Our guide, Natalia, was lovely. So friendly and knowledgeable. She made us all feel very comfortable. We had a wonderful food and drink tour around the neighbourhood of Palermo Soho. She explained a lot about the cuisine, the culture and the history. Her English is excellent. I can not recommend her highly enough. Thank you 🤩

Itinerary
We'll start with a typical Porteño breakfast here: coffee and medialunas. Some guests opt for a submarino (warm milk with two chocolate bars you stir in yourself) or tea.
Fantastic architecture, sculptures, and plant life. This is a true oasis in the middle of all the bustle. Inside, we walk through several art installations and hear their stories unfold: a bronze street scene from Roman-era Naples, a Mercury statue with a message about commerce and religion, the most controversial sculpture in the park (with a genuinely wild ownership history), and a recreation of the mate plantation Carlos Thays used to jumpstart Argentina's mate industry.
Originally this was the gateway into Palermo Forest and the starting point of the first trolleys in Buenos Aires. One of the oldest monuments in the country is located here: a 2,000-year-old Roman column from the Roman Forum, gifted to the city by Rome in 1955. Nearby is the Garibaldi statue, where we pause for a toast with the Garibaldi cocktail. Here we also see the first street art of the day, a mural by Martín Ron on a building that's part of the Sociedad Rural Argentina.
This is one of the local, non-touristy grills where we stop for a traditional steak lunch, typically bife de chorizo with puré mixto. Vegetarian, pescatarian, and chicken options are available for guests who don't eat red meat.
Originally the site of a gasometer that dominated the neighborhood skyline. Since then it's been a park favored by locals and home to farmers markets and artisan markets on the weekends. The plaza itself carries a layered history: it was first named for a military campaign against Argentina's indigenous population, then renamed to honor Armenian immigrants who fled genocide, and today its plaques bear the names of Argentines of Armenian descent who were disappeared during the military dictatorship. From here we also talk about the Madres de Plaza de Mayo and the United States' role in the region. Around this area we visit a couple more food stops and explore side streets filled with street art, many of which don't show up separately on the map.
This is where we end the tour with gelato. Antiche Tentazioni is an Italian-style gelateria in Palermo Soho, made fresh in-house with no artificial colors or flavoring, and one of the better gelato spots in the city. Depending on the day we sometimes finish at a different heladería nearby instead.

Such a fantastic day with Natalia as the guide on our food and walking tour around Palermo. We started with coffee and pastries, walked to the botanical gardens, several other gardens, stopped at multiple places for food. Natalia is incredibly knowledgable and clearly has a lot of passion for her job and for learning. She is very warm and friendly and taught us lots of interesting facts about Argentina and Buenos Aires. Tasty steak for lunch, the cheese and onion empanada for the next meal was the best, the provaleta was delish, and the gelato stop at the end was excellent!
Had really great experience with Frank on our walking food tour of Palermo Viejo. He was very informative on the history made good local food choices and bar recommendations for beers and wines. He added a lot of personal touches to the tour also which made the tour much more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour.
Great walking trip around a couple of really nice districts of Buenos Aires. Our guide (Natalia) was very knowledgeable and showed us sites (+ food and drink tastings) that were a pleasant change from the norm. We enjoyed her company and lively demeanour and we moved at a nice pace throughout our time with her. One trip to thoroughly recommend.
I recommend Natalia and this tour. A great way to discover Palermo hidden gems in great company of our knowledge guide Natalia. She spoke perfect English and had the passion to present her city with interesting stories and even more interesting artists we met. Food was so tasty and places were for locals and foreigners were welcome, too.
Natalia was an excellent guide. She adjusted the tour to our pace and included areas and places she knew in which we would be interested. All the food included on the tour was authentic and of brilliant quality
A very enjoyable full day with Natalia. It was a great mix of trying local food, walking, history & art. We got to try and learn all about asado and the history of Palermo. It was very hot today (38c), but Natalia found us areas through the day in the shade.
Fantastic tour filled with insights and history, street art, and delicious food, especially the empanadas and ice cream. Natalie is an amazing guide!
This was a walking tour of the Palermo Viejo area of Buenos Aires. Our guide, Frank, was great. He lives in the area and is very knowledgeable of the neighborhood history and great little spots to stop to taste the local food and drink. Since Frank has been living in the area, he knows the artists that have been painting the walls along the streets and will give you interesting background information on the artist and what the street art means. We really enjoyed our day and learned a great deal. It was a fun, easy walk around a local neighborhood. We started at a local bakery for a special type of pastry (this bakery makes the best --sorry forgot the name). It was delicious. Then toured the botanical gardens. From their we stopped at the Garibaldi Monument and Frank had a Garibaldi cocktail for us - very tasty. We walked and talked and ate some more -- BBQ lunch at a local, small grill, some very delicious empanadas --tried a few different types-- and tasted some very tasty craft beers. Almost felt like a local. After we got back to our hotel, Frank was kind enough to send us photos of our day. Highly recommend this tour.
I loved how Frank shared his knowledge and experience when walking through the beautiful areas of Buenos Aires. He was kind and attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him.
It was an interessant visit of the quarter Palermo (Buenos Aires) with a nice Guide, Christina. She explained us the graffitis on the walls and we tasted some specialities like « empanada ». We could discuss about the policy and the economy in south America. We can recommend this tour.
We kicked off our day by meeting Agustín, our incredibly knowledgeable guide, and from the very first moment, we knew we were in for something special. His passion for the city was infectious, and his deep understanding of its history and culture made for an engaging and enriching experience. Agustín’s insights provided a unique perspective, turning every stop into an opportunity to truly connect with the city. Our adventure took an exciting turn as we explored stunning gardens. Agustín’s captivating stories brought the gardens to life, transforming them from tranquil escapes into vibrant, living chapters of the city’s history. Surrounded by lush landscapes, we were swept away by the beauty and the rich tales behind each space. From the gardens, we dove into an unforgettable culinary journey that was just as thrilling. Agustín led us to hidden gems where every dish felt like a new revelation—bold, flavorful, and bursting with tradition. Overall, our day with Asado Adventures was a perfect blend of history, culture, and flavor. This tour isn’t just a way to see the city—it’s an immersive experience that lets you truly feel its spirit. Highly recommend !
Natalia was amazing! I felt bad that we were so tired from our flight. But it was the perfect activity for arriving for our honeymoon! Highly recommend for an introduction to Argentina.
We had Natalia as our guide and she was amazing! She took pictures of everything for us (including the food) and uploaded them to send to us later, which was great. The pacing of the food tour was great as well, with some tours of the nearby botanical gardens in Palermo as well as explanations of various monuments and street art. Natalia also let us try some mate, which was a highlight! We really enjoyed all of the aspects of this tour. It was our first full day in Buenos Aires so this was the perfect introduction to the city, and Natalia left us with several recommendations to try other food, shopping, and other things to do.
Great experience, we did the food tour of Palermo. Wonder guide, very knowledgeable. Food was delicious......authentic cuisine. Scenery was amazing. Highly recommend!!!!!!
Superb experience. Absolute best way to experience the city, and from a local’s perspective. The food selections were thoughtfully crafted with quality in mind. Small local spots that offer the best cuisine Buenos Aires can offer. Your was informative, well paced, and very enjoyable.
I recently had the pleasure of going on a food tour around Buenos Aires with Natalia, and it was hands down one of the best ways to experience the city’s local flavors and culture. From start to finish, Natalia curated an experience that felt truly authentic—like walking through the city with a friend who knows all the best spots.
Great deep dive into BA. Went to places with locals and not many touristas. Natalie did a great job and very knowledgeable and personable.
Excellent food tour with an amazing guide. Our walk around Palermo district was fun and more enjoyable because Cristina, our guide, was so engaging and knowledgeable abut the area. She took us to local coffee and food shops topped off with a great wine tasting followed by fantastic gelato. Cristina’s tour was at an easy going pace that showed off the area’s beautiful street art and Italian infused culture. This was a really nice tour and I would highly recommend it to anyone!
Our guide, Agustin, was wonderful on our full-day walking tour in Palermo. We learned tons about the city, the street art, local food, and more. I’d recommend Asado Adventuea and Agustin to anyone looking for a great day out in Buenos Aires!
Augustino met us at our hotel in the heart of Palermo and spent six hours with us on a wonderful walking tour of the area with stops for different kinds of local food - coffee and pastries, steak, empanadas, provaletta, and ice cream. He was extremely knowledgeable, from Argentine political history to Maradona’s “hand of God” goal against England in 1986. We HIGHLY recommend him!
Excellent food locations, great tour of the neighborhood, especially the street murals and history of the community. Natalia was our guide and was very friendly and informative. Definitely worth doing!
We had a great tour with Natalia! She made our experience relaxing and fun and had such passion for the history of Argentina and Buenos Aires. She was very knowledgeable about the city and takes the time to get to know the artists and to share their stories with us during the tour. Also accommodated our dietary restrictions with grace and was a wonderful hostess. Would recommend!
The tour really helped us get familiar with the area and we learned so much about the history. The food was incredible and we left the tour very full. Natalia was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with!
Natalie our guide was excellent. She ascertained any food allergy information before we started and was conscious of it the entire tour. Her demeanor was outgoing and extremely friendly. She taught us a great deal about the culture and customs of Palermo. Her knowledge of the street art was impressive. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and Natalie's presentation. We would highly recommend this tour.
This tour saved me - I didn't know where to eat in Buenos Aires, what to order, what to see. In fact, I was rather overwhelmed by the possibilities. This tour was great as we started with a light, traditional Argentinian breakfast and proceeded from there. We toured and learned about the Botanical Garden, Palermo Soho with its vibrant street art and progressive community vegetable garden fed by the city's compost and we even learned how difficult it is to score a card to ride public transportation, which, like the rest of the vehicles in the city, is rather crazy as we saw in Plaza Italia. The food was great and it was served in such portions and we did enough walking that it never seemed like too much. We ate at a neighborhood parrilla rather than a tourist trap one. We had amazing cheese at one stop and I discovered my new favorite drink - limonada!! The amount of meals you get and the information you learn and the sites you see for the price is phenomenal. If I had done this one my own, I would have spent significantly more, ordered incorrectly and missed the story behind the sites, not to mention a lot of the sites themselves. I cannot believe what I got for the price. ALL the meals are included in your tour price!
We very much enjoyed this unique local experience with our expert guide, Agustin! It's hard to find an experience that combines history, art, food, wine and great conversation - all in a half day's leisurely stroll around such a beautiful city. It was my wife's favorite part of our time in Buenos Aires! We would highly recommend this casual outing to get a great 'taste' of urban Argentina...
The trio was absolutely mesmerizing, we came not knowing what to exact abdominal from the start our Guide Frank was awesome. We learned about the neighborhood and
We had a fantastic day with Josefina. We explored several parts of Palermo, stopping for amazing food - including black sausage, steak, empanadas and gelato. Josephine was very knowledgeable, providing just the right amount of information and history about the area, making it personable and accessible. We learned a lot from her! I’d highly recommend this company, the communication was great and it was absolutely good value.
We had an amazing time with Frank on our food and wine tour! The food was delicious and we enjoyed it all! Learning about Palermo and Buenos Aires was just what we had in mind but he made it fun and very informative, highly recommend any tour with Frank!
In-depth tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide (Josephina). Cared about our experience and answering our questions. A very enjoyable day that wasn’t rushed and well planned. Would highly recommend to anyone.
A great tour of Palermo and vicinity with Frank who gave us great insights to both the rich local history as well as a wonderful food adventure. The combination of both were just perfect. Made it fun, got in some needed walking and the conversation was wonderful. His ability to customize to what we wanted was the best and we will be returning for much more! P.S. the wine tasting was amazing.
We’re just back from an amazing walking/food tour of Palermo with Frank . It was a wonderful excursion , Frank is extremely knowledgeable of the history of the neighborhoods we browsed through and the food stops were great ! We started with croissants and coffee , had a special juice break in the park, went to a fabulous wine tasting , special sausage lunch, more coffee, and ended our day with gelato ! Frank will plan your tour to fit your agenda . I highly recommend!!
We started our visit to Buenos Aires with this tour and it was so much better than we anticipated it would be! We are so glad we discovered it. Our guide, Josefina, was absolutely wonderful. We started at a small restaurant where we had typical medialunas and my husband had a typical drink, a submarine, which was new to us. While we ate, Josefina learned about us andmour interests and explained the tour to us. Josefina’s English is perfect and she is very knowledgeable about Buenos Aires history, culture, and food. We visited many sites that we would have never seen if it had not been for this tour. Josefina explained to us all about General Garibaldi in Plaza Italia and after giving us some of his history, she pulled out a thermos of Garibaldi drinks! Our tour included a wine tasting which was in a beautiful boutique hotel. We had a delicious steak at a little local place that we would never have chosen on our own. Throughout the tour, Josefina related history in a meaningful way and she was also able to tell us about current events in Argentina. She has a nice sense of humor. The day flew by! After the tour, Frank sent us a beautiful photo album along with more information about monuments and murals we saw. And, Josefina helped me findna store that sells those little white penguin pitchers . This tour is well worth the price. One of the best ever. Go!
Great tour of the Palermo Barreiro. Fernando was an amazing guide for us. He has on one of the best backgrounds I've ever encountered on a tour and a true lover of Buenos Aires. The food was fantastic and we were well taken care of. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting the city.
We do food tours everywhere we travel. It is a unique way to learn about the local culture through food. I reached out to Frank many months ago and he provided me with recommendations and sound advice for enjoying Buenos Aires. This tour was exactly what we hoped based on how well Frank treated us. Fernando was our guide. He was very informative with both the food and the culture. Thank you to the team for welcoming us and showing us the local cuisine. The memories will be discussed for a lifetime. Muchas gracias!
My wife and I booked the Palermo Food and Wine Tour with Asado Adventure Foods. We like the experience of guided food tours, especially when we have never been to that city before. It gives us insight into the history and culture of a place and its people. We booked the tour a year in advance with the owner Frank who was also very helpful providing information on local hotels, sights and restaurants. On the morning of the tour, we were reminded by text where to meet our guide and advised to be sure to dress comfortably and wear a hat as the weather was going to be sunny and very hot. We met our vibrant and engaging guide Natalia at a local restaurant where we enjoyed coffee and pastries while she discussed the days offering. Our day took us to the botanical gardens, where Natalia came prepared with bug spray, just in case, then past local historical sites where she took pictures of us and the sites and told us about the history of what we were seeing. We then moved on to food tastings at several local eateries, places that you would never know to stop at on your own, but at which we enjoyed delicious examples of the local food and Natalia told us about the customs surrounding food and family in Chile. Finally, we stopped for wine tasting at the Miravida Hotel and Wine Bar where Sandra, the most knowledgeable Hotel sommelier shared some delicious wines. Between the food and wine stops, Natalia took us on a tour of local wall art in the Palermo area providing us with information on the history of the area, the artists and Chile. Throughout the tour Natalia made sure to check on our comfort (it was a very hot day) and made sure we had plenty of water and shade. This was an exceptional tour and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. It was worth every peso.
Overall the tour was so much more than we expected. The food was great, the wine tasting that we added on was wonderful, and Frank was a great tour guide. The pictures he took throughout the day, and sent to us at the end of the day was a perfect little extra! Would definitely recommend the tour, and would try any others he has to offer.
Our walking and eating tour of the Palermo Viejo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires with Agustin was fantastic. We started with excellent coffee and medialunas and went on to see many beautiful and interesting things, including the botanic gardens and great street art. Lunch at a local parilla was delicious, and the empanadas we had for afternoon tea at Santa Evita (where we met the chef and heard about his approach to empanada making and regional variations in empanadas) were so good we ended up going back there for dinner on our return to Buenos Aires after a trip elsewhere. We finished with amazing ice cream at Antiche Tentazioni. Don't eat breakfast and don't make a dinner reservation on the day you do this tour! There is a fair amount of walking on this tour but it is a gentle pace and there are no hills. Agustin was a terrific tour guide, with great local knowledge and interesting conversation on all other topics.
We absolutely LOVED our food and street art tour with Natalia!!!! She did an incredible job prepping us for the day, briefing us about each of the spots we'd be visiting, and letting us know how to pace ourselves properly for all of the tasty foods we'd be trying. Natalia ordered for us and explained the background and meaning behind each food/meal so that we could "do as the locals do" and embrace the culture, which was fantastic! She was so flexible and accommodating. If we wanted to spend more or less time at one of the destinations, or stop by a store to get some yerba mate to bring home, she was a huge help and amazing guide. We could have spent all week walking around the city and eating together! The botanical gardens were beautiful, and we loved learning about the each artist of the many street art paintings. The link to all the photos from the tour was an amazing bonus. A major highlight for us was sitting at the lunch table with the owner/chef of El Santa Evita as if we were old friends, and his empanadas were DELICIOUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH NATALIA (and Asado Adventure!)!!!! We hope we get the chance to come back and try more delicious foods!
Matalia was very personable and fun to spend a day with as she showed us her city. The visit to Santa Evita was the highlight as the owner talks to you while you try his empanadas (delish)! He gave us two excellent restaurant recommendations too.
It’s the first time I’ve tried a foodie tour and I’m absolutely hooked. It’s a great way to fully enjoy the culture. Shout out to our guide Natalia- she made the city and the food embracing!!!!
The tour was the highlight of our stay in Palermo, Buenos Aires. The experience was exactly as described and more. We went to tiny local restaurants that otherwise would not have attracted a second glance but served amazing food. Frank certainly knew his stuff and by the end of the tour we had a good understanding of BA history and culture. We especially enjoyed learning about the street art. The photo file that Frank shared was an added bonus. Highly recommend to anybody going to BA.
Christina was an amazing guide. We had a wonderful time. The food was great and all the places we village we learned a lot about Buenos Aires. Would highly recommend.
Cristina was incredible. We had an amazing time and tried wonderful foods. We particularly loved the making and enjoying of maté while relaxing in the botanical garden. We loved learning more about the history and social experiences through street art. We can’t recommend this tour highly enough and hope to take friends and family the next time we visit Buenos Aires!
Frank did a GREAT tour of Palermo with us! Not only was this an excellent food tour, with stops for medialunas and coffee for breakfast, steak for lunch, empanadas and gelato, but we also very much enjoyed the history and cultural information about Buenos Aires and Argentina. The Palermo neighborhood is charming and vibrant, and Frank did a great job of showing us the amazing street art and how it ties into the community. We would definitely wish to return to BA and stay in this neighborhood. All the food was delicious and we did not need dinner that evening. The restaurants he took us to were small, family run businesses that were so charming. We also really enjoyed the tour through the Botanical Garden and the Plaza de Italia. I give this tour my highest recommendation and Frank is a very warm and friendly person. Thank you for a very memorable experience!
Frank guided us through Palermo, showing us street art while explaining the history of the neighborhood. He knew the best places to sample what the locals eat, with walks in between so you didn’t feel too full. Frank was knowledgeable, punctual and friendly. Communication with him scheduling our tour and a gaucho tour was prompt. He also informed us of the best places to buy leather and what Tango shows were worth seeing. I highly recommend his company, he made our stay in Palermo memorable.
We had a really nice day. Frank speaks fluent Spanish and English and can speaks with passion about the history of BA. Lots of good food and wine. Also we learned a lot about Buenos Aires, food traditions and Argentina history. We loved it. 🥩🍷🧀❤️
Fernando took us on a walking food tour of the Palermo area. We saw the sights and ate good food. Thank you Fernando for the informative and enjoyable tour!
Frank is a great guide. The pace of the tour was not rushed, the sights we saw were unique and interesting and the restaurants we visited were awesome. I highly recommend this tour to get an immersive view of Palermo from a local guide.
