Tour Description

This excursion kicks off around 7 a.m. from the Port of Buenos Aires, where you will board the ferry heading to Colonia del Sacramento.

During the journey, you can take full advantage of the ferry's amenities.

After roughly an hour of travel, we will reach Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. Upon arrival, you'll head to a designated location to pick up your bicycle, which will be your companion for the day.

The entire day is yours to freely explore the city, taking in the vibrant, colorful houses, charming facades, and iconic lanterns.

¡La pasé increíble de verdad con Best South America Tours! La EXCURSION Colonia Por El Día En Bicicleta fue un golazo: ferry ágil desde Buenos Aires y a pedalear por calles empedradas, faro, atardecer y fotos por todos lados. El guía un capo, bicis cómodas y cascos incluidos. Mate, chivito y mucha onda. Ideal para desconectar, moverse tranqui y conocer historia. Mega recomendable para parejas, amigos o viajeros solos.

Colonia en bici: día inolvidable saliendo de Buenos Aires

Ich war mit Best South America Tours auf einer genialen Buenos-Aires-Exkursion unterwegs und hatte die Zeit meines Lebens. Unser Guide war super locker, kannte geheime Ecken in San Telmo, La Boca und Palermo, und sorgte für perfekte Foto-Spots. Mate probieren, Tango auf der Straße, Empanadas vom Markt - alles authentisch und stressfrei organisiert. Kleine Gruppe, pünktliche Abholung, klare Infos, viel Humor. Wenn du Buenos Aires wirklich fühlen willst, buch das. Preis-Leistung top, null Hektik, nur gute Vibes. Würd's sofort definitiv wieder machen!
