So, i chose this combo tour because it was mainly about the amazing street art and artists of Buenos Aires - but also, it involved cycling around some of the BA suburbs as well, which we both love to do. Cycle, that is. We started off at the gates of the Botanical Gardens (pretty average gardens with biting buggy things) and hopped on blue bikes with baskets for our stuff and water bottles. Off we went with Cecilia from graffitimundo, cycling away from the busy traffic on tree-lined suburbs was just lovely. We ditched our helmets as most other people did, quite soon after starting our tour. The street art is really great, we started to recognise the style of different artists, some doing stencil work, some painting with paint, others with spray paint, others with chalk. Very relaxing and although my man was bored with learning about artists and art in general, i loved it! If we had more time i would love to do another bike tour as it was quite safe, well organised and there was always someone to stay with the bikes while we went off looking around.
