The Experience
The tour starts at the Palermo meeting point and moves through tree-lined boulevards and rose gardens on either a classic city bike, handcrafted bamboo bike, or eBike (the eBike available at an extra charge). You'll ride through Palermo Soho—called Hollywood because of the filming studios once based there—then into Parque Tres de Febrero, the 65-acre park that was once owned by Juan Manuel de Rosas. The route passes the Floralis Generica, the city's iconic silver flower sculpture, and takes you to Plaza Francia in Recoleta, where you pass by the Recoleta cemetery where Evita and many other famous figures are buried.
The 4-hour pace is built so you actually feel the neighbourhoods instead of just passing through them. From 7 riders on shared tours, a second guide joins—one leading, one at the rear—to keep everyone safe and make sure no one misses a moment. Water and snacks are included, and there's a traditional mate stop where you'll share Argentina's iconic social drink the local way. The tour finishes back at the Palermo starting point, so there's no scrambling for transport at the end.
You can book this as a shared small-group departure in English, or as a private experience where you choose the language—English, Spanish, or Portuguese (Portuguese subject to availability). If you want to upgrade to an eBike, request it at the time of booking; availability is limited. The tour suits all fitness levels, and the minimum age is 12.
