“The option to hop on and off the bus is one of the best options to explore the city. Sometimes the bus ins't on time, but it's normal for it to happen since there's traffic and waiting for people to get on the bus on other stops. If you're not fussy with exact timing, this is a great activity.”

Our guide was trying, but her English was not very good , so was hard to understand. I felt like we're were just being driven around the city and not given much history, and culture infomation. The driver was great, got us around easily, especially in heavy traffic.”

Pablo is far more than a guide — he is an excellent storyteller with deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and everyday life. Throughout the tour, he shared fascinating stories, local insights, and details we would never have discovered on our own. Everything was explained with passion, humor, and genuine love for Buenos Aires. The tour was very well organized and paced, allowing us…”

Meet your local guide at 5:30 pm in central Buenos Aires for a 3.5-hour food walk with tastings of empanadas, milanesa, pizza, Argentine wine, coffee, and gelato. Guides such as Lara, Adrian, and Fabian add local history and practical help. The format may include a long meal at one restaurant plus stops for coffee and ice cream.

“I really liked this food tour. The tour guide, Lara, was very helpful. I appreciate all the history of the area she gave. I didn't know beforehand, but I was the only person to sign up. The tour company still went ahead and set up a guide for me rather than just canceling. That was nice and unexpected. One minor note though, tour does not end at starting point. It actually ended a little over a km away (at a fantastic ice cream shop). It worked out. Lara walked most of the way back with me and made sure I could find my hotel.”

We had adequate time to explore, usually. and ended the tour with the option of staying at a restaurant area or going back to our hotel. I found it difficult to catch when the guide switched from Argentinian to English sometimes and felt bad that she had to say everything twice but with only five English speaking passengers she didn't have any choice.”
