Buenos Aires Bike Tour: San Telmo And La Boca Districts

Great way to see this part of the city. Really enjoyed it. Lots of sites culture and history. Felt very safe

Great tour with a great guide ( Nestor ), he shared very interesting information, our kids ( 15,13 ) and us absolutely loved it, definitely recommend it.

We learned so much from our tour guide, Flo. We biked all over the southern part of BA. She's super knowledgeable and was just excellent!

We were well taken Care of by Barbie, who tooks ud through San Telmo and La Boca. I was a bit overheated during the tour, but Barbie was really good at checking in. A really good way to see the city, if you don’t have that many days.

Ride was mostly along trails which felt safe and well planned. Our guide was engaged and had shared her knowledge and some history of Buenos Aires. A great way to start your visit to the city to get your bearings and learn some important info (like don’t visit Boca in the evenings). The ride through the preserve was dusty and “meh” as not much in the way of wildlife you can see.

Our small group tour (4 riders plus the guide) had a glorious summer day's ride on the South Side. Its one of the best ways to see BA (or any city) up close. Our guide (apologies for not recalling her name) was really personable and knowledgeable so it was a fine learning experience as well. The bikes were in good condition and the riding fairly easy, mostly flat and only a limited amount in traffic (BA has lots of bike lanes). We are in our 60's, not athletic, and it was fun and easy.

Great afternoon trip. La Boca district was my favourite part, so colourful and lively. Streets filled with artists, dancers, food and music. Cycling was easy and safe. Very efficient way to see a lot of areas quickly. Our tour guide, Nestor was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. Worth doing!!

Barbie was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and passionate about buenos aires. She took care of our safety. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

We had a nice tour with many information and fun facts about the city and our guide Marina was very nice and could answer all the questions. All in all very recommendable!

So I will start with the positive: we had a friendly informative guide and were able to cover a lot of ground in a short time. I feel like I got a general appreciation for BA. The drawback is that you are weaving in and out of traffic, which was downright scary.

Had a great guide and really enjoyed my bike tour! Its quite flat, we saw a lot of the city, and I enjoyed learning about lots of history.

<p>It was dangerous. We were weaving in and out of very heavy rush hour traffic, and our bikes broke down along the way, although the guide was able to fix them up pretty quick. I'd still recommend this trip but I'd advise doing it during a time of day when the roads and sidewalks are less crowded.</p>

<p>Although the tour was quite interesting, it did have some major problems. First, the English-speaking guide<br/> did not speak loudly enough to be heard above the surrounding noises. Secondly, the bike route was quite <br/> dangerous at times between the traffic and construction.I would recommend the tour, but ONLY if the participants<br/> are comfortable riding on rough streets in a great deal of traffic.</p>

<p>Great value. The 3 hour tour was relaxed and covered some of the main tourist spots plus the eco park which was a first for me. Great tour guide plus I was the only participant so went at my pace. Flat roads and no hills. A couple of difficult roads with unfriendly traffic. Bike are a simple fixed wheel city type bike with basket and comfortable padded seat. Helmet provided.</p>

We booked this trip only one day in advance... no one showed up! the travel agency was closed with a note on the door to wait which we did. No one answered our calls. No way to complain except give a bad review! Totally ripped off.

<p>Highly recommended! We are two 70 year olds who have never biked in traffic so we were a little apprehensive about this trip but it was a highlight of our time in the city. A wonderful variety of stops and we learnt so much about the history of the south.</p>

What a fantastic tour! Our bike tour was the highlight of our period in BA, such a great experience! Very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, he gave us a real feel of a local. If you are in BA and would like to have a proper local experience you should definitely go on this tour! Highly recommend it!

<p>Bike ride gives you a very different perspective than a tour bus. We thoroughly enjoyed the bike ride tour. Much more verbal explanation of area and you can stop and explore, too. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour but the guide still took us everywhere on the tour. The ride was on level ground and very easy to do.</p>

<p>Very fun time and a great way to see BA and get in some exercise as well! I hadn't rode a bike in maybe 20 plus years, but it was the best and the group of guides were some nice guy's! I love BA and the great people and this tour as well! Fun times!</p>

<p>Our guide was a cool guy and we liked our bike trip a lot. There was a time to make some pictures and everything went super well even if this was a time of a big football game in Buenos :<br/> Everything was on time, guide had a big knowlenge, we had fun</p>

<p>Enjoyed this activity very much.Our guide was lovely and helpful but I could not always understand his explanations.His English needs some work.The bikes were good.</p>

<p>Loved this tour, was a bit worried about riding a bike in the Buenos Aires traffic but the guide controlled everything very well. A great way to see the city.</p>

<p>I enjoyed the cycling and we covered a lot more ground than is possible walking - it took in La Boca and also the port area and the lagoons for example and we stopped in La Boca for 20 minutes to look around. A lot of it was on dedicated cycle lanes or through parks. Our guide did his best with providing English commentary but unfortunately I found his voice a little hard to follow and the stops seemed slightly too long as a result, but overall the trip was worthwhile.</p>

<p>Guide was lovely, and I got to see some interesting parts of the city</p>

<p>awesome.. easy way to get around and see the other parts of town</p>

<p>Definatly a great way to get introduced to the city and some exercise at the same time .</p>

<p>this was and easy and rewarding tour. was great fun to bicycle through BA and see so many things. my guide Romina was great. gave us a lot of info and insight. she also made the biking safe and easy by picking special routes.</p>

<p>We loved this tour! A wonderful way to see La Boca, San Telmo, Puerto Madero, Costanera del Sur, and Plaza de Mayo. Our guide Valentina was very friendly and knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. Highly recommended!</p>

<p>Very enjoyable bike ride. Area is fairly flat so ride was very easy. Excellent tour guide. So much better than a bus tour.</p>

<p>The bike ride was something special and a lot of fun. The tour guide did a really good job at explaining historical aspects and monuments throughout BA! I hadn't rode a bike in 30 plus years, but the experience was the best and any one that does this tour should have a great time!</p>

<p>Very disappointing. Address listed was 3 miles from actual location......once we went to the address giv en when I called - we were then sent another 2 blocks from there. Tour was scheduled for 2 PM. Guide forgot that she was scheduled for a tour that day so did not show up until 3PM to start the tour.</p>

<p>Really good tour. Great local guide, Leo, who had very good knowledge of the areas we visited. We covered approximately 15km in the four hours, the cycling was at a steady pace and as long as you keep up with the group the traffic isn't a problem. There is one short uphill section, other than that mainly flat with a few cobblestones! I found it a great way to see the areas, good if you're short on time as you can cover a greater distance more easily than on foot.</p>

<p>Leo, the tour guide, was very entertaining and keen to give us as many facts and figures and anecdotes as possible. Great tour ! Will totally recommend it to my friends.</p>

<p>Two interesting districts to visit and suited to bike touring. The guide was very knowledgeable, had very good English and was personable. The bike was a bit heavy and had clunky brakes which took a bit of getting used to. Nevertheless I would recommend the tour - I enjoyed it a lot.</p>

<p>this is a great way to see a new city. Lots of fun and very safe. Our tour guide Alex was very good.</p>

<p>Waited for over an hour before the tour started which was quite annoying but once it got going it was a really interesting trip which took in a lot of the main sights of the city, a lot of the tour is on road so you need to be a confident cyclist. Guide very friendly and informative.</p>

<p>Very enjoyable way to explore the city. Good way to learn more about specific areas. Guide was very knowledgeable with excellent English language skills and very good sense of humour. Very interesting tour.</p>

<p>The Tour was very good - le boca is amazing - worth doing</p>

<p>A great, fun way to get to see some of this beautiful city and our guide had loads of information regarding the history of the area.</p>

<p>Tour was excellent! Such a fantastic way to see the city - more efficient than a walking tour but more fun than a bus, and allows you to really get into the communities rather than observing from a distance. Would highly recommend!</p>

<p>This bike tour was sensational. It was great to get in there amongst the real Buenos Aires under the guidance of a local. Our guide , whose name unfortunately escapes me right now, was interesting, knowledgeable and gave us useful tips on safety and places to go. We would definitely recommend this tour.</p>

<p>Tour provides good coverage of BA, but may actually be tricky for unconfident cyclists or people not used to cycling on public streets in general. The guide (Nico) was responsible and took care in guiding us around the streets of BA.</p>

<p>It was such a fantastic way to see Buenos Aires. I only had the weekend there and if I hadn't taken the bike tour wouldn't have seen half the things I was able to see or learn so much about the city and the history of the place. Bernard was the perfect guide, fun and smart and very knowledgeable. Thank you - highly recommended.</p>

<p>We enjoyed our trip but thought it was quite hazardous for our group which spent a lot of time in very heavy traffic and riding down very crowded walking streets.<br/> The guide was very knowledgeable and we saw everything we planned and more.<br/> Our group consisted of about 10 people and riding in single file there were several occasons where the last few people in the group would miss lights and were left stranded. The guide often noticed this and would wait with the group on the other side of the road. I am unsure as to remedy this apart from limiting the the size of the group and mentioning in your flyers that ts tour is not for inexperienced cyclists. Hope this helps. Regards William</p>

<p>Again the best way to see Buenos Aires, Ezequiel my guide very knowledgeable and friendly, loved it!</p>

<p>Our guide Nicholas was fantastic. He was very knowledgable about the area, spoke wonderful English, and had a good sense of humour. <br/> I would highly recommend this tour.</p>

<p>This was an outstanding way to spend a day. Loved it, best excursion we did on the entire cape horn cruise.</p> <p>Guide was a kind young man, I recommend this for anyone.</p>

<p>Enjoyed the ride. Great way to see that part of BA. We are fairly inexperienced riders but had no trouble. Barbara was a very knowledgeable guide.</p>

<p>This bike tour of San Telmo and La Boca was everything I had hoped it to be ... a casual cycle through two of Buenos Aires most popular neighbourhoods. As it turned out, I was the only one on the tour so had the guide to myself. The guide was on time and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour.</p>
