Small-Group South BA Bike Tour: San Telmo, La Boca & Pto Madero

5.0
(97 reviews)
Buenos Aires, Argentina

4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

The soul of Buenos Aires was born in the south — and this is where we take you. In 4 hours on two wheels, you'll ride through the neighborhoods that shaped the city: cobblestone streets, immigrant stories, tango roots, passion for football, and a hidden ecological reserve most visitors never find.

We keep groups small (max 8 on shared departures) so you actually get to experience the city, not just pass through it. From 7 riders, a second guide joins — one leading, one at the rear — making sure everyone stays safe and no one misses a moment.

Available as a shared small-group tour in English, or as a private experience in English, Spanish or Portuguese (Portuguese subject to availability). Choose your ride: classic city bikes, handcrafted bamboo bikes, or eBikes available at an extra charge — subject to availability, please request at time of booking.

We meet at Casa Castagnino, one of the oldest buildings in San Telmo, built in the late 1700s and finish right back where we started.
