4. What is the difference between a standard group tour and a private tour?
Standard tours are open to anyone who books with us; whereas a private tour is closed to “public” bookings. We recommend private tours for families, newlyweds, company outings, senior citizens and anyone who wishes to bike at their own pace. Private tours are fully customizable and are tailored to the client’s interests and needs. Those taking private tours may alter touring spots as they wish as long as the sun permits and stays within the hour specified for given tour. The private tour fee of US$50 or ARS$250 is added on to the total tour price, not per person.
5. Are bike tours safe?
Yes! We travel many bike trails & backstreets avoiding traffic whenever possible; however, in order to tour unique parts of the city, traffic may be unavoidable. Helmets are provide and highly recommended and stay with the bicycle for the duration of the tour. In the unfortunate case of a mishap, our guides are fully prepared with first aid equipment and emergency contact information.
6. How many riders are allowed in group tours?
Our minimum can be just one person and our maximum is 10 passengers for safety purposes and to maintain a more personal experience and keep a steady pedal-pace. Tours exceeding 7 people will be accompanied by a second trail guide to help guide the group along.
For company group tours, we allow up to 20 passengers as the group will be accompanied by two or more guides at all times.

For insurance purposes, we are only allowed to tour with passengers age 15 or older. Passengers 18 or younger need to be accompanied by an adult.
