We had a wonderful experience on our Buenos Aires city tour with Carlos! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience enjoyable. He shared so much history and interesting facts about the city while taking us to some of Buenos Aires’ most popular landmarks. He was also patient, welcoming, and made sure we had time to explore, take pictures, and enjoy each stop. We really appreciated his hospitality and how passionate he was about showing us his city. I would absolutely recommend Carlos to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

My family enjoyed this private half day tour of Buenos Aires with Fred. We were able to easily see the city’s highlights without having to rush. Fred was also able to offer us lots of good recommendations for the rest of our stay.
I loved this private tour. This is such a great way to get to know the city and my tour guide Fred was so knowledgeable about the city and pointed out lots of things we would have normally overlooked. If you are in Buenos Aires for a short time. I definitely recommend this tour.
Carlos did a great job taking us places and explaining the history behind where we were. Then he took us to do a little shopping and the deals we got on leather was amazing! We didn’t feel rushed while shopping at all When I’m back in Argentina, I will look him up!
We chose the 4-hour Buenos Aires city tour with Carlos, and we were so glad we did!

Carlos drove us around the city, making the experience both convenient and efficient. Carlos was warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the city. He also shared some great recommendations for additional places to visit and restaurants to try if we had more time. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this tour, especially for anyone with limited time in Buenos Aires who wants to make the most of their visit!

Carlos Melatti was amazing! He made our experience in seeing Buenos Aires just so easy and enjoyable. He explained everything to us, took us all over the city and even shared a great meal with him. Looking forward to booking him again and telling people about him for future tours. Hands down the best experience ever!
Carlos was an outstanding guide and made our driving and walking tour of Buenos Aires a truly memorable experience. His knowledge of the city’s history..,architecture…neighborhoods, politics, and culture was impressive, and he presented everything in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. What really set Carlos apart was his enthusiasm and fun personalityHe was patient, engaging, and more than willing to answer questions and tailor the experience. It felt less like a formal tour and more like spending the day with a friend. Make sure you ask for Carlos!

"Our tour guide, Carlos Melatti, texted me through WhatsApp a day early. This made me feel comfortable and reassured that he wouldn't miss us. It was a great, relaxing city tour. Carlos was incredibly friendly, easygoing, and eager to show us around while explaining the history of each place. He was definitely one of the best guides during my 20-day trip to South America in April/May 2026. I would rate him 6 stars if I could!"
We had a wonderful day enjoying the sites of BA with Carlos.. We learnt about the history and culture of Argentina. Carlos skillfully navigated through the streets and then explained and answered all our questions as we walked to each attraction on the itinerary. We appreciated him taking photos of us and giving his expert advice on places to eat and visit. Carlos was punctual, friendly and had a good sense of humour. It was a well paced and relaxing tour which we highly recommend to everyone.
I took a four hour tour of Buenos Aires with Carlos. He was very knowledgeable of all the sites he took us to see and asked us about things we had/hadn’t done yet to accommodate our tour experience. He was also very communicative before, during, and after the tour. I felt like I got to see a learn about the iconic landmarks in such a short amount of time. Highly recommend the the tour!

He really listened to what we were interested in seeing and doing and tailored the tour perfectly to match our preferences. We never felt rushed or pressured, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Fred was also honest and helpful in recommending where to shop and what to avoid, which we truly appreciated.

He also recommended some of the best steak restaurants, which was especially appreciated since that was something we were really looking forward to experiencing. Overall, Fred made our experience memorable, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized and enjoyable tour.
Carlos was an excellent tour guide. He was kind, funny, and personable. We had a great time hitting all the highlights of Buenos Aires, he took his time educating me on Argentinian history.

We enjoyed every minute with Carlos. He is charismatic and charming. His knowledge and enthusiasm is fantastic
Fabulous tour that gave me a great feel for the city and an understanding of the history. Carlos was very friendly and spoke English well. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Buenos Aires!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our private Buenos Aires tour with Fred. He picked us up at our hotel and we talked about our itinerary of the day. Fred was fun and polite, and it was obvious he knew his way around. Fred knew many of the people we encountered throughout the day which to me is a good sign of a tour guide. He treated us to delicious Argentinean moon pies and made a special stop at my wife's request. We had a wonderful afternoon learning about Buenos Aires and some of it's history.
Fred was an excellent tour guide. We spent a full day with him. If you would like someone to drive you around BA and show you the sights, I highly recommend Fred.
We booked a four hour private guided tour of Buenos Aires. Our guide was Carlos and he was excellent. He took us to lots of very interesting sites around the city and was very patient. He gave us lots of information and help, we would very much recommend him and the tour to anyone looking for a similar experience. We really enjoyed the experience.
The 4 of us enjoyed an excellent city tour with Carlos. He was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend the city tour with Carlos
If you’re visiting Buenos Aires and want a tour guide who truly brings the city to life, look no further than Fred. From the moment we met him, his warmth and friendliness set the tone for an absolutely wonderful day. Fred’s communication was excellent throughout — clear, engaging, and perfectly paced. He made sure we never felt rushed or lost, and his storytelling made every stop feel meaningful. We covered all the iconic highlights: the stunning Pink House and the historic Plaza de Mayo, the magnificent cathedral, and the vibrant, colorful painted houses of La Boca. Each location came with rich context and fascinating stories that only someone truly knowledgeable about Buenos Aires could share. The lunch stop at the market was a highlight in itself — we enjoyed incredible sausages and empanadas that gave us a genuine taste of local food culture. It was the perfect mid-day break, and a lovely touch that showed Fred really thinks about the full experience, not just the sightseeing. What sets Fred apart is the genuine care he brings to his work. He’s not just a guide — he’s an ambassador for his city, and his passion for Buenos Aires is absolutely infectious. We left feeling like we truly understood and connected with this incredible place. Highest possible recommendation. Fred, thank you for making our Buenos Aires day so special — we’ll never forget it! 🇦🇷
We spent one of the most beautiful holidays in Buenos Aires thanks to our guide Fred who was beyond expectations. Very attentive to details and organization made the whole experience unforgettable. I can say that he was the best guide I have had and considering that my friend has visited 130 countries, that says a lot.
Carlos was a wonderful guide. Attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, we had a great tour!
Carlos has been an excellent guide navigating us through the streets and markets of Buenos Aires, providing background and historical significance of the various points in the city. The one day tour helped us at least taste and feel the ethos of this beautiful city. Carlos' laughter and friendliness is going to stay with us forever as an important part of our Buenos Aires memory.
I had a wonderful, customized city tour with Fred yesterday. As an older female traveling alone prior to a cruise, I wanted a safe and fun tour and Fred delivered. It felt like I had a friend showing me around his city. Highly recommended!
5+. Carlos was an incredible guide for us to discover parts of Buenos Aires that we probably would not have. He was professional and fun as well as charming and a complete gentleman from pick up to drop off. It was a very fun day. Carlos made the experience, not just a city tour, but a city experience of Buenos Aires and we were delighted to have such a capable, knowledgeable, and English speaking guide that was born and raised here. I would give Carlos a 10 if I could.
Saw so many fascinating aspects of Buenos Aires with Carlos. We could not have discovered so many truly memorable experiences on our own. It was a fantastic tour!
Fred is Fantastic! He was relaxed and was willing to customize to whatever we wanted. He blended car and walking. He blended art, architecture, culture, food, and shopping. We will be back and we will look for Fred in advance!
We got Fred’s number through a recommendation, and now we truly understand why he comes so highly recommended. Fred is a fantastic young guide with an incredible amount of positive energy. Despite his young age, his knowledge is absolutely impressive. His understanding of history is outstanding, and his grasp of geopolitics is remarkable — he seems to have it all at his fingertips. What surprised us even more was how well he follows and understands what is happening in Poland. Fred knows Buenos Aires like the back of his hand. He can navigate even the smallest streets and hidden corners with confidence. He always knows where to park, how to move quickly and efficiently, and how to smoothly avoid any obstacles. Touring the city with him feels effortless and perfectly organized. On top of that, he is extremely friendly, open, and always smiling. He even surprised us by offering and buying refreshments, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Throughout the tour, he kept weaving in brilliant situational jokes that made the experience even more enjoyable. I am absolutely delighted with our experience and wholeheartedly recommend Fred to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. He is exceptional, and we will recommend him with all our heart.
Great guide judged the needs of the group really well so we were always interested and engaged and a nice manner and attitude Very knowledgeable…there were very few questions he did nt know the answer to Door to door service TOP Man
Carlos is very familiar with the city. We had been thinking about spending half a day taking hop on hop off bus for the city tour but eventually decided to go on a private car tour. It was definitely the right choice. Local guides like Carlos made it a better choice, for BA is a big city with lots of history and stories.
