    If you want a tour that brings you excitement, knowledge and friendship look no further! We had an amazing time yesterday with Martin and Dani from biking Buenos Aires. We took the hidden graffiti and urban art tour in the afternoon and let me tell you, it was a real treat :) Beyond the tour being informative, you could tell the guides were themselves very passionate about “porteño” urban art. They took us to all the must-see spots but also to gorgeous places known only by some locals. They always had extra fun facts about art but also about the history of the city and didn’t let us leave without recommendations for what to do next. The bikes we used were made of bamboo which gives extra flexibility to deal with the Buenos Aires cobblestones and makes them extra comfortable and easy to manoeuvre. All in all it felt like spending a day with old friends, next time we’re in Buenos Aires we will definitely take a tour with them up again!

    The BEST tour I could have hoped for. Martin was beyond knowledgeable and utterly personable. I learned far more than I expected about graffiti and muralism and would never have been able to see these places on my own. Not only was the art fantastic, but I can't compliment Martin enough. Just brilliant

    The Hidden Graffiti tour was incredible. I really enjoyed getting to know the city another way. The murals were incredible and Patricio was an amazing guide. My other highlights include sharing empanadas and mate.

    We did this tour on our first day in Buenos Aires and not only was it a great way to see this art but it was also a fantastic introduction to the city. Patricio was an amazing guide both as far as showing and explaining the art as well as safely leading us throughout parts of the city we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. Lunch was delicious and the guides really went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our tour.

    Thanks for all the great service and showing me BA from another point of view. We explored different corners of the city that are very difficult to get to without this tour and got to see some stunning murals.
