Overview
Starting at 11:00 am in the Botanical Garden, we go over a complete orientation introducing you to your fully-equipped bicycle (each one has its own name), your tour guide (groups of 8 or more get 2 guides), and each other. We ride our way towards Recoleta to learn how this neighborhood became inhabited by some of the wealthiest families of Buenos Aires. Along the way, we stop and tell the stories behind the most fascinating attractions including plazas, parks, buildings, metal flowers, cemetary, massive trees and more. We have at least 4 stops in which we get off the bikes to explore areas on foot, sample local foods, drink yerba mate, buy antiques, talk with locals, listen to live music, visit ancient tombs, and much more! We end our tour where we began in Plaza Italia - Botanical Garden (Palermo).
