  • 5Fab tour

    Fantastic tour with Santiago, we enjoyed learning about the area and places to visit once we'd finished the tour, particularly the workshops for the Colon theatre. Fantastic, and we never would have found them on our own.

  • 4Lots of history

    Friendly and full of knowledge. There’s so much more to learn than just walking around snapping photos. Our guide gave us a ton of information that made the area more meaningful

  • 5Fantastic guide made this a great experience

    Fantastic guide Santiago made this tour a fascinating experience with real insight and passion for the material. I came with fairly low expectations as initial impressions were of a tourist trap but Santiago brought the place alive and gave it enormous depth. 2 hours was brief - I could have easily listened to Santiago all day - but it’s a great introduction and he gives some excellent tips on how to further explore the area. $10 is terrific value.

About Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is Argentina's elegant, passionate capital, a city of grand boulevards, tango halls, leafy barrios and late-night steak dinners.

The Plaza de Mayo, framed by the pink Casa Rosada and the Metropolitan Cathedral, is the historic heart of the city, and the vast Avenida 9 de Julio leads to the Obelisk. The Teatro Colón, one of the great opera houses, and the grand cafés of Avenida de Mayo recall the city's golden age.
