Itinerary

15 min

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.

Pass by

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.

15 min

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.

5 min

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.

Pass by

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.

Pass by

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.

20 min

The Recoleta is a famous neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires. It is located in a distinguished area of the city and It was inaugurated ending the eighteenth century. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the city, famous for its numerous and imposing buildings. Its architectural value is a sample of the times when Argentina was an emerging economic power in the late eighteenth century, and the wealthiest families of the city began moving to the Recoleta area.

3 hr private tour Buenos Aires

Our driver met us in the lobby of our hotel the day of our arrival. I booked the 3 hour private tour of the city so we could get an idea of what we would want to further explore and visit while in Buenos Aires. Enrique was amazing ! He was born and raised in BA and also spoke good English. He drove us around the southern end of the city and showed us so many sights and explained so much history too. He also gave us the best recommendations for local restaurant favorites - and he was spot on with everything ! I highly recommend him and this tour

Basic and good

Very good experience as it opens mouths of this great city, the stops they make are the basics (plaza de mayo, walk in the mouth and ends at the entrance to the museum of recoleta), the Carolina guide had very good disposition, good explanation of each place and indicated us how and where to follow the tour on our own and some unmissable sites to visit. The tour falls short for everything you can see and do in the city.

Wonderful Buenos Aires Tour!

My wife and I truly enjoyed this Buenos Aires tour before our cruise. Our guide, Carolina, was fantastic and made the experience memorable from start to finish. She shared so much about the city’s culture and history, and pointed us to the best spots for souvenirs and delicious local food. We learned a lot and felt completely immersed in the spirit of Buenos Aires. We highly recommend this tour — Carolina made our visit unforgettable.

Great experience in Buenos Aires

Great tour. Alejandra was a fantastic guide. She took the time to get to know our small group and customized the tour based on our interests and pace. Her knowledge of the area is incredible, and she made the entire experience engaging and fun. The four hours flew by. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting

Wonderful tour of Buenos Aires

Four of us went on a 3 hour private tour with a driver and Ailin as our guide. We were picked up on time at the Cruise ship port with a very comfortable van. We had visited Buenos Aires before and we discussed with Ailin the things that we particularly wished to see on this tour. She and the driver were very accommodating and flexible - stopping at various sites, as we requested. Ailin communicated in English very well, was knowledgeable and very pleasant. All of us thought that this was an excellent tour.

Perfect!

We had a brief stay and Pablo took us to the main neighborhoods in Buenos Aires and showed us the highlights! Highly recommend for anyone with limited time. We were able to get a flavor of the city and know what we will want to do if we ever return.
