We were in BA two years ago and Rosana took us on a tour walking around the southern side of the city then. Now on our second visit, we booked her again, and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with her. She is so knowledgeable and interesting – and a lovely personality as well! We would highly recommend a tour with her!Highly recommend Rosana!

Rosana was an so warm, informative and just all round amazing both in her communication leading up to our meeting as well as the tour itself. We had requested getting ourselves acquainted with the history and culture of Argentina given it is our first visit to the country as well as getting a sense of the city. We had a really wonderful time seeing the sights as well as a good idea of areas and things to do in the upcoming days. Rosana ensured that we were comfortable (it was an hot day) and answered all our questions thoughtfully. She suggested some gems of our favorite foods and drinks. I would highly recommend Rosana for any and all things Buenos Aires!!!Amazing introduction to Buenos Aires

Rosana was great - super friendly and accommodating. She gave us a great walking tour on our first day in BA, despite our jet lag and red eye bleariness. We covered a lot of ground - both walking around town and discussing many topics relevant to BA and Argentina today. She offered some great recommendations we were able to check out during the rest of our stay, and took us to a great bar/ restaurant to end our tour. Highly recommended!

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!

This was so much more than a food tour. Rosana was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Buenos Aires. She tailored the experience to our interests and her English was impeccable. This was truly a perfect way to spend 3 hrs exploring the city center and sampling the Argentine food. Excellent way to see the city

We had a great time with her, thoroughly enjoying the tour. She spoke perfect English which is good because our language skills are non existent. We had the opportunity with Rosana to explore the historic and financial districts of Buenas Aires while eating and drinking local favorites. Pretty perfect! We highly recommend her as a guide and a new friend!We loved our food/drink tour with Rosana

It was a great pleasure to meet Ines and we had a wonderful time with her.
As first timers in BA we asked Ines to provide us with an overview. Ines managed perfectly to show us the highlights of the city and give us an idea about Argentine history, culture, living and eating.
For this purpose we can highly recommend Ines. She is very friendly, flexible and knowledgeable and it is just
lovely to spend time with her.

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.

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

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

We had a wonderful time spending the day with Rosana. We visited all the major sites in the city and finished with a fascinating tour of La Boca a few hours before Boca Juniors were kicking off - a great experience seeing all the local football fans arrive for the match!
She took us for coffee, lunch and snacks in places which gave us the real Buenos Aires experience. Her extensive knowledge was really helpful, not just on the tour but in setting us up for the rest of the trip.
We highly recommend Rosana - you won’t get a better guide in Buenos Aires. An amazing day with Rosana

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

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.

Veronica was great and up to a couple scheduling and itinerary challenges. We had already done the 3 hour bus tour of Buenos Aires as part of a pre-cruise extension. We did the 5 hour Buenos Aires tour with Veronica during a post-cruise free day and she provided a great alternative mostly walking path through some areas the bus didn't visit or the bus just pointed to out the window. Veronica even had us revisit a couple places for a more in depth experience. We also enjoyed being able to chat with Veronica and ask questions while walking which isn't something that's possible during a larger group bus tour. Very personable and well informed

We had a longish stay over in Buenos Aires and instead of airport boredom we decided to spend the day in the city. Given very tight timeline we decided for a guided experience to get more out of the day. And it worked out beautifully! We managed to see a lot and get tons of insight to lives of people in Buenos Aires and Argentina. Rosana was incredibly knowlegeable and able to discuss and share insight to a very wide spectrum of things. This was incredibly well spent time and exceeded our expectation. She picked us up from the airport and returned us there very happy and ready to take a long flight to Europe. Thank you Rosana!!!Great sights and insight to Buenos Aires!

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
