The Walking Tour with Martina was a wonderful introduction to Buenos Aires. She was great at communicating the history and architecture as we strolled from place to place. She was also careful to understand what we wanted to get from the experience, balancing "must see" items with surprises. We thoroughly enjoyed the time spent on this outing. Highly recommended.
Thank you Erich!, Martina is really nice. We are glad you enjoyed de Tour-
Excellent tour with a woman passionate about her country and culture. Great personality sensitive to clients needs and interests. Clear distinct voice and command of English language.

Hello Diane! Thank you for your comments! We're glad you had a good time!
Lorena is a delight! She’s very personable and has expansive knowledge of the city and its history. We had a lovely afternoon with her - starting at the Pink House and concluding at the Cemetery in Recoleta. She was kind enough to reverse the tour to suit our plans. We loved our time with her and are so appreciative of her engaging and charming style!!
Thank you Lauren!! was a wonderful tour. Hope to see you again! Regards
Completely versed in historical and interesting facts, very personable, aware of cultural nuances of unique interest. Above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommended!
Thank you Todd for your comments! We're glad you had a good time!
Terrific tour! Lorena was our guide and she was the best. The tour is as advertised visiting a handful of BA’s most famous attractions and she was so knowledgeable about everything. It is May and the low season, so our small guide was only my wife and I, and we loved the impromptu “private” tour. We use trip advisor reviews to help book our trips and this one is well worth your time.
Thank you, Martin, for your kind words! Your feedback means a lot, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future! Safe travels!"
Starting with the cafe where we met, getting oriented to the highlights of Recoleta, the bookstore in a beautifully restored theater, learning about mate, the major buildings and sites around the central plaza and ending at Puerto Madero, Patricia gave us a thorough introduction to the center of Bueno Aires. Altogether a wonderful walking tour! Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy walking in interesting places and are comfortable covering some ground.
Hello Pete, thank you for your review! It will help the other travelers! Best Regards!!
I had the privilege of having a tour for myself, as Daniela was kind enough to do the tour even though I was the only one signed up. She is very knowledgeable about the city and Argentina's history, and also gave me tips of things to do and places to go while on my trip. It was greatly appreciated and I really recommend doing the tour, it really gives a great idea of the main sights of the city and the history of Buenos Aires.
Hi Marion! I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour that much! Thank you very much and have a great trip!
This was our second tour with Sailing BA and it was fabulous. The walking tour lasted three hours, starting in Recoleta and ending in Puerto Madero, where we decided to stay for dinner. Our guide, Daniela, was very informative and knew lots of Argentinian history/sites which is always a good sign for a professional tour guide. She answered all our questions and made sure that we were comfortable. I would recommend this tour for anyone. A great way to get your trip to BA started for sure.
Thank you very much! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed both tours with us! Muchas gracias!
After 10 years of traveling the world, the "Highlights of Buenos Aires 3-hour Walking Tour with Small Group" was easily among my favourite tours. Our guide Emiliano made our afternoon not only enjoyable, but interesting, by teaching us about some local customs and facilitating a social atmosphere with the other people in our group. We highly recommend this experience.
We are so glad that you enjoyed the walking tour with Emiliano! Thank you very much and see you next time :)
