Rosana was everything you would like in a guide. We learned so much about Buenos Aires and Argentina. She spoke excellent English and went at our pace. I had a major problem with a tooth and she recommended ane excellent oral surgeon. I just can't say enough good about her. Fabulous guide

Our tour with Aida was nothing short of amazing. This was my third trip to the city, and while I’d taken tours of the city in the past, Aida’s tour was by far the best- she really introduces you to the heart and soul of Buenos Aires. While we covered the usual historical highlights, Aida introduced us to parts of the city that really brought the magic of Buenos Aires alive. We had toured with Aida the prior day, and from that she figured out what we liked and customized the tour to include some really special visits. Aida also recommended some amazing restaurants that were off the tourist trail, we felt like real Porteños, and the food was amazing.
I highly, highly recommend touring Buenos Aires with Aida. The soul of Buenos Aires

My husband and I did the Buenos Aires Highlights/Hidden Gems tour and a food tour with Rosana. She is so knowledgeable and speaks great English. She was a joy to be with. She took us to so many places we would have never found on our own. She also gave us recommendations of what to do and where to eat. All of her suggestions were amazing. She's a delight and I'd do another tour with her anytime! Fantatic tours of Buenos Aires

This city tour met all our expectations. In a few hours we visited many of the best areas within Buenos Aires as we covered almost approx 12km. She tailored the tour to best meet the things we were most interested in.
Being a one-on-one tour, we loved the constant conversation we were able to have with Ines. Ines was knowledgeable about all the areas we visited, answering the constant barrage of questions we had. She was able to offer lots of suggestions for dining options too.
We appreciated how Ines freely shared her perspective on what it was like to live in Buenos Aires. We enjoyed hearing about the things she loved most about Buenos Aires, and also some of the challenges many face.
An authentic experience and the best way to get to know a new city.
An authentic Buenos Aires experience.

Rosanna was a knowledgeable and engaging guide who gave my wife and I a great tour of San Telmo and Independence Square and the Pink Palace.
We learned so much about Buenos Aires and its history and culture. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the city. Rosanna makes it come to life.

El recorrido con Verónica nos dejó más que satisfechos, sabe bastante historia sobre la ciudad de Buenos Aires y el país en general. Sin duda haber recorrido el casco histórico por nuestra cuenta no habría sido lo mismo, o con otro tipo de recorrido exprés por bus. La recomiendo muchísimo si quieres hacer turismo de verdad y saber el cómo y el por qué de la ciudad.😁Una experiencia imperdible

Aida was welcoming and friendly with a wealth of knowledge on the history, buildings, monuments, art, sport & culture of Buenos Aires and Argentina. She shared her culinary knowledge of restaurants and entertainment in the district and set us up with more places to check out and visit according to our interests. Would definitely recommend going with Aida to learn about the history and local culture and customs here in Buenos Aires.A Great Experience

Rosana was the perfect guide for our tour around BA! Family of five (including teenager and 2 uni students). First time visitors and switching to this part of the world coming from the other side of the world. All were excited to see this part the city. The combination of short stops for additional info during the walk was perfect. Rosana is very knowledgeable on the history and architecture of BA, and has lots of other local stories. She had tips for us on where to get wonderful dairy-free ice cream and introduced us to a vegan version of an Argentina delicacy! A great start of our visit to BA and we even got tips for places to visit in our next couple of days here. Thank you Rosana! Fabulous!

We are a family of five and booked our tour the night before with Julieta. Wow, what a surprise!! She exceeded our expectations. She is well versed in all things Argentina, engaging, funny and a true delight. One of our daughters was not feeling well and she also helped us navigate the pharmacy. If you are looking for a personalized tour, Julieta will not disappoint. We all enjoyed our time with her.Great time with Julieta!!

Rosana was very friendly and knew a lot about the current BA as well as the history of BA.
She is the perfect example of what “with locals” is about. No tourist tour about highlights of a city but a personal and tailor made tour.
She is the best! Love her all the way. Fabulous

Ines is a fabulous guide! She provided us a wonderful introduction to Buenos Aires with the view of a porteña. Along the way, we had great conversation and we especially appreciated how engaged she was with our 15-year old son in both English and Spanish. It was a nice opportunity for him to practice Spanish and pick up some new words and sayings while learning more about the city and local culture. She left us with some great suggestions for restaurants and local shops. We would 100% recommend her as your guide!

She kept the adults and the teens engaged the entire time with interesting stories and facts. Time flew by! She knew the best routes to take, food to try, and places to take photos as well. We learned so much and had the best time due to her incredible personality and wealth of knowledge. Don't miss out on spending a few hours with her when here.Incredible tour of BA with Rosana

We had an amazing tour of the city with Ines! Yes, we saw the more famous tourist sites, but the history and color she added was invaluable. Growing up and living here, she described some of the famous events first hand or, as learned by the local papers or in school. No other type of tour could have provided the richness of descriptions and the ability to understand real life here. This is the type of tour that sets this experience part from any other you could experience. If you are in town, don't miss an opportunity to walk around town with Ines and learn all about this beautiful city! The ONLY way to see Buenos Aires!
