BA Bikes, Buenos Aires, Argentina - Tour Review | Condé Nast Traveler
"Zoom out. What’s the big picture here? Headquartered at the BA Bikes office and workshop, this is a slick operation dealing in numerous tours in different neighborhoods every day. The South tour is tempting, thanks to the big-hitting sights on the map, but you can also take a private bike tour or go over to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay for the day. Reservations required. Cool. Tell us about your fellow tourees. Mainly younger people with energy to cycle about for four hours or more. How are the guides, then? An extremely well-informed guide brimming with facts and history shared the city as we explored the likes of landmarks such as La Boca, Caminito, La Bombonera soccer stadium, and Plaza de Mayo. Totally organized and keeping us, literally, on the right bike tracks. Anything you’ll be remembering weeks or months or years from now? This was dynamic and fascinating, and took the mundane out of regular sightseeing, and getting close to some of Argentina's most emblematic buildings and sights—as opposed to seeing them through a taxi window—was refreshing. Plus, we can also call this exercise! I like it. So: money, time—how can we make the most of both? First-timers in BA looking to get to know the city in one hit will enjoy this." - Sorrel Moseley-Williams
