Total BA Full Day City Bike Tour​

Meet your local host

Meet Carlos, Julián, or Gilda at 2269 Armenia Street to embark on our full-day bike tour. We will explore the contrasts of a city often associated with European culture, yet marked by the inequalities characteristic of Latin America. This comprehensive city tour will showcase both the newest and oldest aspects of Buenos Aires, taking you through working-class neighborhoods as well as affluent areas. Undoubtedly, this is the ideal way to kick off your journey in the city.

A single language per tour

Our tours are conducted in a single language to ensure you don’t spend your time listening to something you don’t understand or waiting for others to catch up on the information you’ve just received. This approach guarantees that everyone comprehends and can actively engage in the conversation.

Foodie Experience

During our journey, we will make a few longer stops to indulge in Argentina’s most renowned experiences. Firstly, we’ll immerse ourselves in the world of “mate,” a hot infusion sipped from a cup using a metal straw. Additionally, we’ll treat ourselves to the “alfajor,” a delightful cookie sandwich filled with dulce de leche. Moreover, we cannot overlook the opportunity to relish one of Buenos Aires’ most delicious empanadas at an authentic establishment. And let’s not forget about the traditional food truck, where we’ll savor an extraordinary sandwich that is often enjoyed by the locals for lunch. This will undoubtedly be a memorable culinary experience.

Highlights in our Bike Tour:​

Caminito: ​

Caminito, situated in the vibrant south of Buenos Aires, is more than just a stop on our bike tour—it’s an open door to a living museum of colors and culture. As we arrive, you’ll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of hues that paint the very streets beneath your feet. We’ll spend some time here, allowing you to immerse yourself in this picturesque haven. Take your time to stroll along its vivid lanes, capturing countless moments through your lens. While here, consider indulging in a coffee or beer (available for purchase) to truly savor the atmosphere. As you explore, reflect on how immigrants once called this area home, and imagine the stories hidden within its walls.

Cementerio de Recoleta:

As we pedal through the enchanting streets of Buenos Aires, our journey takes us to the timeless Cementerio de Recoleta, the city’s oldest and one of the most renowned cemeteries worldwide. Here, history finds its eternal home, and each corner is a chapter waiting to be discovered. This hallowed ground was divided among Argentina’s affluent families, who erected opulent mausoleums that stand as testaments to their legacy. Owning a resting place here once bestowed “status” upon these families, sparking a competition for the most lavish memorials. Spend approximately 30 minutes exploring this captivating site, where marble and history intertwine. The Recoleta Cemetery ticket is thoughtfully included.

San Telmo:

San Telmo:

Nestled just a few blocks away from the iconic Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo beckons with its timeless allure. This historic neighborhood is a living testament to Buenos Aires’ origins, where the echoes of the past still resonate. Ride through its streets adorned with original cobblestones and glimpse the city’s architectural heritage that harks back to its inception. Today, San Telmo has evolved into a bustling hub, teeming with bars, restaurants, and nightclubs that infuse the streets with life after sundown. Yet, amidst this urban energy, the neighborhood remains steadfast in its traditions. It’s a place where antique shops stand as guardians of the past, offering relics from a bygone era.

Plaza de Mayo:

At the core of Buenos Aires lies Plaza de Mayo, a historic city square that serves as the very birthplace of the metropolis. Reverberating with the echoes of its foundation, this iconic square is affectionately known as “the center” of the city. Plaza de Mayo isn’t just a physical space; it’s the pulse of Argentina, where emotions and events converge. It’s where citizens gather to raise their voices, whether in protest or celebration of pivotal moments in the nation’s narrative. Encircling the square stand the grand edifices that define Buenos Aires’ identity—the Government House, National Bank, Ministry of Economy, and the resplendent Cathedral of Buenos Aires, among others.

Floralis Generica:

Floralis Generica:

Amidst the timeless charm of Buenos Aires, stands the contemporary marvel known as Floralis Generica. This monumental metal flower, composed of 18 tons of recycled airplane metals, has become an emblem of modernity in the city. Gifted to Buenos Aires by Eduardo Catalano in 2002, this awe-inspiring sculpture graces the Recoleta neighborhood, nestled beside the Universidad de Derecho (law university). Here, the sculpture’s petals are open during the day and close at dusk—a symbolic representation of the city’s vibrant spirit. Adjacent to the university, the park where Floralis Generica resides is a dynamic hub of activity, bustling with students year-round.

Puerto Madero:

Puerto Madero, once the epitome of Argentina’s opulence at the turn of the 19th century, holds within its history the evolution of a nation. Originally conceived as Buenos Aires’ premier port, it symbolized the affluence that defined the era. Yet, the tides of time led to its abandonment as a functioning port just years after its inauguration. In a remarkable turnaround, the 1990s witnessed the birth of a visionary project—one that would transform the area into one of the city’s most contemporary neighborhoods. Today, Puerto Madero stands as a testament to the city’s ability to adapt and reinvent itself.

A heartbeat of football fervor, La Boca boasts the iconic “La Bombonera” stadium—the hallowed grounds of the Boca Juniors team. The streets of this district come alive with a vibrant canvas of street art that celebrates the spirit of the community. Amidst its vivid cultural tapestry lies Caminito—a colorful open-air museum and tango hotspot that embodies La Boca’s dynamic essence.
