You will see/visit all the main sites but remember, this is a private tour so if there's something you're interested in, let your guide know. Our guide Diego was beyond accommodating to us and so very knowledgeable; we learned so much about the history, as well as current state of Buenos Aires and we were able to tailor our experience to fit our timeline and desired attractions.

Itinerary
The Woman’s Bridge, one of the emblems of the Puerto Madero neighborhood, is the first work in Latin America by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and represents yet another example of the City’s ongoing quest to position itself at the forefront of art and architecture throughout the region. It is a rotating pedestrian bridge with one of the largest turning mechanisms in the world, designed to allow the passage of sailing boats that navigate the docks of Puerto Madero. The work, made in Spain and donated to the City by an individual, depicts the image of a couple dancing tango, where the white mast symbolizes the man and the curved silhouette of the bridge is the woman.
The church of the Lady of the Pillar is a basilica located in the neighborhood of Recoleta in Buenos Aires; once it was part of the convent of Franciscans Recollectos. Its construction, completed in 1732, is due to the Aragonese patron Juan de Narbonne
It is a palace located in front of the Plaza de Mayo that functions as the seat of the National Government. This imposing pink building occupies the plot where the Fort of Buenos Aires was erected in 1580. It was the residence of the Spanish viceroys and then housed, with some reforms, the authorities of successive national governments. The current building is the product of the merger of two previous constructions: the presidential headquarters and the Post Office Palace (on the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Balcarce).
Argentina is famous worldwide for its Meat, Wine and Leathers. Visit the largest and oldest leather factory in Buenos Aires City, with a showroom of more than 300 square meters.
San Telmo is a neighborhood located in Commune 1 of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is comprised of Chile, Av. Ingeniero Huergo, Av. Brasil, Av. Paseo Colón, Av. Martín García, Defensa, Av. Caseros and Piedras streets, although surrounding areas fall into the same designation for commercial or real estate purposes. It is bordered by the neighborhoods of Monserrat to the north, Puerto Madero to the east, La Boca to the southeast, Barracas to the southwest and Constitución to the west. At just 1.2 km2, San Telmo is the smallest neighborhood in Buenos Aires City. San Telmo (by San Pedro González Telmo) is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires City. Together with nearby Monserrat it is known as "Barrio Sur", as opposed to the "Barrio Norte" of Retiro and San Nicolás. You can still hear Rio Plata rhythms like tango and candombe in its streets.
Recognized by various international media as one of the most emblematic football stadiums in the world, and declared of “sporting, tourist and cultural interest of the city of Buenos Aires”, it was inaugurated on May 25, 1940. Diego Armando Maradona defined this stadium as “The Temple of the Mouth”. Also, various sports glories such as Pelé, Zico, Andrés Iniesta and Thierry Henry, among others, have declared that the stadium of Boca Juniors lives a good experience. The stadium has a capacity for 40,000 seated and 57,000 seated and standing spectators.
Caminito is the most famous pedestrian street in Buenos Aires. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city due to its colorful houses and its deep historical and cultural significance. Caminito is located in the popular neighborhood of La Boca, on the coast of the Riachuelo River and just 400 meters from La Bombonera, the stadium of Boca Juniors. This is a 150-meter long pedestrian promenade where you can see important artistic works.
The Ateneo Grand Splendid was chosen by the British newspaper The Guardian as the second largest bookstore in the world. Built on the old Grand Splendid cinema in the Recoleta district, it retains its old splendour and elegance, with the frescoed dome, original railings and intact decoration. On the old stage - with the velvet curtain ajar - there is a bar that invites you to sit book in hand. You can also take advantage of the armchairs that are on both sides of the main room or be located in the exclusive boxes that double as small reading rooms. There is a children’s book sector in the basement, and the upper floor is dedicated to exhibitions and exhibitions.
This imposing 20-meter tall sculpture that dominates the United Nations square was donated to the City of Buenos Aires by its author, the Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano. It is made of stainless steel and aluminum and weighs 18 tons. It is the first sculpture in motion controlled by a hydraulic system and photoelectric cells. The work was inaugurated on 13 April 2002. Its name, “Floralis Generica”, is a tribute to all flowers. It is the projection of a dream of its creator, that of building a large-scale structure that reflects the dynamism of our time. - At each tourist spot you will go down and have between 15 and 20 minutes to take photos. - The guide will be with you at all times and will help you in each photo - He will tell you the whole story of Buenos Aires and how it developed over the years. - Meet the most beautiful bookstore in the world
Inside the Parque 3 de Febrero, in Palermo, is the Rosedal, with a collection of more than 18,000 roses and a lake that surrounds it. It occupies a space that belonged to the fifth of Juan Manuel de Rosas, until it was defeated on February 3, 1852 in the Battle of Caseros. The work began with the landscape designer Carlos Thays, who built the Botanical Garden, Parque Avellaneda and Parque Lezama, among others. Then his disciple Benito Carrasco finished it in 1914.

I can’t say enough! Diego was our guide and the tour was great and comprehensive. Great recommendations for dinner. We had the best time
We had only one day in Buenos Aires and opted for this tour to get the most of the limited time in the city. Diego was super proactive, responsive and patient and we enjoyed every minute of the tour! We have seen so many interesting places and got a first good overview of the city. Diego was very open, welcoming and shared also about himself and his family which created a fun, entertaining and authentic atmosphere! Looking forward to being back taking him up on the offer to share an asado!
We had a fun and informative trip with Diego. It felt personal and well tailored to get a glimpse of the city. Would recommend this in case you either are short on time or want to get a good first impression of several places in the city.
Diego is great! Very friendly and knowledgeable. This was our second trip to Buenos Aires and the second time we worked with Diego. He also went out of his way to help us with some logistics and met us at a bus stop to pick up our luggage and deliver it to the hotel so we didn’t have to worry about it. Diego will arrange anything you need!
I recently moved to Argentina and took a tour with Diego and it was such a great experience. He knows so much about Buenos Aires and its history, and he shared tons of interesting stories and little details I’d never heard before. Even though I’ve been living here for a bit, I discovered so many new things about the neighborhoods and local culture. Diego is super friendly and easy to talk to, and he really made the tour fun. Definitely recommend him if you want to get to know the city better!
This was pur first day in Buenos Aires, the tour was fantastic. We travel a lot and always make a city tour to know the highligths. This was the best and more funny tour we ever made. Thanks to Diego that make our first day a memorable experience.
My husband and I have used this agency the last few times we went to Buenos Aires and they're top notch! Will definitely use them on our next visit.
Excellent services your guides are knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and explained everything in detail. The allowed sufficient time to explore the areas we visited. Overall a great experience
This business gave us a great tour of BA. Picked up from our hotel, we were taken to the highlights of this amazing City. Together with providing information about the sites, we were given insightful information about the history of the City by our knowledgeable guide. Given the numerous places to see, our guide made sure we got to see the things we really wanted to see. We were also given time to do short walking tours at certain locations, where they were inaccessible by vehicle.. We also received great tips on various eateries and a particularly good ice-cream parlour. I have subsequently recommended this business to relatives, who in turn had a similar great experience. So our experience clearly wasn't a "one off".
Diego was a great guide. Very informative about his city, showed us all the main sites and gave us lots of suggestions for other places to visit during our stay. Great fun.
It was a surprise because we weren't initially looking for a guide, but he just happened to fall into our itinerary. The guide was very pleasant and gave us timely tips throughout the tour, as well as a pleasant conversation. Knowing where we were going, he offered to book one of the boat tours in the TIGER DELTA in advance, which was very helpful. He also gave us a tip on how to get back by public transportation, making the most of the trip and the scenery. He truly is a remarkable guide. Congratulations, Diego.
Diego was knowledgeable, kind, safe and knew all the great places and stories to share about real life in Argentina. Would use Diego every time!
Very Detailed and Personalized, the tour was by van but there was excellent stops and walking. Our guide was Diego but he became out friend very quickly! It was our first day in Buenos Aires and what a great way to start... We covered so many different parts of the city and enjoyed the local culture and history. Diego was funny and smart and just an absolute delight to be with... Excellent bilingual skills. We travel a lot and we thoroughly enjoy taking tours and this was one of our best,! Sit back, relax, enjoy, learn and have fun!!
Just loved Buenos Aires and a lot of that was due to our guide Carlos , he was very passionate about his city and his knowledge was second to none
We saw all the best spots of a big city like Buenos Aires, Diego our tour guide had the best sense of humor! I really enjoy seeing the bookstore
Buenos Aires what's an amazing city. Just wish I had more time to stay longer Our guide Carlos was an excellent guide very knowledgeable very friendly and very funny. He recommended some fantastic restaurants and other things to do in Buenos Aires while we were there. He made the experience just that little bit more enjoyable. The food the wine was excellent. I can't wait to go back again and get to see more of the city I didn't have time to see
