Know More about this tour


The May Square is located in the Porteo Downtown, neighborhood of Monserrat, in the area where the foundation of Buenos Aires took place. The Plaza de Mayo is the most important and oldest public square of the city. The name of this square commemorates the Revolution of May 25, 1810, date in which the citizens gathered around to expel the Viceroy and form a creole government. Since then, the Square has been a silent witness to the most important political and social events in the country.
San Telmo is an old neighborhood with a bohemian touch thanks to its temporary art galleries, night bars and street murals. The Defensa street, full of antique shops and bustling brasseries, passes through the Dorrego square, where many tourists come on Sundays to see the street market and street performances. Winding roads run through Lezama Park among jacaranda trees. The neighborhood is full of exclusive restaurants with tango shows.
La Boca is a working class neighborhood that has several attractions next to the Riachuelo. Asadores and street artists mark the entire Caminito, a narrow alley flanked by brightly colored zinc houses that evoke its origin as an immigrant neighborhood. The Bombonera is the Boca Juniors stadium and a whole hotbed on match days. The Proa Foundation is a museum of modern art with temporary exhibitions and views of the old docks.

Puerto Madero is a renovated neighborhood that faces the bay. Its renovated redbrick buildings house exclusive grills frequented by tourists and businessmen at lunchtime. There are also modern skyscrapers with multinationals and luxury apartments. The lakes in the area are surrounded by trails, as is the ecological reserve Costanera Sur, very popular with runners and families. The elegant Woman suspension bridge connects the ports.
The Teatro Coln is an opera house in the city of Buenos Aires. Due to its size, acoustics and trajectory, its considered one of the five best in the world. According to a survey conducted by the acoustic expert Leo Beranek and outstanding international opera and orchestra directors, the Teatro Coln has the hall with the best acoustic for opera and the second best for concerts in the world.Comparable with the most important lyrical rooms in the world, such as the Scala in Milan, the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, the State Opera of Vienna, the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden) in London and the Paris Opera, it is an unequivocal place of consecration for those who present themselves in it and an inescapable place for music lovers.
Retiro is a neighborhood with great diversity and quiet streets. Art galleries and chic coffee shops lead to the emblematic and busy train station of Retiro, British style and surrounded by fast food stalls. The art deco tower of the Kavanagh building offers views of the Plaza San Martn, a steep park where office employees rest in the shelter of jacaranda and patriotic monuments. Tourists flock to the Florida pedestrian street for its leather goods boutiques, souvenir stalls and tango dancers.
Recoleta is a thriving area, ideal for walking, known for its Parisian-style terraced houses, ancient lavish palaces and luxurious boutiques. One of the main attractions is the Recoleta Cemetery, which houses extravagant tombs of national icons, such as Eva Pern. The National Museum of Fine Arts exhibits masterpieces by Argentine artists, and the Recoleta Cultural Center offers temporary avant-garde exhibitions. In the Plaza Francia, with lawn areas, there is a craft market on weekends.

    Glad we booked this tour. It gave a nice overview of Buenos Aires and was interesting. The tour guide was a bit hard to understand but the stops made were excellent. Being semi private was also nice in these Covid days. There were 12 people on the tour.

    O passeio, não é bem semi privativo. pois foram várias pessoas, com tempo limitado. a dica é fazer o passeio individual.

    Tour guide pick up was on time. Guide asked us questions about what we knew about Argentina, but seemed uninterested in our responses. While we realize Argentina has its problems, the guide could have been more upbeat about the country's positives, of which there are many. The tour did hit the high points of what to see in the City--Plaza de Mayo, La Casa Rosada, La Recoleta Cemetery . The high point for us was strolling through El Caminito in La Boca and learning about the history of the area.

    I would recommend this tour, as it gave me a good idea of the main areas in Buenos Aires. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Try to book this on your first day in the city - if you can.
