We lucked out with Néstor being our tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable and personable as well. Rita was helpful as well. If you’re looking for a great way to see the sights and get some exercise, this is for you.

This was the best thing we did in the city. Our tour guide, Anna Julia, was the best!! She was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot . Riding thru the traffic was a little scary for my daughter, but I felt completely safe with Anna Julia's guidance. I DEFINITELY recommend this tour!

Great exercise and a wonderful way to see parts of Buenos Aires. You do need to be careful about traffic, especially the buses and taxis.

<p>I am a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 12 and 14. 20 km ride over 3.5 hours was very enjoyable and we saw the city from a different perspective. Cycles were not perfect but very functional and well maintained. Very flat route so at an average speed of only about 6 kmh, it was not taxing at all. The guides did a good job stopping traffic and keeping us safe. We do this at every city we visit and it always rates highly in our memories.</p>

<p>We had fun on this tour and saw a lot of Buenos Aires, but with a small group of only 5 riders our guide still did not manage to keep the group together. Instead of waiting for everyone to cross busy streets together, she would cross on a green light and often leave 2 or 3 people who would get caught in a red light. At one point three of us lost her in the traffic and could not see which street she rode down. Although we were told we would be riding primarily in bike safe areas, for the last 20 or 25 minutes we were riding in serious rush hour traffic with cars, buses, taxis, without benefit of bike lanes. Some of the bike helmets were missing the adjustable pieces and could not be properly fitted. That said, we saw a lot and had interesting stops, but riding in very heavy traffic at the end of the day was dangerous.</p>

<p>We thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour. Only one easy hill in the whole trip. We cycled with another couple and had a lady tour leader with a lad following us. It was a red hot day, but we went at a gentle pace with lots of stops at various points of interest. This is a great way to see many of the interesting sights of Buenos Aires. Most is on bike lanes, so don't worry about the traffic.</p>

<p>There’s the sightseeing, which was wonderful, and then there was the challenge of riding a bicycle on narrow lanes with zooming traffic and bouncing on cobblestone roads in the old part of town. The memory will stick with you. Palermo and Recoleta have wide open spaces for easy riding, beautiful!</p>

<p>Great way to see the city! The sites are amazing and our guide spoke english quite well!</p>

<p>I was fortunate enough that it was just me, so was really able to go at my own pace. The guide was very informative and had a ton of knowledge on the history of Buenos Aires. Most of the tour stuck to a bike path, there were a few parts that would've been trickier for larger groups. I can definitely recommend this.</p>

<p>Lots of traffic and rushed. Guide had a schedule to keep. Other tours provide small snack or drink other than water. I felt there could have been more talking by the guide and some less famous sites included. Guide was nice but never bothered to ask our names. Overpriced for a basic ride.</p>

<p>This was awesome. My brother and I were the only ones who signed up for that time slot, so the tour guide took us all over the place.</p>

<p>It was nice to bike around this beautiful city but our tour guide was awful. Not only was she totally indifferent but her English was extremely poor, she was uninformed and she lost us there were only four of us total in the tour. I would recommend biking around the city but not with this tour.</p>

<p>Lovely bike tour. Guide was excellent and very informative. A fun afternoon</p>

<p>It was very very good!! The guides were super! Learned a lot about Argentina.</p>

<p>Tour guide was excellent, however the bikes were a bit on the used/old side. If you require a bike with some comfort and gears, perhaps dig deep into the tour providers to see what they offer...</p>

<p>We loved our tour! Our guide Marcos was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and funny! He customized our trip to our preferences. He went above and beyond what we expected! Would recommend highly!</p>

<p>Many thanks to Alejandro our guide. The tour that include the north part of The city to Palermo was very informative and a complement to another tour taken in the morning south part of the city to Boca. so, we were able to see interesting sites.</p>

<p>This is a very enjoyable way to see the northern part of Buenos Aires. Alex, our guide, was super fun and light-hearted, cracking jokes in all the right places. He was very knowledgeable too! :</p>

<p>The tour guide Romania was absolutely amazing. She has a wealth of knowledge that she dispersed of easily and at the same time so interesting. Pleasant route to bike ride not too overwhelming. Definitely a must to with Romania!</p>

<p>Alejo Alex our tour guide was EXCELLENT! He gave us some interesting historical facts and really made it interesting...I would highly recommend this tour, the areas of Palermo and Recoleta are very beautiful!</p>

<p>My son and I enjoyed our bike tour very much with Ezekiel. We learned a lot of history about Argentina. It was just the two of us, so very easy to ask questions and he was more than happy to answer.</p>

<p>We really enjoyed the tour. Ezekial was very informative and fun. Would recommend this tour to get a good feel for the city.</p>

<p>A must do FIRST! you get a feel for the city and learn a little history.We signed up for two but my wife couldn't make the second one, so she laments that fact.This is one HUGE City.!! You'll have fun.!</p>

<p>Our tour guide Alex was amazing! Really made sure we were safe biking and gave some great insight into the history and political climate of Buenos Aires. Learnt a ton about the city and had a great day biking and going through the cemetery.</p>

<p>Guide showed up after scheduled meeting time and then had us move to another nearby location, saying it was where we supposed to be. Tour took 4 hours 15 minutes at a slow, easy pace, with several stops to explore. Most of travel was on bike paths. Guide was okay with English. Guide showed everyone their nation's embassy.</p>

<p>Perfect guide...and the tour was very interesting..</p>

<p>Ezekiel guided us on a relaxed and Informative tour of two great neighbourhoods (8 Jan) way too large to explore on foot, and far cooler in the hot, humid summer, so excellent way to get a feel for a lovely part of Buenos Aires.</p>

<p>The tour guides did a great job. Even though the weather conditions they handled the situation extremely well. Although both were very young their knowledge of the city history was remarkable. Both deserved to be recognized by the management. Perhaps this is one of the best tour I ever experienced.</p>

<p>An enjoyable way to see parts of Buenos Aires. Iris was an informative guide who took us at a leisurely pace to several tourist attractions. The bikes were comfortable and water and a helmet were also provided.</p>

<p>Awesome! Great time to cover many areas and stops! Loved our guide Aires from the Netherlands!</p>

<p>What a great tour! There were 6 in our group ranging from 14-50 yrs of age. Alex was a wonderful guide -- so full of knowledge about history and current events, funny and witty! The main streets were a little harrowing with the busy, busy traffic, but Alex maneuvered our group around the city in a safe manner and at a great pace. The riding was mostly on flat terrain with one uphill stretch at the end.</p>

<p>The guides were lovely and very knowledgable. The bikes were in poor condition though, a chain kept coming off one and another had a puncture. I also didn't feel very safe in the city traffic.</p>

<p>This is a great way to see Recoleta and Pelermo's significant sites. The tour guide was really knowledgeable and we could chat about different historical, cultural and societal moments. The bike paths are safe, some need a few repairs, and the ride through the famous parks is a must.</p>

<p>Great tour. Good opportunity for exercise. Dress for the weather as in June/July you may need gloves. Marcus was an excellent guide who spoke English very well.</p>

<p>Our tour guide was so informative, we learned a lot about various aspects of the beautiful city of BA. Beautiful scenery, nice bike paths and bike lanes on the busier roads.</p>

<p>Loved this tour, Alex the guide very friendly, informative and great sense of hum out. Best way to see Buenos Aires at ground level with the locals, highly recommend.</p>

<p>A nice way to spend a comfortable 3-4 hours seeing the 'suburban' B.A. (mostly Racoleta and Palmero). Flat, easy pedalling. Our guide was excellent.... only problem, the details of where to meet in front of a restaurant are very poor and inaccurate... the personel in the restaurant new nothing of the bike tour and directed us to the monument in the centre of the square... had to ask a stranger for help. He called the tour office and sent<br/> someone to get us.... bikes quite a bit out of date but adequate. Still was a fun experience.</p>

<p>Excellent, very good. I will always try and do a bike tour when I arrive in a new city from now on.</p>
