Itinerary
Plaza De Mayo
Set off on a half-day walking tour with your own private guide, learning all about the history and culture of beautiful Buenos Aires. Your guide will be a real porteño (resident of the city), who knows every barrio like the back of his/her hand. Together, you'll head off to explore some of the city's historical hotspots, as well as some of the favorite local hangouts of your guides. It's a great mix of experiences thrown into one. Getting an inside glimpse of Buenos Aires, you'll go far beyond the guidebooks and swerve the tourist crowds, allowing you to see a different side of the city. At times, you'll take public transport to cover the larger distances, while most of the tour will be on foot. After a few hours with your personal guide, the tour will finish at one of his/her favorite restaurants, where you can grab a well-deserved bite to eat (lunch not included). It's a brilliant way to get a peek into the real porteño way of life.
Calle Defensa
San Telmo is a bohemian area full of history and antiques.
La Boca
Caminito is the most well-kept street of what early 20th century La Boca looked like when it was full of immigrants. The multi-color houses are what gave the neighborhood its picturesque look. Optionally, you can choose to visit Boca Juniors Stadium (not included).
Recoleta
Recoleta was the area were rich families had their estates and also housed the cementery where many historical figures have their last rest.
