Beautiful Buenos Aires

Trini was fabulous! It was truly like visiting with a friend and enjoying the city. She is vey easy going and knowledgeable. She adjusted the time of my tour due to my flight times with no problem and met me at my hotel. A combination of walking and driving. A driver picked us up curbside when we had to go between neighborhoods. The driver was very kind and his car impeccably clean. I felt like I learned so much about the city past and present. I did this the first day of my trip to get an idea of where to go and what to see, and it was so much more than that! I highly recommend this tour! I was also given great recommendations of other things to do. Thank you!

Great private tour!

We had a wonderful tour with our guide Patricia! We saw a lot of Buenos Aires that we wouldn't have seen on our own, and learned a lot about the city. We had to deviate from the normal plan because of a sudden downpour. But we managed to outrun the rain at every turn. She took us to one of her favorite places for a fabulous lunch. She really knew her stuff and answered all of our questions with ease. I would highly recommend this tour and Patricia!

Day Tour of Buenas Aries

Our tour was a full day tour. It can be hot & humid so coming from a cold climate can be an adjustment. Definitely bring sun glasses and water. This was an over view of the city. Pretty comprehensive from landmarks, to historical facts, to popular neighborhoods and more. There were areas I would have liked to explore more and other areas I found a bit dry, but that is the purpose of this kind of tour. I think it works to get a good picture of the city if you are passing through and to learn where you would like to spend more time if you are staying. We had an excellent tour guide, Abril. She was knowledgeable and personable. A tour guide can make or break your visit and she was great. Always consciously thinking of her guests stamina and interests. I would heartily recommend her.

Bravo Massimo!

We can’t give enough stars to express how fantastic our tour of Buenos Aires was. This was all due to the knowledge & expertise of our guide, Massimo Macchiavello. We almost didn’t have a tour as we had inadvertently booked it for the wrong date. Massimo worked that all out & we’re so glad he did. We only had limited time and were leaving Buenos Aires that afternoon so Massimo met us at our hotel that morning with his driver. What a day. Massimo is a living historical & cultural encyclopedia. We have traveled a lot since retirement and had never had a guide as good as Massimo. When asked “how do you know all this?”’, he smiled & said, “I’m a nerd. Instead of watching TV as a kid I watched documentaries”. Though we knew our tour with Massimo was special, that impression was cemented when we spoke to our traveling friends who were on a similar tour. We felt a bit guilty about how good our tour was compared to theirs. If you are going to have some time in Buenos Aires & are looking for a tour, make sure you ask for Massimo. For him, guiding isn’t just a job but clearly a passion. And make sure he takes you to his favorite grilled chorizo restaurant in San Telmo market.

You won’t be disappointed!

Whether it's your first time to Argentina, or you’re a frequent flyer, I would absolutely recommend this tour! There was so much to see and learn about! I loved how much more personal it felt than just jumping a tour bus and also that we controlled the pace! Because it’s a private tour, we were able to stay a little longer in some of the areas that we were more interested in, and breezed through some or the parts that we were familiar with. Everyone has their own tastes, but there is something for everyone on this tour. Kudos to our guide for their extensive knowledge and being able to answer any questions we had. We also got some great tips on a few other places to visit!

Thank you Joe! It was so much fun to show you around Buenos Aires! See you next time!

The very best travel experience we have had as a family!

We love to travel as a family and of all of our trips, this one was the most worry free and organized we have had! Trini and team are excellent communicators, fun, engaging for all ages, and very informative. I have given their information out to several friends considering going to South America

Amazing ventures exploring the most significant locations in Buenos Aires

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We loved learning about the main components that make up Buenos Aires with the help of Abril and Dante. They helped familiarize us very well with Argentina’s dense history and modern societal aspects.

Exceeded all expectations

We traveled to Argentina for a wedding in Bariloche, and connected with Trini and her team at Travel Dreamers through a friend's recommendation, we were so lucky to find her! The tour was educational and entertaining, full of bites of history and culture, we did Palermo, Recoleta, Plaza de Mayo, Cathedral, La Boca and San Telmo. Buses were clean and spacious. Not only did Trini provide a great tour, but she also arranged for our large group to a Tango dinner at Michelangelo and a wine tasting at JA! Throughout we were helped by Trini and Abril, both of them speak perfect English and were so helpful to accommodate any needs that came up, including an unplanned stop at La Biela after walking through Recoleta under the searing noon sun of Buenos Aires. Travel Dreamers also arranged for the transfer of some members of our traveling party between the two Buenos Aires' airports, making the process seamless and helping them get though faster than they expected, with even another stop to try Buenos Aires famous medialunas. Overall, great personalized service, very prompt replies when booking and the flexibility needed when dealing with a large group, strongly recommend, you won't be disappointed!
