Alain was prompt to make contact; was waiting for us at the meeting point ahead of time; was enthusiastic about his walk; was very knowledgeable about the street art and local area; happily shared interesting facts about the neighbourhood. Having said that, the tour was a little expensive for the length and what we saw. Had I realised cost was quoted in Euros not local currency I definitely would not have booked it. My oversight. Palermo street art

Wir haben schon viele Touren bei withlocals, AirBNB und getyourguide gebucht, aber diese Tour war vom Preis-Leistungsverhältnis die mit Abstand schlechteste Tour, die wir bisher hatten. Aida war eine nette Person, aber die Leistung, die sie erbracht hat, war leider den relativ hohen Preis für die Tour nicht wert. Schade, wir hatten uns auf eine tolle Tour gefreut, aber es war leider nur unteres Mittelmaß ohne Hingabe und Engagement. Sorry Aida, aber das war nichts.Wir waren insgesamt schon sehr enttäuscht

Alain is a terrific conversationalist. I could have talked to him for hours. He is quite knowledgeable about the street art scene as well as the political, cultural and social history of Argentina and his evident passion for the subject makes his tour exciting. Being a Cuban emigre makes him quite unique and offers a particularly interesting perspective. He is very friendly and eager to please and so was happy to adapt the tour and pickup to our needs. Alain is Excellent

Buenos Aires has some amazing street art, but I had no idea of the stories behind it. Aida took us through some amazing neighborhoods and knew so much about the artists and the stories behind the murals. She also took us to some amazing neighborhoods and local shops and markets along the way. Highly recommend this tour with Aida!Amazing, hidden side of Buenos Aires

Too often we wonder around a foreign place truly not understanding what we’re seeing blindly looking at sites. The murals and street art in Buenas Aires tell wonderful stories and document events of a certain time if you know the history and context. Ines was a charming guide with excellent English who shared so much of her city, country and culture with us as we enjoyed learning about the murals which are indeed fascinating street art. We would highly recommend Ines for this tour. The experience enriched our visit on multiple levels.Buenos Aires Street Art

Ines was a terrific tour guide. She not only showed us some thought-provoking street art, but answered all of our questions about life in Argentina thoughtfully and enthusiastically. She was even willing to talk about some of her personal experiences as a portena, and how her beautiful, complicated city compares to others. We felt comfortable with her immediately, and she thoroughly entertained and educated not only myself and my husband, but our adolescent kids as well. Muchisimas gracias, Ines!Wonderful off-the-beaten path experience

Veronica was kind enough to step in last minute and also helped battle the rain. Veronica made sure that we were able to see as many spots and artwork as possible. She’s passionate about art and her city, has excellent command of English and explained details I would never have noticed otherwise. I would highly recommend this tour with Veronica. Rain didn’t stop the fun or learning!

My partner and I took a wonderful art tour with Veronica and saw several amazing and well-executed murals in a section of the city that we otherwise would probably not have visited. The murals were in a wide variety of different styles, and each one felt unique. Veronica showed pictures of some of the artist's other works, and so you had a good sense of their individual styles. Our discussions were thought-provoking, and we were able to recognize elements of one mural that featured plants from our home (SW United States) which was unexpected and showed the wide variety of influences that these artists had. Overall, a fun and memorable tour!Fun walking tour exploring street art

Verónica is an excellent guide and teaches you about so many aspects of life in Buenos Aires and its history in a fascinating and interesting way. As someone who knows the city well, I was looking to learn about new areas and Verónica was fantastic in tailoring the itinerary accordingly. It really was a pleasure to spend time with her and I’ll definitely book with her again next time I’m there. The best way to learn about Buenos Aires!

The experience with Verónica was GREAT. She was very communicative and attentive. On the day of our excursion, she was punctual, funny, super knowledgeable, and ready to answer all our questions even on topics that may not be considered comfortable (i.e. political situations, wars, etc). Aside from that she was very interested in knowing about where we came from and was very sweet with our two teen agers. Verónica for the win all the way!Great experience!

We enjoyed having Veronica show us a part of Buenos Aires and local art that we would not have otherwise discovered as it was not on the main tourist trail. The stories about the art and artists were interesting and we enjoyed visiting an old home and furniture restorer and the antique markets. It was also good to be able to book a time that suited us rather than fitting in with larger tour groups. Interesting tour

Our experience with Veronica in Buenos Aires was very special. Veronica made it very special. I give my highest recommendation and suggest you contact her directly through the WithLocals website before you go to help customize you visit. Our group of four spent two full days with Veronica. Prior to our arrival she asked what other plans we had and taking those into consideration, she coordinated with another WithLocals food tour guide to make sure there was no overlap in the three itineraries. In addition, she got us tickets to the best tango show in town with a discount that is only available to professional tour guides. And since we wanted to attend a classical music performance at Theatre Colon, and we couldn’t buy the tickets ourselves over the internet, she went to the theater before we arrived, stood in line and got us great balcony seats. Before our visit, she made many recommendations that helped improve the value of our experience. She is very conscientious and very competent. Veronica also explained the weird money exchange situation in Buenos Aires. I won’t go into it here, but believe me when I say that a U.S greenback is worth almost twice as much as $1 from a credit card. Look into blue money before you go and you will be taking a lot more cash than you thought you would. Our hotel helped us with the exchange. There is nothing illegal about this, apparently. The price she was charging for her services seemed low in comparison to other tours we’ve been on. Because of that and the superior service and value she provided, we gave her a terrific tip. I bet you will feel the same way. Make it US cash. Veronica loves Buenos Aires and it show in her presentation. She is a well-educated world traveler with perfect English diction who keeps you engaged throughout the experience. Because Veronica is university trained as a professional tour guide, there will be no seat-of-the-pants presentation by an unqualified guide as we’ve experienced in other cities. She will evaluate your interests and customize the time to your desires. If you are going to Buenos Aires, you can’t go wrong with Veronica! You will not find a better guide than Veronica!

Nicolas is a great tour guide. He knows his murals, but knows how to sketch a vivid context when describing the origin stories. He is fond of history and intricacies of the Argentinan people, very informative and sometimes funny to hear! Besides all this Nicolas is a really nice GUI who is really flexible (we had to postpone our tour, were late due to traffic and had to leave a bit early due to our departing flight). Go do a tour with Nico! StevenInformative, all-around great experience

This was the best decision we did in all our past vacations. To discover a city and get to know all the best places (of course must sees but not within the visit hours from groups) and absolutely insights and hidden spots….wow. Vero is an amazing person she is a real local and know everything about history, culture, economy….of her country and city where she was born. We hang out with her in the evening on an amazing rooftop bar and enjoyed every minute. We really really recommend Vero as your guide you will love her. Thank you for creating all the specials. You made our trip unforgettable. The best local ever!!!!
