Start Point
We start our adventure for the day at the Ushuaia Cartel, where we can take photos of this iconic site.
From the Ushuaia sign, we began to travel on foot, amid stories and anecdotes, in the direction of Bahía Encerrada, passing through a site that gave rise to the city, the Upper Mission. From the panoramic view of the Bay we will be able to contemplate the city as a whole, and understand through the story of our guides, the rich history of our ancestors, as of old settlers.
The Antigua Casa Penna is a beautiful old Fuegian-style house, where we will see items donated by ancient settlers, and learn a little more about how the Fuegians lived and currently live.
Arriving at Casa Beban, passing through Casa Pena beforehand, and having seen the objects of extremely rich historical value from ancient settlers, we are going to delve into part of Fuegian history. Casa Beban belonged to the Beban family, of Croatian, Dalmatian origin, dedicated to a large extent to the provision of general supplies from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia, through its two schooners.
Then, we will get to know the Plaza Malvinas, and we will be able to contemplate its history, as well as the history of the war conflict of 1982.
We will get to know this emblematic building and its history, forged by pleasant moments and anecdotes, where various dependencies functioned through the ages.
After having toured the Monument to Günter Pluschow, and learning about his history as a pioneering aviator in the region, we will continue our way through the Bay to learn about the history of the ship that remained an icon of the bay, the Saint Christopher. Next, we will continue to the Civic Square of the city, to learn about its history, forged since October 12, 1884 when the national flag was raised for the first time.
Finally, we can taste a hot chocolate and a tasting of 3 chocolates

The gula Brian very attentive, however the value is expensive for what it offers, is more for a freewalk, for example in the house beban had nothing to see, no exhibition and other museum next door was closed and we discovered at the time.
A rich experience, local tones, and an anecdotal framework necessary to understand a place.
Excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide
If you enjoy walking and learning about history then this is an excellent choice for you. Brian was able to speak English and Spanish fluently for our mixed audience and answered all of our questions.
What a wonderful tour. Brian is an outstanding guide and not only phenomenally knowledgable on Ushaia but also on Argentinian history. We have taken lots of tours all over the world and I can genuinely say that this was a tour unlike others, personal, enjoyable and you get to see some of the real sites in Ushaia. I would highly recommend!
Excellent walk through Ushuaia. Enjoyed all of stories. Loved the chocolate. Much preferred over beer. Guide was on time.
Spectacular the guide explained everything and accompanied us with his grace along the way. He is very knowledgeable and does his job with a lot of love
Excellent tour, a fascinating story and very well prepared the information, the stories, and everything I bring to be the ones that Ushuaia today is quite interesting
We had a great tour with Brian and knowledge of Ushuaia's history! The walking tour was lovely and the delicious hot chocolate and tasty liquers at the end were perfect. Definitely worth it!
Brian made the tour worth it's while, very friendly & knowledgeable of the city. Tour took place via car instead of walking due to the weather, which I was thankful for. Unfortunately there was no chocolate & beer tasting at the end as advertised, as bar was closed (was offered a voucher for that evening, but was not available). Received hot chocolate instead, but not the same. 5 stars for Brian, but the company (Kaitek Viajes) is falsely advertising this tour.
