Our guide Natalia showed us La Boca, the most beautiful and iconic neighborhood in Buenos Aires. This place isn't just about a football stadium and colorful houses, it's steeped in history, and through it, you can understand the development of Buenos Aires as a city. You absolutely must take this tour if you visit La Boca.
Besides having fun, we learned a lot on this tour of the charming La Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires. This is a very iconic neighborhood, and taking a walking tour here was the best idea. Highly recommended!
Nice walking tour with Natalia! La Boca isn't just a district of Buenos Aires, it's a charming place that embodies the true local spirit. With its bohemian vibe and impressive stadium, La Boca pleasantly surprised us. This tour was the perfect way to explore La Boca, as our guide, Natalia, shared stories with us while we strolled through its streets. I highly recommend this tour!
Gave a wonderful overview of La Boca and its colorful history. Natalie is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable
Pedro was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot about the history of La Boca. It was great to see how the current state developed in the past, e.g., why the buildings are painted so colorfully!
Excellent tour guide, super knowledgeable, funny, nice, and professional. We saw so many places that we couldn't know how to find by ourselves. Highly recommended! Pedro is the best!
Our guide didn't show up and never contacted us that he couldn't come. We had a lot of trouble trying to contact the tour company in Buenos Aries. Their numbers were disconnected. Finally we contacted Viator. They said that he was busy and would we want to join the group the next day. We had already made our way there and decided to just walk around ourselves. It was in the sketchy area of La Boca and we were uncomfortable. After going through poor neighborhoods we finally saw the colored houses. We're still trying to get our money back from Viator. We're done with this company after we had a horrible trip with them to Iguazu Falls. The falls were great. The schedule of planning was horrible including booking us on an unreliable airline with a 10 hour flight delay until 2:18 a.m. Wrote to the company and they didn't care. We bought tickets on another flight. No refund. We're done with Trip Advisor. We had too many bad experiences.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, kept the attention of the group, visited good points in the area, very informative, in sync with his group, and very thorough
We spent almost all of the tour walking through vacant streets without much happening. Then it ended with the last five minutes in the lively part of La Boca that I wanted to see. Disappointing. Our guide was friendly and very nice.
Our guide Pedro showed us interesting places and told us a lot of interesting and historic stories. He also cared about the group and made a break to buy water and use the toilet. It was also pretty cool that he is open for questions beyond the tour like how to get to a local football match or how to use the public transport.
Our guide was energetic and made the experience super fun from start to finish. We spent time learning about the local art scene and even got to chat with some street artists, which was such a cool experience. The group vibe was great, and we ended up finding an amazing spot for coffee afterward. It felt like we got a real insider’s view of the neighborhood, and we’re so glad we did this tour.
We had an awesome time on this walking tour through La Boca! The whole neighborhood has such a unique charm with its art-filled streets and vibrant culture. Our guide was super engaging, sharing interesting stories and showing us a few local galleries we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. We also stopped by a few local markets, which was a great way to get a feel for the community. It was a really fun way to spend the afternoon, and we left with a much better understanding of Buenos Aires!
I had an amazing time on this walking tour in La Boca. As a solo traveler, I was a bit unsure at first, but the guide made me feel completely at ease. We explored the vibrant streets, from the colorful houses of Caminito to the lively atmosphere around La Bombonera stadium. The guide shared fascinating stories about the neighborhood, which really brought the place to life. It was such a unique experience, and I felt like I was seeing the real side of Buenos Aires. Definitely a highlight of my trip!
A great experience getting to know La Boca with my family. They explained a lot about the city to us and we really enjoyed it. We have already recommended this tour to all our friends and we will definitely take more tours with the site. Grateful😎
We did the tour with Angelo and it was an unforgettable experience. We were only two people, which made it totally personalized. Angelo has an in-depth knowledge of the neighborhood and a unique charisma: it was great fun to see how everyone greeted him, and even we tourists received smiles and greetings. We stopped at a bar and, thanks to it, we discovered not only the most traditional, but also the true essence of the neighborhood. An authentic experience.
