Description
Go beyond the colorful façades of Caminito and discover the real La Boca. This is not a standard tourist tour; it’s an anthropological exploration of one of Buenos Aires’s most iconic and contradictory neighborhoods.
We will delve into the past and present of this vibrant district, from its origins as a gritty port town for millions of immigrants to its current status as a world-famous, Instagrammable attraction. Be prepared to do more than just listen; this is an interactive experience where you are encouraged to ask questions, share your perspectives, and discuss the fascinating forces that have shaped La Boca.
Who were the immigrants who built La Boca, and who are its inhabitants today? How did Club Atlético Boca Juniors become a global phenomenon? How has gentrification and tourism changed the neighborhood’s identity?
Join us for a walk that will change how you see Buenos Aires. Book your spot now and uncover the story behind the postcard!

Great way to get a deeper feel for Argentina
I did both their tour of La Boca and the one of Recoleta. These are a wonderful way to see the city and to learn both Argentine history and contemporary culture. Nico is a great guide, very entertaining and engaging and makes sure it's interactive, you can ask him lots of the cultural questions you've been wondering about. Also I love these are always small groups. Recommended.

Thank you Donovan for joining us twice! It was a pleasure showing you both the north and south of the city!

A must-do tour if you want to learn about Argentina.
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 :-)

A must to understand Buenos Aires
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!

Exceptional Tour
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.
