Your Full-Day Buenos Aires Bike Tour
Dive into Buenos Aires
When you arrive, you’ll meet Carlos, Julián or Gilda, one of the three founders of Biker Street and your local host for the day. From there, we’ll spend the day exploring Buenos Aires by bike, moving through historic neighborhoods, elegant areas and some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Along the way, we’ll share the stories, culture and everyday life behind the places we visit, with plenty of time to stop, ask questions and experience the city at a local pace.
One Language, Better Conversations
Our tours are guided in one language, so everyone can take part in the conversation without waiting for translations. It keeps the experience more natural, personal and engaging.
Foodie Experience
Foodie Experience
Food is part of everyday life in Buenos Aires, so we don’t treat lunch as just another inclusion. We’ll stop at authentic local spots to try some of the foods porteños actually eat, including empanadas and a classic Argentine choripán. It’s a chance to taste the city and share a few stories along the way.
Mate Experience
Mate is one of the traditions that brings people together in Argentina. We’ll introduce you to this much-loved local ritual, show you how porteños share it, and invite you to enjoy a traditional mate with an Argentine alfajor. It’s a simple way to experience a small but meaningful part of everyday life in Buenos Aires.
Highlights of Our Buenos Aires Full-Day Bike Tour
Caminito:
Caminito:
Caminito, in the heart of La Boca, is one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic landmarks—a colorful street museum filled with art, tango and history. We’ll spend some time here so you can explore its vivid lanes, take photos and soak up the atmosphere. You can also stop for a coffee or beer (available for purchase) while learning about the immigrants who once called this area home. This colorful corner of Buenos Aires became a symbol of the city’s immigrant heritage and its enduring cultural identity.
Cementerio de Recoleta:
Our ride takes us to Recoleta Cemetery, one of Buenos Aires’ most remarkable landmarks and the final resting place of many of Argentina’s most influential figures. Behind its ornate mausoleums and marble sculptures lies a fascinating story of wealth, power and social status. Buenos Aires’ elite families competed to create increasingly elaborate tombs, turning the cemetery into an extraordinary open-air display of architecture and history. Spend around 30 minutes exploring its remarkable corners and learning about the people buried here.
*Recoleta Cemetery ticket is not included.
Cementerio de Recoleta:
San Telmo:
San Telmo:
Just a few blocks from Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo is one of Buenos Aires’ oldest and most atmospheric neighborhoods. We’ll ride along its original cobblestone streets, passing historic buildings, antique shops, bars and restaurants that reveal different sides of the neighborhood. Once home to some of the city’s wealthiest families, San Telmo later became a working-class district and today blends its rich history with a lively local scene. As we explore, we’ll share the stories behind its streets and the traditions that still shape the neighborhood today.
Plaza de Mayo:
At the heart of Buenos Aires, Plaza de Mayo is the city’s most important historic and political square. Surrounded by landmarks such as the Casa Rosada (Government House), Metropolitan Cathedral and Cabildo, it has been at the center of Argentina’s most significant events for centuries. From political demonstrations to celebrations, generations of Argentines have gathered here to express their hopes, demands and emotions. We’ll stop here to explore the history behind the square and discuss how its events continue to shape Argentina today.
Plaza de Mayo:
Floralis Genérica:
Floralis Genérica:
Floralis Genérica is one of Buenos Aires’ most distinctive modern landmarks, a giant metal flower set beside the University of Buenos Aires Law School. Created by Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano and gifted to the city in 2002, the sculpture has become an iconic part of the Recoleta landscape. Its petals open during the day and close at night, creating a striking sight as the light changes. We’ll stop here to admire the sculpture, take photos and enjoy the surrounding park, a lively gathering place for students and locals.
Puerto Madero:
Puerto Madero tells the story of Buenos Aires’ transformation from a thriving port to one of the city’s most modern neighborhoods. Built in the late 19th century to serve as the city’s new port, it soon became obsolete as ships grew larger and the docks could no longer accommodate them. After decades of decline, an ambitious project in the 1990s transformed the abandoned docks and warehouses into today’s upscale waterfront district. We’ll stop at the iconic Puente de la Mujer to admire its distinctive design and talk about how this modern landmark became part of Buenos Aires’ identity.
Puerto Madero:
La Boca District:
La Boca District:
La Boca, a vibrant working-class neighborhood, offers a glimpse into Buenos Aires’ immigrant roots and everyday life. European immigrants arrived here in the 19th and early 20th centuries, shaping the neighborhood’s unique character and culture. La Boca is also inseparable from football, home to the legendary La Bombonera stadium and Boca Juniors. Beyond the tourist crowds around Caminito, we’ll explore the neighborhood’s streets and talk about its history, community and the role it continues to play in Buenos Aires today.
Palermo Area:
Palermo is Buenos Aires’ largest and most diverse neighborhood, made up of distinct areas with their own character and atmosphere. We’ll ride along the bike paths beside the parks of the Bosques de Palermo, one of the city’s great green spaces, before exploring areas such as Palermo Soho, known for its creative scene and independent shops. We’ll also pass through elegant Palermo Chico and Palermo Viejo, where grand residences, local businesses and everyday life reveal a different side of Buenos Aires.
Palermo Area:
Recoleta Area:
Recoleta Area:
Recoleta is one of Buenos Aires’ most elegant and distinctive neighborhoods, shaped by the wealth and ambitions of Argentina’s upper classes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its grand architecture, leafy streets, traditional cafés and refined atmosphere still reflect that history today. As we ride through the neighborhood, we’ll explore how Recoleta’s buildings, parks and everyday life reveal the social contrasts that have shaped Buenos Aires and Argentine society.
