Bio
Hey there! I’m Carlos, but you can call me Cali. I’ve been passionately connecting with travelers for years, long before joining Biker Street. My love for hosting and introducing people to our culture, especially over a shared mate, began with Couchsurfing in Buenos Aires.
Before immersing myself in tours, I worked at the Buenos Aires Port, managing ship supplies and repairs. That experience honed my communication skills, teaching me to navigate all sorts of English accents! Now, I’m thrilled to spend my days outdoors, guiding tours, and sharing my deep love for this city with visitors from around the world.
Living just two blocks from Plaza de Mayo, I also make sure to stay connected with the pulse of the city, always keen to see what’s happening whenever there’s a demonstration.

¡Hola! I’m Gilda, and I’m your go-to person for customer relations at Biker Street. When I’m not out on a tour, you’ll find me deep in office work, enjoying the perfect balance of staying active and ensuring all our customer interactions run smoothly and efficiently.
My passion for languages and cultures drives my work as a Spanish teacher and translator—a skill set refined during my time at a Spanish school, and one that greatly benefits Biker Street’s diverse community.
I’m a dedicated yoga enthusiast and a lifelong language learner, always believing that understanding new cultures is the key to appreciating different ways of living. Beyond Spanish, I speak English, French, Italian, a bit of Catalan, and I’m forever tackling Euskera. My culinary curiosity also means I’m often experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

Bio
Hi, I’m Julián. After 15 years in Human Resources, I discovered my true passion at Biker Street. I thrive on connecting with our holiday guests, especially those enjoying life to the fullest.
My upbringing in my father’s repair shop instilled a hands-on approach and a knack for problem-solving. This was further refined during my career in Human Resources, where I developed a strong ability to navigate complex situations—skills that are incredibly useful in my work here. While I enjoy leading tours and keeping our bikes in top shape, I also contribute to marketing initiatives and strategic decision-making at Biker Street.
When I’m not immersed in work, you’ll likely find me gardening or perfecting my asado.
