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 formed 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.
ou will visit inside the Recoleta Cemetery (Ticket entrance included), The tomb of Eva Perón and how distinctive it is from other cemeteries, the Belle Epoque buildings, and you will learn the importance of this neighborhood throughout the history.
We will board our ship and tour around the rivers Luján, San Antonio, Carapachay, Angostura and Sarmiento.
The Puerto de Frutos may sound like a tropical paradise, but it’s actually a charming little pier on the banks of the Luján River in Tigre. Back in the mid-20th century, boats would unload piles of fresh fruit here, straight from the Paraná Delta — basically the old-school version of a farmers’ market with more water and fewer Instagram filters. Today, instead of crates of oranges, you’ll find a bustling market full of crafts, décor, and enough souvenirs to make your suitcase groan.
Back in 1909, the locals decided life needed a little more excitement — so they created a club where everyone could get together, play sports, relax, and, of course, enjoy a touch of European glamour with a fancy casino. Think of it as Tigre’s early version of a country club mixed with a playground for fun and leisure, where rowing oars and roulette wheels went hand in hand.

The day long tour of Buenos Aires was a great experience. Enrique gave us a thorough overview of the city itself along with addition of the boat ride through the Tigre delta. We were able to get a good grasp on the layout of the area along with being allowed to visit the most important sights. We enjoy the history behind the sights and Enrique was able to educate us well in that regard.
Excellent service with accurate information. Marcelo is an exceptional guide, pleasant, fun, kind, and knowledgeable.
Tour was fantastic. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. If you do not have many days, I would highly recommend this tour.
Great tour with very knowledgeable guide. You will see several different parts of the city, including the delta islands.
Excellent excursion. Well worth the time and money. Marcelo was very knowledgeable and interesting. A really great taste of this beautiful city.
This tour covers a lot of the city. The van was comfortable and the stops were interesting. The snack was more like a lunch with several choices. Our tour guide Emilia was very knowledgeable and organized. Totally recommend this tour.
This was a great tour. It covered so many highlights and we are so glad we booked this for a day. Juan Manuel was our guide and he was welcoming, polite and very knowledgeable on a variety of subjects. The boat ride on the Tigre Delta was great. Driver was great in getting us around safely and slowing die some photo ops where we weren’t stopping. The stories in Recoleta cemetery were great.
Pablo was a wonderful tour guide. He answered all of our questions and had such interesting information about all the sites. We were lucky; we only had four people on our tour that day. We were not bored for a moment. This is a great tour for your first days in BA. We had to reschedule due to illness and Pablo's company was very accomodating and we had no problems at all!
Our guide was highly knowledgeable about the Buenos Aires history and main attractions. He was very friendly and completely fluent in English and Spanish. I highly recommend this tour at the start of your visit.
If you have one day, and want an overview of Buenos Aires, this is the tour to take. Also, it would be great to take at the beginning of a longer stay, as many recommendations are given. Pueblo was very knowledgeable, answered our many questions, and was conscious of time and traffic to ensure that we got to see and do everything we could in one day. A Sunday morning was a great time to do this tour as traffic was light, and attractions had few tourists out yet. Visiting the Tigre in the afternoon allowed for relaxing sightseeing on the river while we enjoyed our lunch that was pre ordered and ready.
