(65 reviews)
Buenos Aires, Argentina

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

Most visitors see Buenos Aires through its iconic landmarks — but the city's real story is told on its walls. This 4-hour private bike tour takes you deep into the neighbourhoods where street art became a language: San Telmo, La Boca and Barracas, far from the tourist track and into corners most visitors never find.

You'll ride past massive murals, decode the symbols and stories behind the art, and stop to try your hand at your own stencil artwork — one of those moments you actually take home with you.

Groups are private, so the experience adapts entirely to your pace and curiosity. Your guide speaks English or Spanish, and 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.
