Local guides show you the city that never sleeps, with their stories and secrets. They now also offer private tours which is a great way to see the city if you have limited time and are unable to join their regular group. For the free Buenos Aires tours you have to show up at the meeting points: -11 AM PLAZA DEL CONGRESO (Rivadavia Ave and Rodriguez Pena St) -5 PM at PLAZA SAN MARTIN (Santa Fe Ave and Maipu St, beside the horse monument). Both tours are different! « less

We had a fantastic walking tour of the architecture of Buenos Aires with a knowledgeable, enthousiastic and outspoken guide named Sol. She brought her beloved city alive for us. We did the afternoon tour (didn't have time for the morning history walk). We highly recommend it. You will see BA through the eyes of a local, and she is willing... More

Sol and Gaston each led the afternoon/morning tour respectively - both were enthusiastic and friendly guides. They covered different areas of BA and as such the associated history (e.g. the afternoon tour finished at the Recoleta cemetry at which Eva Peron was buried; whereas the morning tour covered the Plaza de Mayo where the mothers and grandmothers of those who...

We thoroughly enjoyed the commentary from our witty and insightful guide, Gaston. The tour gave us a much better insight into BA's history, and social and political life. Highly recommended. More

I did both tours and was very pleased! I had been in BsAs for 3 months when i decided to go and finally do the tours. Their explanations were very good, very dynamic and fun. I recommend both these tours. P.s: People don't be cheap! Leave the guides tips! More

We have recently come home from a two week stay in BA. We arrived on a Sunday and decided that the first thing we would do on Monday would be to take the free tour. We were not all that familiar with BA and its history, so we wanted to get our bearings before exploring over the next couple of... More

We took the morning tour on our first day, and did the afternoon tour a few days later. Both tours were fantastic. We loved the guides (Virginia for the AM, Camilla for the PM). They were knowledgeable and had great passion for BsAs. Totally great way to be introduced to this wonderful and unique city. More

It's free because you pay at the end what you can afford and think the tour is worth to you. We thoroughly enjoyed both the 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. tours which cover different parts of Buenos Aires. Be prepared to walk, though. Carry water and snacks, if you usually do and dress for the weather/time of year. Both young... More

We decided to do this tour with our 4 yo daughter on our first day in BA. Our guide, Bia, was fantastic. She seemed to be very experienced, entertaining and most of all...patient with the only child joining the tour. The toilette breaks were well received! I highly recommend families (maybe younger children in a pram) to take this tour... More

We did the 11am tour recently and it was great. It focuses on the historic sector centre part of the city, National Congresso down Avenida de Mayo (finishing at the Oblesik). The best part is Gaston's knowledge and the insight you get to Argentina today, plus history and how Portenos live - plus he can give you tips on Tango... More
