Rosana was an exceptional tour leader. We experienced a variety of wonderful eateries all the while she shared her knowledge of the history of the City and Argentina more broadly. She encourages questions, dialogue and curiosity. We walked through several neighborhoods and great ideas for how to spend the next 3 days in BA. We strongly recommend spending time with Rosana.Fantastic experience with Rosana

We met Inez the afternoon after we landed in BA. It was our first visit to the city and I thought the tour would be a good introduction to the food and the area around our hotel. At our first stop Inez introduced us to traditional Argentinian sweets, but also to the ritual of Mate. She brought her own set up and I really appreciated sharing that experience with her. The other food stops were good, and she introduced us to a few other typical foods, which we might not have otherwise experienced. By far the best part of the tour was meeting Inez and chatting with her about BA and her life there, and learning about the history of the city. The cost was significant for the two person tour, and not so much reflected in the food choices, but it felt like we were spending the afternoon with a friend and can't put a value on that.BA afternoon with Inez

I always begin each international trip with a food tour so I can get a lay of the land. Aida had us meet at a very famous plaza and showed me to several classic places! Her energy clearly showed her passion and enthusiasm for sharing stories about local history, art, travel, and culture. I arrived with a few special requests and she very easily weaved that into our tour route, which was quite lovely. The tastings immediately gave me an idea of the types of food I wanted to have more of on my trip while the locations showed me places I must revisit for more shopping! Midway through the tour, I made a request for a different drop off point and again, she took this in stride and effortlessly showed me to the location upon our departure. It was quite nice to see how Aida was able to build a meaningful connection with me in such short order and I left our tour with a very full stomach AND feeling like I met a new friend. Amazing experience and introduction to the beautiful Buenos Aires! Awesome Intro to Buenos Aires

Rosanna was an incredible tour guide. She picked perfect places all over the city center to show us a good time. She was mindful of vegetarian options for me. My husband eats everything and she ensured he had great options also. Rosanna became like a friend. A lot of conversation regarding cultures, histories, language, food, and even some moments of personal sharing was so special. It was comfortable asking some hard questions about politics and economy and she did it with grace. My favorite place was the ice cream but the first place with the miga was amazing as well. She continued to share recommendations for the city and was exceptional with her English, remained respectful, was fun and went above and beyond our expectations. Rosanna is the best and I can't wait to tell everyone about why she's the best local guide for your trip!! Incredible experience

Sunday afternoon walking around Buenos Aires and the San Telmo area with Aida -- perfection! We had the best time! This was an ideal way to see the street fair and the market. It was so busy, but less daunting when you have a professional local guide. All the food we ate was excellent, and chosen with expert care. Thanks, Aida, for making our last day in Buenos Aires fantastic!Fantastic!

Ines met us on time, and took us four on a walking Food tour thru Buenos Aires. We got to visit the cities iconic and established eateries and cafes, with a guide who was welcomes with open arms. Deserts, drinks, tasty and savoury foods were all on the menu, including a conversation about the background and history of each item, and it's place in popular culture in the city. As we strolled, we also got a detailed account of the neighborhoods we were in, the people of the region, and a solid understanding of the country overall. Ines is also very cool and hip, but extremely polite, respectful and considerate. We never felt rushed and at the end of the evening, we felt like we had gained a new family member. Highly recommended. Very good experience with a lovely guide!

It was pouring rain for most of our tour but Aida was a great at pointing out the history amd we had great stops to try local food and drink She checked in with us to see how we were doing with walking in the rain over the slippery streets and gave us her umbrella. The city is full of culture and she highlighted all the background to us as well as describing the importance of food into the culture Would definitely recommend spending a few hours of your vacation with her Aida was a terrific guide!

(About local Verónica)

12 February 2025

Our tour guide was Veronica. The first impression was not good when the tour guide Veronica arrived 30 mins late., she did try to contact us, but without internet or phone access this was no good. The tour started with a walk around the historic building explaining the history of Buenos Aires. We saw the changing of the guard was good to see, but took up nearly an hour of the tour. Then started the food tour, first visit was a fast-food shop that sold filled churros, another deep-fried pastry and cheese chipa balls. Rather than having one each these cut into two or four pieces just to have a taste, we had cheese chipa each, and a cup of coffee. Next look at a sandwich shop that sold plain sandwiches, we did try any of these, then she showed us a posh coffee and cake café, but we did not have anything there, then more history and then to a pizza café, where we had empanadas and pizza, and a coke. We then walked to an ice cream shop, which was closed, so no ice cream. On all other food tours, we've also tried local alcoholic drinks. She appeared in a rush to get to another appointment. She spent a lot of time talking about herself, how good she was as a translator, historian and all her qualifications etc. Also wanted to know what days we were free to sell us more events, which was uncomfortable. Not really what we were expecting when you think of the wide variety of food unique to Argentina. So basically, it was a historic tour with some food, not the 10 Tastings of Buenos Aires. As described in the link below. https://www.withlocals.com/experience/the-10-tastings-of-buenos-aires-1b165bc9/ We have done quite a few food tours of various cities across the world and this was the worst food tour we have ever had, will not be using with locals again.Tour was not as expected.

My wife and I took at 10 tasting tour with Julieta and it was a wonderful way to learn more about Buenos Aires, enjoy the food, and understand the culture of the people living there. Julieta is a bundle of energy! From the first minute, you can feel the passion she has both for the food and the city she grew up in. She has also worked in other countries (Spain) and was able to contrast two similar yet different culture. From her introduction of Plaza De Mayo to her narrative about each of the eateries we went to, she was able to immerse us into the city. The tour includes the greatest hits in the city center along with all the street food you must try while in BA. We stopped at several eateries that were "must stops" in many guides. This includes La Americana (empanadas), Guerrin (pizza), and Cadore (gelato). At each stop, Julieta made sure that we know the food, why this eatery was chosen, and how to eat it. At a couple of stops, we got beer or wine. This helps with the hot summer day that we were there. I would definitely recommend Julieta as a guide for this tour. There is plenty of food. My wife and I had to asked for half portions at the end of the tour (except for the Gelato). Even if you are not full with the food, you would be full of the same passion Julieta has for her city. A wonderful way to understand Buenos Aires

I found the website tricky to use but that is no reflection on Julieta. great intro to food in Buenos Aires

The 10 Tastings of Buenos Aires walking tour with Ines was fantastic. Besides the fact that Ines is a complete delight to be with, she was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. She started with some mate and two different types of bakery treats, next was a very cool sandwich shop with entertaining service, continuing on with a modern fancy bakery stop, BA's arguably best pizza and empanadas, chorizo sausage sandwich and then ice cream. Be prepared to be hungry before you start, as there was a lot of food. We tasted some and took the rest back to the hotel with us. All in all, this tour with Ines was an 11/10! Highly recommended.

We ate a variety of wonderful foods, she had chosen them to suit our preferences … empanadas, choripan, pastries, sandwiches, ice cream, wine and beer if we wanted … and a few others to give a full flavour of BA. A real treat! Brilliant way to discover BA

We spend an afternoon and early evening with Ines exploring the food scene of Buenos Aries. We had asked her to stay away from the touristy area and show us where the local eat. And that was exactly what she did. We had so much fun exploring BA's culinary gems. Ines was so friendly that we thought we are being hosted by a close family member. It was hard to part with her at end. We strongly recommend her if you are visiting Buenos Aries.Expert and friendly tour guide for BA

Wow, what an unforgettable experience! This food tour in Buenos Aires was nothing short of spectacular, and it was all thanks to our fantastic guide, Ines. From start to finish, Ines went above and beyond to make our culinary adventure not just delicious but also incredibly enjoyable. First, let me say how friendly and welcoming she was. Ines has a warm, bubbly personality that made us feel instantly at ease. Her English was flawless, which was a huge bonus for my wife and I, as she effortlessly shared fascinating insights about the city, its culture, and, of course, its mouthwatering cuisine. The food itself? Simply divine! We started with a classic milanesa sandwich that was perfectly crispy and satisfying. Then came the choripán (chorizo sandwich), which was an explosion of smoky, savory goodness. The fugazza pizza—oh, the layers of flavor! It was a cheesy, oniony masterpiece that I’ll be dreaming about for weeks. But wait, there’s more! The empanadas were flaky and stuffed with delicious fillings that transported us straight to the heart of Argentine comfort food. At a charming, traditional café, we savored baked goods that paired beautifully with a coffee, giving us a true taste of Buenos Aires’ café culture. And just when we thought we couldn’t eat another bite, we ended with creamy, velvety ice cream that was the perfect sweet finale. What made it all even better was how Ines weaved stories and context into every stop. She brought the city’s culinary history to life and made us feel like locals for a day. If you’re in Buenos Aires, this food tour is an absolute must, and having Ines as your guide makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Ines, for such an incredible day—we’ll be recommending this tour to everyone we know! The Best Food Tour with the Amazing Ines!
