About this experience

The service we offer is unique, groups are small and led by wonderful guides (they speak your language!)
On the first descent we will discover Plaza de Mayo, home to the most important historical events of the city since its foundation. Then we will enjoy the oldest residential neighborhood in Buenos Aires: San Telmo, with its antique shops and picturesque atmosphere. Then we will live the taste of tango arrabalero in the neighborhood of La Boca: we will tour the colorful Caminito and pass through the glorious stadium of Boca Juniors.
And if it comes to contrasts, we will tour Puerto Madero, the youngest neighborhood in the City. From there the next destinations will be the neighborhoods of Retiro and Recoleta.
