There were 5 English speaking, and 5 Spanish speaking on the tour. Franco spoke to both groups fluently and told us lots of interesting facts and we were taken to lots of places. He went out of his way to get my US dollars exchanged for pesos when I was unable to buy a drink as they wouldn't take us dollars or my debit card. He made sure to keep an eye on us all in busy places, as we all headed in different directions. A bit like herding cats, he did a great job

This is an excellent way of exploring Buenos Aires beyond the city center. Especially with the friendly and knowledgeable guides from Bike Tours. We had a fun afternoon rolling through Recoleta and Palermo. Totally recommended!

It was a great tour. Our guide ( Stella ) was very informative, respectful and friendly. The driver was very cautious and helped us out& in in the Mini van. It was very enjoyable, strongly recommend this tour.

Santiago was an amazing guide! He is passionate about what he does and knew so much about La Boca. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would use this group again.

Very knowledgeable. Good command of English. Nice mix of sites visited.
