Incredible experience! We had the opportunity to get to know La Boca guided by an expert in a warm and safe manner
Obrigado Alejandro!
Had a great private tour in la Bola and Caminito with Nicolas. He was very informativ and explained me a lot about the famous football club and other things.
Thank you very much! And good luck with the World Cup!
The tour in La Boca is highly recommended! We learned a lot about history, but we were also able to discuss other topics! Great communication and a very pleasant atmosphere!
Vielen Dank!
A necessary, even mandatory, experience for anyone who wishes to know the city beyond the touristy aspects. This is not the classic free tour; it is clear that Nicolás knows what he is talking about. I regret not having done other excursions with him; I hope to return and have another opportunity. There are many tour options, but this is something else entirely. More than recommended!
Gracias Mónica! Fue un placer :-)
I've been traveling to many countries but the guided tours I had in Buenos Aires will be hard to top. Nicolas isn't just a guide, but a person that brings you into an immersive experience, ready to answer to any questions. I took part in the tour around the historical center and the one in Boca. I would have never learned so much by reading a book or a blog. If you are looking for something that will make the difference during your staying in Buenos Aires: don't skip this tour! Highly recommend
Grazie mille!
Nico was an excellent tour guide. When we first met, he asked what I wanted out of the experience and shaped the tour around it. He is a wealth of knowledge and super friendly guy. I would 100% recommend his tours.
2x1 :-) thank you very much!
