Private Architecture And Palaces Tour In Buenos Aires

Excellent tour!! Our guide, Mariela, was very knowledgeable! She provided many opportunities to see Buenos Aires!!!

The private architecture tour was such a treat. Our guide Mariela was a lecturer in art history and studio art at the local university, she was incredibly knowledgeable and on top of that sweet natured, patient, just a lovely person to spend the day with. We had a private driver as well as Mariela so we could walk or ride around the city to our preference. Great activity for mixed age groups.

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We had a vehicle to move from site to site but also got out to walk around or in the places which was nice. We ended at a very nice restaurant on the guises recommendation.

Great way to start a visit to Buenos Aires. Our guide Mariela was very knowledgeable and quickly identified what was important for us. She was flexible and adjusted the tour as we went to include an informative walk through Recoleta Cemetery. She provided so many valuable recommendations and allowed us to customize where we ended the tour. We were a party of 6 and the van was perfect to get around combined with some walking. Highly recommend Signature Tours.

My guide was wonderful… I had already walked around Buenos Aires before the tour, but my guide adjusted and provided a lot of new and interesting facts

Alexandra was such a blessing to us. We are in Buenos Aires for our honeymoon and had an open day that we wanted to fill. The architecture tour and Alexandra‘s knowledge of the city were so wonderful. She gave us so many great recommendations and so many great ideas of things to do while we’re here and upon our hopeful return. Her driver was excellent and made every stop seamless. The tour was comfortable, informative, and fun. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good tour of the city especially in their native tongue (of which she knows many) Thank you so much for all that you did. We can’t wait to see you again.

This was a very interesting and informative tour! Learning about the history of the city through its architecture was a fun experience. The tour covered the architecture is a couple different areas, most within 10 minutes of the driving. Our tour guide and the driver were both very friendly, and the guide was very knowledgeable. She provided great information on the history and culture of the city. She also gave us great recommendations on what other things to see. Per her suggestion, we went and found a tour to La Recoleta Cemetery in the afternoon. The juxtaposition of seeing the grand buildings and the mausoleums in one day and and hearing about the stories of the people inhabited in these places was an unique memory from our trip!

Mariella tailored the tour to your needs. You could get out of the car and take pictures when you wanted to. Also, other things were discussed like Argentine culture and politics.

Mariela was an amazing tour guide! We got to see major historical landmarks and she discussed architectural styles and famous architects, and contextualized everything within the historical development of Argentina and Buenos Aires. Xavier guided us expertly through the city in a beautiful van. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to better understand the city. I wish we had done this at the very beginning of our stay here!

Excellent informative guide with good English. Saw a side of Buenos Aries that did not see on previous tours.

This classic building, with its blend of old-world charm with modern function, was Designed by French architect Norbert Maillart in 1889. However, with no public funding, it was left on hold for twenty years until it received approval in 1904. Construction began in 1905, but it was not finished until 37 years later, in 1942. Occupying an entire city block, this Neoclassical–Eclectic style building, with its clean lines, elegant columns, and facade covered in imitation Paris, is now the home of the Supreme Court. It is free to enter the building , and on Fridays at 2:30 pm there is a Ninety-minute guided tours of the courts, but only in Spanish on Fridays. Upon entering, a large bronze statue represents Justice, the work of Argentine sculptor Rogelio Yrurtia; on the sides, you can see the crowns that represent the Tablets of the Law held by human figures.

Our guide, Julieta, was excellent. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Buenos Aires and Argentina. Her expertise added a huge dimension to viewing the buildings and touring the city.The tour gives one a good and interesting basis for a few of the city’s highlights.

Our family loved the architecture and palaces tour. Our daughter has almost completed her architecture studies and she very much appreciated the insight that Alexandra provided. The tour hit the highlights of Buenos Aires and also provided very good historical context. Alexandra was knowledgeable, funny, and personable. We appreciated the flexibility of the tour as well. We got dropped off in time to have a tour of the Colon Theatre. We would highly recommend this tour.

Alexandra did a phenomenal job Explaining the key architectural points of Buenos Aires. Our daughter is in a Masters of Architecture program and she throughly enjoyed the tour. Alexandra was able to flex the half day tour to meet our needs. We were able to join the tour of the a theatre Colon in time. Thanks for the outstanding tour. Highly recommended!

Fabulous. No worries about the exchange rate use your credit card and the difference is not very much at all. Watch out for small shops (usually groceries shops) that add 10% to foreign credit cards. They tell you before hand so all legitimate. The place is very safe, I have not had any worries and no concerns. Take the obvious precautions you would in any European city. Really a very easy city recommend Palermo Hollywood as you can walk to so many places from there. Also, great restaurants on every street. You need cash for uber for most foreigners and tipping so bring some dollars and change here. If you are not a nomad worker recommend you spend 2 weeks BA and then some travel around.

We had an extra day in Buenos Aires and were looking for something more than a basic city tour. This tour was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. Miguel is an awesome tour guide! He's great at mixing art, architecture, and history into an entertaining and interesting tour. Highly recommended!

Our guide Carolina was superb! She took us on a totally personalized tour of Buenos Aires - we felt like our needs were understood, and she delivered. We'd highly recommend.

We saw some interesting buildings that we would not have noticed (or for 3, explored the inside) without the guide. Julia was very knowledgeable about the history of the history or each building, as well as the history of the city. In addition to the specific buildings highlighted on the tour, she pointed out features and provided history of quite a few neighboring buildings. By the way, Viator listed this as a 4 hour tour, but the tour guide and the driver said they were hired for a 3 hour tour.

We attended the tour to visit this building because there is not so much to do in the city. The Palacio Barolo is interesting to look at outside. Inside of the building there is really nothing special to see. And the tour took two hours to show the rundown and even dirty place. It was not worth to spend time for that. Climb to the top of building in the lighthouse you will get a panoramic view of the city which is not that beautiful but interesting. At the end of the tour included a glass of wine, but it’s took place in a small old office. Not on the nice terrace of the building. Why?

This tour was great! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable of the city. HIghly recommend this tour.
