Amazing!
Ruben_N, Mar 2023
Tour was amazing. The only way to see the city! Santiago was absolutely a fabulous host to our tour always answering our questions and showing us every detail to this beautiful city!
We had a great time...

We had a great time exploring Buenos Aries. Having our own guide allowed us to see what we wanted at the pace that fit us best, especially since it was a very hot day. Maria Laura Lorenzo was as good as we could ask for, and did everything that she could to make our day fantastic!
Get your walking shoes on and start learning about the wonderful city!

Gustavo was awesome. We got picked up from our hotel lobby. For the next 3 hours, we walked all around Buenos Aires. He asked us what we'd like to see, we told him, and he took us to Boca to the Boca stadium. He was so sweet and kind throughout the whole tour. He answered all our questions and gave us excellent recommendations. It was a great day! He shared some good stories and knew the answers to any questions about Buenos Aires' history. You'll enjoy this tour. Make sure if you go during the summer to have good shoes and an umbrella for the sun or long selves or anything to protect you from the sun!
Useful information
Richard_B, Feb 2023
Knowledgeable guide, didn’t rush us. Good information. What would have made it better is if the guide bought a map of the area we were walking so we could have tracked our route and marked places we might want to return to. A one sheet map and highlighter couldn’t add much to the cost.
Perfect way to see Buenos Aires
Andrew_F, Jan 2023
I had been to Buenos Aires before so I was looking for a more local view of the city rather than the typical first-time tour experiences. Santiago met me at Teatro Colon, and after hearing where I had been and experienced, put together an itinerary on the spot that included using buses and the subway to get around town. As we walked and rode around he gave me a glimpse of life in Buenos Aires I had wanted. He was informative, attentive, and fun to spend (a very hot in the 90's) afternoon in Buenos Aires. By the end of the tour I felt a much better connection to the city than the main tourist attractions can provide.
A wonderful experience with Nadia!
Becky_S, Dec 2022
My family had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide, Nadia, was an expert on the city. She did a great job balancing information and making sure we got to enjoy a variety of sites. She was wonderful about making adjustments to the itinerary to meet the needs of our nine year old. We saw so much in a short period of time! We were arriving via cruise ship and were delayed by an hour. The tour company and Nadia were both very responsive and willing to adjust the schedule at the last minute. Thank you Nadia for a great day in Buenos Aires!
Espectacular!
Edith_G, Jun 2022
This is more than a tour, it’s you and a friend walking, talking, enjoying the amazing views and discussing history. I fell in love, with Buenos Aires and Lucrecia! Our now friend(I can’t say less) Amazing tour guide Lucrecia is absolutely incredible, she gave us 1000%, she lead us through the best places of Buenos Aires. Please take this tour, be ready to walk for several hours. Bring comfortable shoes.
Gracias Lu! Nos hiciste el día

Informative, Fun and Interesting
Michele_W, Apr 2022
Interesting, fun and informative. I loved my tour with Alejandra. She was so helpful and very knowledgeable about the history of Buenos Aires. We had a great day walking around the neighborhoods of BA, the famous cementery and the murals of Palermo. We stopped at an interesting coffee spot for a delicious break. It was my favorite part of my trip to BA. I definitely recommend her trip. I felt like a local throughout my day with her.
