Our tour begins at the iconic Plaza de Mayo, where your guide will give you an overview of Argentine history. Here, you'll gain insight into the foundational bases of Argentina and its political reality. What will you see at this stop? 1. Plaza de Mayo: This is the main square in Buenos Aires and a historic site where numerous political demonstrations and important events have taken place since Argentina's independence. 2. Casa Rosada: This is the executive mansion and office of the President of Argentina. With its distinctive pink color, it is one of the country's most iconic buildings. 3. Buenos Aires Cathedral: This is the main Catholic church in the city, located across from Plaza de Mayo. It is known for its neoclassical architecture and houses the mausoleum of General José de San Martín. 4. Buenos Aires Cabildo: This historic colonial building served as the town council during the colonial era. Today, it is a museum that offers insight into the city's past.
The tour continues on the way to the Ateneo Grand Splendid, and along the route, we will travel through iconic avenues such as 9 de Julio and Avenida de Mayo. What will you see from the vehicle? 1. The Obelisk of Buenos Aires: This is a historic monument and city icon located at the intersection of 9 de Julio and Corrientes Avenues, built in 1936 to commemorate the fourth centenary of the first founding of Buenos Aires. 2. The Teatro Colón: Considered one of the most important opera houses in the world, the Teatro Colón is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and impressive architecture, having been inaugurated in 1908. 3. The National Congress: This is the seat of the Legislative Branch of Argentina, housed in a majestic neoclassical building in Buenos Aires, where the country's laws are debated and enacted.
On our way to the Ateneo Grand Splendid we will make a short stop at Galerías Pacífico. Galerías Pacífico is a must-visit for its stunning blend of art, history, and luxury. This iconic 19th-century shopping gallery dazzles with its ornate Beaux-Arts architecture, including a frescoed dome painted by famed Argentine artists.
Our second stop will be the Ateneo Grand Splendid, where you can see an incredible theater converted into a bookstore. Enjoy one of the city's most iconic sites, filled with books of Argentine and international literature. The Ateneo Grand Splendid is an iconic bookstore located in a former theater in Buenos Aires, famous for its stunning architecture and adaptation that preserves original elements like the stage and balconies. Considered one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, it offers a unique experience for book and history lovers.
Parque Tres de Febrero is often considered the Central Park of Buenos Aires, offering expansive green spaces and recreational opportunities. The park's area is a little smaller than Central Park's 1.3 square miles, but both serve as essential urban oases in their respective cities. What will you visit? As an initial introduction to the park, you will take a short walk through the central rose garden by one of the lakes before continuing to the Japanese Garden.
We stop for lunch in the biggest neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Travelers can choose between different restaurant options to taste either some good Argentine steak or a delicious plate of pasta with some Malbec.

It is the final resting place of many prominent figures in Argentine history, including Eva Perón. This site is considered one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world and is a must-see tourist attraction in the city.
Our last stop before dropping you off at your hotel is the neighborhood of La Boca in Buenos Aires, one of the city's most iconic areas, known for its vibrant culture and strong ties to Italian immigrant history. It is famous for its colorful tin houses and bohemian atmosphere, reflecting an artistic and popular spirit.

Our private tour included a comfortable luxury SUV, a driver, and a tour guide. Both our driver and guide spoke excellent English. Our day was tailored to see all the things we wanted to see, including places where we could get the most iconic photographs of Buenos Aires. For lunch, we were taken to an excellent parrilla for classic Buenos Aires grill, the Calden del Soho, in the Palermo neighborhood. The grand finale was a trip to La Boca, which was a total street party because of a home game by the Boca Juniors futbol team at La Bombonera stadium. We had a wonderful tour, and it was definitely a value! I highly recommend this tour.
Mrs. Eubany and Mr. Breiterman: Thank you very much for your review. We were able to enjoy a wonderful day together despite the weather challenges. We were fortunate to experience La Boca with its unique atmosphere, especially with the pre-soccer match excitement in the air. It was a pleasure assisting and accompanying you. Until the next adventure! Lily (Concierge) & Martin (Guide)
This was a perfect way to start our trip to Argentina. It was an excellent overview of the city with bits of history, architecture, arts, and nature. Alvaro and Martin were very attentive, pre-stocking the SUV with all our favorite drinks and snacks (even tracking down one of my favorite drinks). They also found the perfect latte for my wife (Martin is a coffee connoisseur). They made a fantastic lunch reservation for us @ Fogon (ask for this place!). They have great energy and a clear love for the city. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and in great condition. The tour felt like an amazing ride around the city all day with friends. Nothofagus is an excellent company. I made a mistake with my booking, but they were able to rearrange things to make it work for us. I would HIGHLY recommend this company and tour. After the tour, Martin even messaged us suggestions for places to visit on our own (with links and descriptions). Cannot say enough about how great this tour was!
Dear Mr. Cass, Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted Alvaro and Martin crafted such a memorable introduction to Buenos Aires, complete with personalized details like your favorite drinks, the perfect latte, and securing Fogon. We’re glad you felt at home in their care. Thrilled the post-tour tips added value to your stay. We hope to welcome you back for more discoveries soon! Warm regards, Lily Dulpont Concierge, Nothofagus Luxury Tours
A Wonderful Day in Buenos Aires with Martín & Álvaro We had an absolutely incredible time exploring Buenos Aires with our guides, Martín and Álvaro. These two young men were not only kind and enthusiastic, but they also brought the city to life with their deep knowledge of its history, culture, and local gems. From the iconic pink façade of the Casa Rosada to the colorful streets of Caminito in La Boca, Martín and Álvaro curated a tour that felt both comprehensive and personal. They shared stories that added depth to each stop—whether it was the legacy of Eva Perón at Recoleta Cemetery, the whimsical charm of Mafalda on a street corner, or the grandeur of El Ateneo, the stunning bookstore housed in a former theater. They struck the perfect balance between historical context and modern local flavor. One moment we were admiring the baroque beauty of a basilica, and the next we were wandering a lush, shady park or snapping photos of playful street art. Their passion for Buenos Aires was contagious, and we left each location with a newfound appreciation for this vibrant city. Martín and Álvaro were truly wonderful hosts—warm, professional, and full of insight. We can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re visiting Buenos Aires, do yourself a favor and let these two show you around—you’ll leave with great memories, stunning photos, and a deep love for this beautiful city.
Thank you, Kristin and Kevin, for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed Buenos Aires with Martín and Álvaro, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable experiences. Lily
We had a day to spend in Buenos Aires after getting off our cruise ship, as our flight didn’t leave until late that night. We were picked up at the cruise port, and even though it was chaos, we had great communication the whole time and were able to find our guide. The rest of the day was enjoyable, insightful, and fun! Both the guide and the driver were knowledgeable about the city and did a great job of showing us around. They tailored the day to what we wanted and recommended an incredible place for lunch and ice cream afterwards (even offering advice on how and what the Argentinians eat off the menu!)! They had a plan and always kept us informed to make sure it is what we were interested in doing and seeing. We felt that we truly got a great tour and understanding of the city and the culture of Buenos Aires. We would 110% recommend booking this day tour with these guys!
Thank you, Melissa and Michael, for your glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your day with us in Buenos Aires and look forward to hosting you again someday. Best, Lily.
Our guide Martin And driver Alvaro were wonderful. They had everything thing prepared ( snacks, restaurant booking, umbrellas, soft drinks etc.) based on our needs. They knew the history and sports and were able to show everything we wanted to see.
Martin Yankelevich was great! Martin began communicating with us via WhatsAp as soon as the reservation was made (months before the tour) to ask what we wanted to see. He continued his communications up until the day prior and picked us up at our hotel on time in a luxury vehicle. We were touring prior to a cruise and had planned a half-day intercity tour the following day. Martin tailored our tour to exclude things we might see on the half-day tour. Martin took us to the Lagos de Palermo city park, the Japanese Gardens, the Recoleta Cemetery and neighborhood, China Town, the water front with the Woman's Bridge, and last but not least La Boca. La Boca is a poor Buenos Aires neighborhood that has become a tourist district, has many police, has great food and sights, and is a must-see. Martin was by far the most professional private guide that we have encountered in our worldwide travels. Martin provided drinks and snacks as part of the tour. Thanks for a great tour, Martin! Al and Christie
Martin Y was great! He communicated with us weeks prior to our arrival. We were picked up on time at our hotel and taken to many Buenos Aires sites we would have never seen without Martin. Drinks and snacks were provided. Take this tour and ask for Martin.
I had an enjoyable day with Martin. He is a very courteous young man who is delighted to build up his business. We spent a lot of time in the northern barrios of Belgrado and Palermo and went to Recoleta Cemetery and the Japanese Gardens. After all that we really only had time to drive through Puerto Madero down to La Boca. We could probably easily have rejigged it to spend more time in the centre. He will go with the flow of whether you want a full lunch or a quick snack. It was a full day from 8:30 till 5 and well worth it.
Martin was a wonderful tour guide, very attentive. He would open the doors for us, had drinks and snacks in the car as well as very accommodating to our interests. He was a wealth of information. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend him and this service.
We can not recommend this Private City Tour with Martin Yankelevich highly enough. He worked very diligently by email before we arrived, making suggestions and listening to our likes and dislikes, to come up with a day that would be specifically suited to our interests. Martin was able to suggest a tour itinerary that captured everything we hoped to see and do and more. He was also able to be flexible on the day as time and the weather dictated. Martin had wonderful local knowledge and had great judgement in his recommendations and restaurant choice. It enriched our visit to Buenos Aires, was a relaxing day allowing his lead, while very interesting and memorable. We were truly thrilled with our decision to do this.
