1.Buenos Aires Bike Tour: North Districts, Recoleta and Palermo

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 91 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $45Our pick

A 3-hour bike tour through Recoleta and Palermo, with Puerto Madero’s waterfront, Evita’s cemetery, and park highlights for $45.

“It was a great long bike ride and the guide was nice, but there was very little information given along the way and we saw so many things of interest that could have been talked about. We still really enjoyed the ride and got ideas of places where we want to return during our stay. It was a great way to start the trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 50 reviews · 3 hours · from $1Best value

Tip-based Recoleta and Retiro walk with Teatro Colón exterior, palaces, parks, and a terrace view of the Tower of the English.

“Walking was a little rough for a couple old folks, but we saw so much up close. The explanations were great by Maria, and her English was mostly easy to follow. Thankful for the bathroom break. Luckily for us, we are staying very close to the Cemetery, so was just a short walk to return “home” at end of tour.”

4.Cultural Experience by Bike around Palermo and Recoleta Max 6 ppl

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 44 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $54

Cycle Palermo’s lanes to Recoleta Cemetery, Floralis Generica, and Palermo parks, with helmet, mate, and alfajores included.

“My wife and I opted for this bike tour as we had a late-night flight out of Buenos Aires. It was a perfect way to enjoy the Palermo neighborhood and its beautiful green areas for four hours. Our tour guide, Julian, did a great job leading our ride. He is personable and made sure we were safe all along. For all but a few blocks, we rode the city's expansive "ciclovias" (dedicated bike lanes). Julian knowledge of Argentina/Buenos Aires history, culture and daily life make for a rewarding cultural experience. Finishing our ride at the iconic Floralis Generica drinking "mate" was a special treat. Highly recommended.”
