Excellent bike tour with a friendly guide
Debora was a delight. Such a lovely lady, full of positive energy and loves to stop and chat to people as we went around the city. Nice to see Buenos Aires from a 2 wheeled perspective and I would thoroughly recommend this tour! Gracias Debora and all the best for the future! ☺️

Excellent bike tour in Buenos Aires
We had an excellent bike tour in Buenos Aires with Raymond. He was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive throughout the ride, and we felt comfortable and looked after at all times. What we appreciated most was the way he explained the history and background in detail at each tourist spot. The tour was not only fun, but also really informative—Raymond made the sights come alive with engaging stories. We highly recommend this tour and especially Raymond to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Sunday cycle in beautiful Buenos Aires
Raymond has an in-depth knowledge of the culture history & politics and passion for his adopted city Buenos Aires having moved there from NZ. We cycled the city for 25kms on a Sunday which was ideal as very few cars in the city, and BA has a great infrastructure for cycling. Highly recommend!

Excellent bike tour in Buenos Aires
We did the full day (7 hour) bike tour with Bikingbuenosaires. It was great! The riding was easy at a relaxed pace - about 25 km over the 7 hours. The best thing about the tour was our guide Pablo . He was very interesting, and told us a lot about Buenos Aires and Argentina, including history, politics, architecture, sports and daily life. We saw a wide variety of things and areas which kept the tour interesting. As we did this on the public holiday, Pablo organised Locro for lunch for us which was an authentic Argentinian experience. We now have a much better understanding and appreciation of this lovely city. Thanks 🙏
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for mentioning PBLO! We'll make sure he see this. Our guides are the reason people come back — they know Buenos Aires inside out, they keep the ride safe, and they make it feel personal. That's not easy to find in a bike tour and we work hard to keep that standard. Really glad you had such a good time.

Great friendly and...
Great friendly and knowledgeable guide. Got to cover a lot of ground and included a nice surprise of tasting Mate. I don't give 5 stars simply because I felt I was missing the perspective of a local guide. Jackson knew his subject very well but as someone who is living for 12 years in Argentina, I felt (rightly or wrongly) that I was not getting a true "native" viewpoint having lived through the various challenges that Argentina faces.

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
BA - FD Bike Tour with Lunch: South, North & City Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does BA - FD Bike Tour with Lunch: South, North & City Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does BA - FD Bike Tour with Lunch: South, North & City Highlights take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.
Is BA - FD Bike Tour with Lunch: South, North & City Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 226 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule BA - FD Bike Tour with Lunch: South, North & City Highlights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is BA - FD Bike Tour with Lunch: South, North & City Highlights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book BA - FD Bike Tour with Lunch: South, North & City Highlights?
+
Around 79 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does BA - FD Bike Tour with Lunch: South, North & City Highlights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?
+
On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
