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 La Boca neighborhood, on the coast of the Riachuelo River and just 400 meters from La Bombonera, the Boca Juniors stadium.
The Mafalda Monument is a sculpture dedicated to the most famous character of the cartoonist Quino: 'Mafalda' in which she can be seen materialized on a bench resting. The Mafalda Monument is located a few meters from where the cartoonist lived, in the San Telmo neighborhood where a plaque that says 'Mafalda lived here' commemorates him.
It is a large indoor market located in the San Telmo neighborhood. Although it preserves old shops selling vegetables and meat, it is currently a tourist place and there are plenty of antique shops. The old "neighborhood" stalls that have been preserved for several decades coexist with the antique dealers, more recent and related to the tourist boom of San Telmo. The building also includes some stores that have their own entrance from the street, including greengrocers, liquor stores, a restaurant and two notable bars: “San Pedro Telmo”, and “La Coruña”.1
It is a palace located in front of the Plaza de Mayo that functions as the headquarters of the National Government. This imposing pink building occupies the site where the Fort of Buenos Aires was erected in 1580. It was the residence of Spanish viceroys and later housed, with some reforms, the authorities of successive national governments. The current building is the product of the merger of two previous buildings: the presidential headquarters and the Post Office Palace (on the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Balcarce).
The Puente de la Mujer, one of the emblems of the Puerto Madero neighborhood, is the first work in Latin America by the renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and represents another example of how the City permanently seeks to position itself at the forefront of art and architecture in the entire region. It is a rotating pedestrian bridge with one of the largest turning mechanisms in the world, designed to allow the passage of sailing vessels that navigate the docks of Puerto Madero. The work, made in Spain and donated to the City by an individual, represents the image of a couple dancing the tango, where the white mast symbolizes the man and the curved silhouette of the bridge the woman.
Inspired by Madrid's Gran Vía, Avenida de Mayo is one of the largest and most important arteries in Buenos Aires. Tour the city from Plaza de Mayo with the Casa Rosada at one end, to the National Congress building at the other. Officially opened in 1894, it is worth visiting, as it is like taking a trip through the entire history of the city.
It is located in the exclusive neighborhood of Recoleta, which owes its name to the fact that the convent of the Recoleta monks was located there, to which the neighboring Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar also belonged (the cemetery was built in the old monks' garden. ). It is the most visited in the city, due to its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults, belonging to many of the main protagonists of Argentine history, such as that of Eva Perón (Evita), one of the most visited tombs. Likewise, it is worth a visit for its architectural value, since it is a sample of the times when the country was an emerging economic power and the main families of the city competed to build splendid pantheons. Many of the vaults and mausoleums are the work of important architects and are adorned with marble and sculptures; More than 90 vaults have been declared National Historic Monuments.
The Ateneo Grand Splendid was chosen by the British newspaper The Guardian as the second most important bookstore in the world. Erected on the old Grand Splendid cinema theater in the Recoleta neighborhood, it preserves its former splendor and elegance, with the dome decorated with frescoes, the original railings and the decoration intact. On the old stage – with the velvet curtain partly open – there is a bar that invites you to sit down, book in hand. You can also take advantage of the armchairs that are on both sides of the main room or sit in the exclusive boxes that function as small reading rooms. In the basement there is a sector dedicated to children's books, and the upper floor is dedicated to samples and exhibitions.
This imposing 20-meter-high sculpture that dominates the United Nations Plaza 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 moving sculpture controlled by a hydraulic system and photoelectric cells. The work was inaugurated on April 13, 2002. Its name, "Floralis Genérica", 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 point you will get off and have between 15 and 20 minutes to take photos. -The guide will be with you at every moment and will help you with each photo -He will tell you the entire history of Buenos Aires and how it has developed over the years. -You will know the most beautiful bookstore in the world
Within the 3 de Febrero Park, in Palermo, is the Rose Garden, with a collection of more than 18,000 roses and a lake that surrounds it. It occupies a space that belonged to Juan Manuel de Rosas's estate, until he was defeated on February 3, 1852 in the battle of Caseros. The work began with the landscape designer Carlos Thays, the same one who built the Botanical Garden, Avellaneda Park and Lezama Park, among others. Then, his disciple Benito Carrasco finished it in 1914. Every July when the pruning season begins, neighbors and tourists come to the gardeners to receive flowers or cuttings from which new species can be reproduced. In this way, in winter the rose bushes bloom healthy and strong to reach the maximum point of development in October.
10/10 Experience and guide! Can absolutley recommend Mariano! Loads of info about every part of the city tour! Also some stops to enjoy the buildings and market. Really nice
Mariano showed up on time and customized our tour for the 4 of us. . He was very pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. We couldn’t have seen so much of the city in 4 hours without his guide. Recommend highly!
We had a great experience with Mariano. He had a lot of knowledge about history and the city. He tailored the tour to our needs and allowed us time when we wanted it. It was a lovely tour.
Professional guide, Matiano. very good! Had a great experience in Buenos Aires.10 out of 10 rating.
Mariano our tour guide was wonderful so knowledgeable and friendly. Really enjoyed our tour of beautiful Buenos Aries ❤️ Thank you Mariano ! 🙌
This tour was amazing. We hit all of the sights and learned a lot about Buenos Aires. Mariano was very knowledgeable about the city and provided outstanding customer service. First class tour which I would do again as long as he was the guide!!!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour guide, Mariano. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and shared detailed, engaging explanations throughout the tour. One of the biggest highlights was how excellent his English was—it made communication seamless and allowed us to fully enjoy and understand everything he shared. The tour was perfectly paced to our preferences, and Mariano went above and beyond by suggesting additional places we could visit. Parking can be challenging in some areas, but he handled it effortlessly by dropping us off at each landmark so we could explore and take photos, then picking us up at convenient locations. On the return trip to our hotel, he even recommended great evening tours, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Mariano’s expertise, professionalism, and ability to communicate so clearly made the excursion especially enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Mariano was absolutely fantastic! We learned so much about Bueno Aires and every question we asked, Mariano had the answers, from how the government functioned, to economics, history, it was amazing. I feel like we hit all the important places in the city and the Delta trip was beautiful and relaxing. I really recommend this trip!
What an amazing day we had! Mariano was a wonderful guide and so informative. We covered so much ground in a short time. His English was great and we learned so much from him. Highly recommend this!
Mariano was simply amazing the depth of his knowledge and enthusiasm truly enhanced the tours experience
Mariano reached out to confirm our pickup time and location which was very nice. He also arrived exactly on time and met us at our hotel entrance. His vehicle was very comfortable and clean. Immediately he began telling us the history and facts our hotel area which wasn’t on the tour. His knowledge of the city quickly showed through upon first meeting Mariano. Each tour location, which we customized to our liking, was accompanied by a wealth of knowledge and any questions we had was immediately answered. We stopped at a few destinations which Mariano allowed enough time to for us to explore, even while my mother walked slow due to a handicap. We never felt rushed. Mariano gave clear instructions on when and where to meet at each location so we would not have to backtrack. At the conclusion of the tour Mariano gave us the option to either drop us off at the hotel or a certain location that we passed while on the tour. We asked to get dropped off at the San Telmo Market. He walked in with us and gave us a quick tour of the market. I would absolutely recommend and encourage people to ask for Mariano when booking a tour. He is knowledgeable, funny, and kind. Thank you Mariano!
Mariano was fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable and although we had seen a couple of places on our own the day before he still stopped for a few minutes to explain their significance! Excellent! He gave us recommendations for restaurants. Just a wonderful experience. Priv
Mariano is a perfect guide to the city, his knowledge, love & passion for Buenos Aires is fabulous, he explained the statues, buildings, & monuments in detail. It was truly a worthwhile memorable day.
Mariano was the best guide! We enjoyed a very full morning seeing all the highlights of the city. Although we packed a lot in we never felt rushed and Mariano was excellent at knowing where to park. He also knew the best spots for photos and was skilled in using our phones for getting great shots of us. We were blown away in Mariano’s knowledge of Buenos Aires. Book this tour at the beginning of your visit and then enjoy going back to the spots you would like to spend more time exploring.
Mariano was an excellent tourist guide, very attentive and gave us an extensive tour around BA. He also recommended us a bunch of other places and things to do in the city. He is very knowledgeable in the historic and architectural aspects of the city. Highly recommended tour and tour guide.
Mariano was great! He was very knowledgeable about Buenos Aires. We learned so much. He also answered all our questions and gave us so many tips. He was awesome!
Fernando picked us up at the appointed time. We discussed what we would like to see. As my husband is a keen gardener he adjusted the tour so that we could visit the Japanese Garden. He knew all the landmarks and the history, and his English was excellent.
Our first experience, after arriving in Buenos Aires, was to take a private city tour. It started in a confusing manner in that I booked with another company, Reservas de Passeois, and ended up on a tour operated by Baires Adventures. Our guide was nice enough but not engaged, yawning throughout the tour. He showed us the stops but didn’t point out things while we were driving through the city so I kept asking “what’s this building or what’s that?” At the third hour it seemed like he was going to drop us at our requested end point even though we had an hour left so I requested to see one other place. Overall it was a pretty mediocre tour.
I can not recommend enough this tour, I booked this for my wife since I'm argentinian and I do not regret it one bit. The organization and Emiliano the tour guide were amazing, communication was great and we were able to arrange everything without any issues. Emiliano our guide was polite, professional, very knowledgeable and funny, his food recommendations were also on point. Totally recommend this if you want to see and learn about Bs As.
Best way to get an over view of Buenes Ares with knowledgeable and caring Guide Max when you only have 4 hours as he took us to the highlights with a driver to not waste too much time walking from place to place and allowed time at preferred places of interest as well a show best sights in limited time. Thoroughly recommend Max for this sort of tour as great knowledge with overview of what to spend time at and what just to drive past but note what the meaning of the sight was. Visit to Eva Petons Moniment and Tomb was also well worth it as Max explained all about her shirt life with pride.
The operator had a little trouble with our start times and, we learned later, sent two guides. Our guide, Alejandro, was pleasant, courteous, and spoke idiomatic English. The tour hit all the spots in the photos and Alejandro explained them well but, basically, he drove us from place to place. He left us to get out and explore on our own with a set time for pick up. As far flung as Buenos Aires is, it’s a decent overview. During the drive, you saw as much as you could see from the back seat of a small sedan.
Carlos was an excellent tour guide. Very professional and knowledgeable. He reach out to us the night before which give me great peace of mind. He was waiting for us on time with a very nice and clean car. He took us all over town, parking and walking with us, explaining very interesting facts and lots of history of this beautiful city and he is also a great photographer Thank you Carlos for showing the best of Buenos Aires ! We highly recommend him!
We booked a private tour of the city. The vehicle broke down and the guide contacted us. We ended up joining a group tour and waited until 12:30 to finally get picked up.The guide and driver did a great job from that point. Then, we got stuck in a protest area(woman’s day) and we’re told they may not be able to get around it. The guide and other passengers left the bus. The kind driver took a long round of traffic and got us home. Was 6:30 pm. Hectic to say the least.
Our personal tour was cancelled. We were offered a small group tour instead at no additional charge. I asked how big and was told max 18 persons. There were 21 of us and it was trilingual which meant that much got missed as it took so long to explain anything. The guide was lovely and it was NOT his fault but the trip did not do what we wanted. I messaged the company whilst still on the trip to explain that we were not happy and have heard nothing from them. We left the tour part way by choice so that we could spend longer at a location but our friends stayed and were not returned to the hotel we were picked up from but left a long way out. A lot of the guests were surprised by this and had been expecting to finish where they started.
Our guide Alejandro was kind and he did a good job explaining the sites on the schedule, and anything else we asked about. The logistical coordination from the management team was poor, however -- we didn't receive any information about the meeting time and location until 1 hour before the start time, and even then, the manager did not clearly communicate with the guide about the meeting location. It made the whole experience extremely stressful, when it didn't need to be.
Great tour with very friendly & informative guide. Gustavo was very flexible about where we went & what we saw & his knowledge about Buenos Aires was impressive!
Outstanding half day tour. Covered all of the tourist highlights. Also went to the food market and had an outstanding meal. Was not on the itinerary but the guide was flexible and accommodated our needs.
Bring money for the excursions that require payment. You get tour money's worth with 4 action packed hours.
Perfect tour to get an overview of the city of Buenos Aires. We saw a lot. Ezequiel was a great guide.
Great tour, great guide. Luca speaks good English and has a nice laid back personality. He is flexible, and gives the right amount of information, not too much, not too little.
Our guide Agustin was AMAZING! Young, energetic, knowledgeable, but also very patient and flexible. We had seen some places before and he let us to skip some and spend more time at others! Highly recommend for Spanish speakers.
Very nice guided visited tour Buenos Aires. The guide was Augustin. He was very prepared and happy to share all his knowledge about the city. Hi highly reccomend the tour and Augustin as a guide!
Agustín was super helpful and show us in a short time a lot of places in BA he also is really great photographer and knows a lot about the city.
What an amazing tour. It was 100% private which made it awesome because it’s a lot more catered. We were picked up at the exact spot requested super timely and then dropped off at our hotel. The tour was ample and it was perfect because we could see so many things from the car and then get off at some of the places to do a little exploring. Our tour guide Agustin was the best!!! He really made our experience super special and gave us so many good tips and recommendations. He was very patient and knowledgeable. Took the time to answer all of our questions. LOVED THIS TOUR!!! Recommended 10000000%
Fantastic tour of the city highlights. Our guide Laura was very knowledgeable and pleasant to drive around with. Our driver Cristian had some terrific stories at the cemetery. We really enjoyed our time!
Excellent tour to get to know the city, with time to enjoy the panoramic views, and the guide Mariano is very knowledgeable about answering questions and very attentive.
Start of the booked tour at 10 am, but the organizer cancelled at 8:18 am without explanation. No way to organize anything else in such a short time. Totally dubious.
Superbe tour de la ville avec Ezequiel, notre guide cultivé et professionnel. Une vue rapide mais assez complète des principaux quartiers de Buenos Aires.
4時間程のツアーですがブエノスアイレス市内に分散した観光スポットを車で移動して効率的に見て回ることができます。１か所で15～30分ほど過ごすことができます。観光先で食事などをしてゆっくり過ごすことは難しいですが、時間が限られている方にお勧めします。
Buonasera, Sergio! Questa la nostra recensione sul tour , inviata a Viator. Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti del tour con Sergio. Ci ha fatto apprezzare dei meravigliosi luoghi di Buenos Aires dai quali siamo stati incantati. Inoltre, è stato un accompagnatore disponibile, empatico, scrupoloso e paziente, consentendoci di fotografare luoghi meravigliosi e fornendoci notizie dettagliate delle varie attrazioni. Grazie di tutto!

I loved the tour Agustin explained me and I clear all my doubts, very rich the food of the market, you should try the empanadas and beer
