The May Square is located in the Porteño Downtown, neighborhood of Monserrat, in the area where the foundation of Buenos Aires took place. The Plaza de Mayo is the most important and oldest public square of the city. The name of this square commemorates the Revolution of May 25, 1810, date in which the citizens gathered around to expel the Viceroy and form a creole government. Since then, the Square has been a silent witness to the most important political and social events in the country.
San Telmo is an old neighborhood with a bohemian touch thanks to its temporary art galleries, night bars and street murals. The Defensa street, full of antique shops and bustling brasseries, passes through the Dorrego square, where many tourists come on Sundays to see the street market and street performances. Winding roads run through Lezama Park among jacaranda trees. The neighborhood is full of exclusive restaurants with tango shows.
La Boca is a working class neighborhood that has several attractions next to the Riachuelo. Asadores and street artists mark the entire Caminito, a narrow alley flanked by brightly colored zinc houses that evoke its origin as an immigrant neighborhood. The Bombonera is the Boca Juniors stadium and a whole hotbed on match days. The Proa Foundation is a museum of modern art with temporary exhibitions and views of the old docks.
Caminito is a museum alley and a traditional passage, of great cultural and tourist value, located in the La Boca neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The place acquired cultural significance because it inspired the music of the famous tango Caminito (1926), composed by Juan de Dios Filiberto.
Puerto Madero is a renovated neighborhood that faces the bay. Its renovated redbrick buildings house exclusive grills frequented by tourists and businessmen at lunchtime. There are also modern skyscrapers with multinationals and luxury apartments. The lakes in the area are surrounded by trails, as is the ecological reserve Costanera Sur, very popular with runners and families. The elegant suspension bridge of the Woman connects the ports.
Retiro is a neighborhood with great diversity and quiet streets. Art galleries and chic coffee shops lead to the emblematic and busy train station of Retiro, British style and surrounded by fast food stalls. The art deco tower of the Kavanagh building offers views of the Plaza San Martín, a steep park where office employees rest in the shelter of jacaranda and patriotic monuments. Tourists flock to the Florida pedestrian street for its leather goods boutiques, souvenir stalls and tango dancers.
Recoleta is a thriving area, ideal for walking, known for its Parisian-style terraced houses, ancient lavish palaces and luxurious boutiques. The National Museum of Fine Arts exhibits masterpieces by Argentine artists, and the Recoleta Cultural Center offers temporary avant-garde exhibitions. In the Plaza Francia, with lawn areas, there is a craft market on weekends.

Diego is a very experienced multi-lingual guide, we were well informed of the city and town of BA in a short time!
Hernán was an excellent guide. Very punctual and it was clear he had a lot of knowledge. He answered all our questions. Thank you!
This was an amazing experience. We had the five hour tour with street food and everything was amazing. We loved the guide, the food and all the sites we saw.
Great tour of Buenos Aires. Our tour guide Mariela was so nice and accommodating. She went out of her way to help me find an eSim. Just a great person and totally knowledgeable and passionate about the city. She knew the answer to all our questions. 5/5.
Pablo is an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable guide, friendly and pleasant. I have a great experience and Pablo made sure I visit the main attractions of Buenos Aires and know some of the interesting history. It was my first visit to Buenos Aires and thanks to Pablo I will be back.
If you're looking for a safe and enjoyable way to explore Buenos Aires, I highly recommend this tour! I went on my own while my traveling companions were working, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. The tour guide was absolutely wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. The small group of just three people made the experience feel personal and relaxed. We explored all four corners of Buenos Aires by both car and on foot, giving us a fantastic overview of the city. It was the perfect introduction to Buenos Aires, and I would definitely do it again!
Pablo did a GREAT job. Very knowledgeable about the city, it's history, and all the best places to visit. He is a very friendly and funny guy. I HIGHLY recommend you book your next trip with him!!!
I received a message the day before that the tour would pick me up at my hotel at 11:30 - it wasn't until after 11:50. I would have appreciated a message that the pickup was running late. I had to call the number on the email, and chase down where the tour was. Very disappointing that the guide wasn't more proactive in calling or emailing me.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay in your pickup and for the lack of communication while you were waiting. We understand how frustrating and stressful that must have been. Providing a smooth and well-communicated experience is very important to us, and we work hard every day to ensure situations like this do not happen. We are sorry that, in this case, we did not meet those standards. Your comments have been shared with our operations team so we can reinforce the importance of proactively informing guests of any unexpected delays. We truly appreciate your patience and hope that, despite this inconvenience, you were able to enjoy the rest of your tour.
Booking this tour was a good decision for my trip to Buenos Aires. Pablo, the tour guide, took incredibly good care of the group and made me feel like I was exploring the city with an older brother. His warm and friendly approach immediately made us feel at home, and he is a truly great representative of his culture.Pablo provided fantastic, in-depth information about all the historic landmarks and neighborhoods we visited. He went above and beyond by giving us excellent local suggestions for cafes, restaurants, and hidden gems that only a true local would know. This tour gave me the perfect foundation and a general idea of exactly what I wanted to do during the rest of my stay in Argentina.
It is a good tour to get a quick overview of Buenos Aires before you go explore on your own. The trip is for 3 hours and we spend first hour picking up people so effectively it is a two hour quick express tour. We didn’t spend more than 10-15 minutes at stops except La Boca where we had a 25 minute break. Recommended if you are short on time!
