Overview
Starting at 13:00 (please don't be late) in San Telmo, we go over a complete orientation introducing you to your fully-equipped bicycle (each one has its own name), your tour guide, each other and a quick 101 in architecture terminology. Starting from the oldest neighborhood of Buenos Aires, we head straight for Puerto Madero (newest part of the city) to compare colonial buildings with the contrasting modern skyscrapers found in the port. Along the way, we stop and critique the styles of the most fascinating buildings, bridges, churches, monuments, obelisks and theaters that BA has to offer. We have approximately 4 full stops in which we get off the bikes to explore areas on foot, sample local foods, drink yerba mate, enter luxurious hotels and more!
