Private Tour: Buenos Aires Like A Local

Santiago was amazing and attentive. We saw quite a bit and he was able to tailor the tour for us. Thanks Santiago!

A splendid 5 hour walking tour our guide happily adjusted to accommodate our request to visit La Boca. Buenos Aires has such a rich history that our guide shared with us in just the right amount of detail. Highly recommend!

Santiago gave us an excellent walking tour of Buenos Aires. Before we started he checked to see if we had already visited any possible places on the tour. Also if we had preferences on what to visit. Once all was agreed we set off on a steady but gentle walking pace. This is a full 5 hour walking tour and you need to be prepared for a tiring day. Santiago is an accredited tour guide and it showed. He was professional, knowledgable and very calm and friendly. We took public transport between some of the places which was covered in the price and allowed us to see more in the time. He took us to some hidden gems which we would not have found by ourselves. Well worthwhile.

An excellent way to start our visit to Buenos Aires! Our guide, Augustina, was fantastic! She made sure to involve everyone in our party and shared an amazing amount of detailed information for all neighborhoods visited!

Augustine was great, we had such a great tour and when we met up with friends that spent the day on a different tour our group had more facts and authentic experience's to talk about than their group. 💕I would recommend the tour on the front end of your trip so you get a good understanding of the different areas of the city.

Great guide who took care of us during the afternoon. He was very knowledgeable and flexible and showed us around in a professional way.

An outstanding tour , our guide , Santi was very knowledgable , tailored the trip to our requirements , and was excellent company . He shared fascinating insights about this beautiful city’s history and culture , we can’t recommend more highly

Great tour and guide! Would definitely do it again. The tour was planned and thought out. I highly recommend this tour for those who want more context and see the main attractions of the city.

Our guide, Santiago Sergovia, met us promptly at 9 a.m. in the lobby of our hotel. We had taken a small group tour the day before, so we wanted to make some adjustments by removing some areas of interest we had already seen the previous day while replacing with other sights we had yet to see. Santiago showed us that he was very eager to please our tastebuds with all the various flavors of all the sights and sounds that Buenos Aires has to offer. The subway going to Palermo and Recoleta was non-functional as it was under a massive reconstruction/rejuvenation. However, Santiago was very adept on transporting us all over the city on bus transit saving our feet from a considerable amount of walking. We covered a lot of territory that day going from one end of Buenos Aires to the other seeing numerous tourist sites as well as sites off the beaten path. Both my husband and I were initially "not into" going to the Recoleta cemetery. Santiago offered that we should at least go for a peak inside, and then depending on what we wished to do, we could stay or go on to something else. We actually ended up staying for the full tour as it was truly fascinating, and Santiago demonstrated such a wealth of knowledge. Honestly, it was truly fascinating, and I do highly recommend having a good guide give you a tour of this extraordinary resting place. Our Guide was akin to a walking Buenos Aires encyclopedia (in perfect English!) while also just being SUPER FUN. The day went by in a FLASH! Do yourself a favor when in Buenos Aires, and book this tour! You will cover so much territory and learn so much more about the rich heritage of Buenos Aires. We savored every moment.

This tour was a bit underwhelming. It was good to get oriented to the city and the tour guide did provide some history but ultimately didn’t feel we learned too much nor that she was particularly enthusiastic. She seemed happy when we decided to end early. Not sure I would book again.

Agustina was excellent, perfect command of English and even got our English sense of humour, and very knowledgable of BA and it’s history and architecture. We have been travelling for over ten months, and have had tour guides in many many cities, and we feel this tour was right up there with the best of them. I would highly recommend this tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Buenos Aires tour with Gabriela! She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and warm. She customized the tour to our tastes and taught us about Argentinian history and culture. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or guide; we highly recommend this tour and Gabriela!

Gabriela, my tour guide, was one of the best guides one could possibly hope for. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history, the culture, the politics and values of Argentina and Buenos Aires, more specifically. She is a joy to be with. We spent almost 5 hours together and I adored her immensely…. And I soaked up her brilliant mind. We both love Pope Francis, and Messi, of course as beloved Argentines. I recommend this tour with 5 stars!!! Do it.

I know that guides sometimes get kickbacks for bringing tourists to certain vendors but I have never actually seen a guide be handed money in a way that I could notice the handoff. It was quite shocking. Also, the guide did not plan out in advance our tour even though I had communicated with the company and the guide quite clearly what we wanted to do and see. The start time was changed the night before because the guide had another tour scheduled that was arriving earlier than expected. Would not book again with this company.

I tried to post photos but it wouldn’t let me??? I had some nice ones too of BOCA☺️ Santiago was an amazing tour guide | his 10 years of knowledge about … well about EVERYTHING was so very refreshing | he took the time and explained everything to me and I ask HELLA questions lol I don’t know what you guys pay Santiago but PLEASE pay him more (smile) “GRIFF” / @2trillion

Tour was amazing. The only way to see the city! Santiago was absolutely a fabulous host to our tour always answering our questions and showing us every detail to this beautiful city!

Great Experience with an overview of the city, our guide Jael was a strong English speaking guide. She along with the driver Fito offered a fun and educational afternoon around Buenos Aires, This tour is worth the time and a must do.

We had a great time exploring Buenos Aries. Having our own guide allowed us to see what we wanted at the pace that fit us best, especially since it was a very hot day. Maria Laura Lorenzo was as good as we could ask for, and did everything that she could to make our day fantastic!

Gustavo was awesome. We got picked up from our hotel lobby. For the next 3 hours, we walked all around Buenos Aires. He asked us what we'd like to see, we told him, and he took us to Boca to the Boca stadium. He was so sweet and kind throughout the whole tour. He answered all our questions and gave us excellent recommendations. It was a great day! He shared some good stories and knew the answers to any questions about Buenos Aires' history. You'll enjoy this tour. Make sure if you go during the summer to have good shoes and an umbrella for the sun or long selves or anything to protect you from the sun!

Knowledgeable guide, didn’t rush us. Good information. What would have made it better is if the guide bought a map of the area we were walking so we could have tracked our route and marked places we might want to return to. A one sheet map and highlighter couldn’t add much to the cost.

I had been to Buenos Aires before so I was looking for a more local view of the city rather than the typical first-time tour experiences. Santiago met me at Teatro Colon, and after hearing where I had been and experienced, put together an itinerary on the spot that included using buses and the subway to get around town. As we walked and rode around he gave me a glimpse of life in Buenos Aires I had wanted. He was informative, attentive, and fun to spend (a very hot in the 90's) afternoon in Buenos Aires. By the end of the tour I felt a much better connection to the city than the main tourist attractions can provide.

My family had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide, Nadia, was an expert on the city. She did a great job balancing information and making sure we got to enjoy a variety of sites. She was wonderful about making adjustments to the itinerary to meet the needs of our nine year old. We saw so much in a short period of time! We were arriving via cruise ship and were delayed by an hour. The tour company and Nadia were both very responsive and willing to adjust the schedule at the last minute. Thank you Nadia for a great day in Buenos Aires!

Santiago was a very knowledgeable, pleasant and thoughtful guide during our 5 hour, walking tour of Buenos Aires. He coordinated transportation between different venues by bus and subway. We did a lot of walking at a good pace, not stressed. Saw wonderful sites of a variety of attractions. Would highly recommend this.

This is more than a tour, it’s you and a friend walking, talking, enjoying the amazing views and discussing history. I fell in love, with Buenos Aires and Lucrecia! Our now friend(I can’t say less) Amazing tour guide Lucrecia is absolutely incredible, she gave us 1000%, she lead us through the best places of Buenos Aires. Please take this tour, be ready to walk for several hours. Bring comfortable shoes. Gracias Lu! Nos hiciste el día

Interesting, fun and informative. I loved my tour with Alejandra. She was so helpful and very knowledgeable about the history of Buenos Aires. We had a great day walking around the neighborhoods of BA, the famous cementery and the murals of Palermo. We stopped at an interesting coffee spot for a delicious break. It was my favorite part of my trip to BA. I definitely recommend her trip. I felt like a local throughout my day with her.

Wonderful and flexible guide Maxi. He waited 2 hours as our travel from the airport delayed us. He gave us a good overview of important sights and information about life in Buenos Aires.

We organaised a rather extensive itinerary with Class Adventure tours and found the company was very professional and our tour guide in Buenos Aires- Santiago was particularly excellent.

Daniel was the perfect tour guy and a wonderful ambassador for Buenos Aires. He was very knowledgeable, personable and spoke excellent English. I would highly recommend this tour and request Daniel. He made our stay in Buenos Aries a great experience.

Excellent tour and worth it with Alejandro who was a brilliant guide who took us to several different areas of the city

The guide Maria was very friendly and knowledgeable, she explained well all history and facts along the way of our sightseeing route with pace just right! For of us could hear well of her explanations. We have had a wonder time and understand Buenos Aires more like locals! Many thanks to Maria.

Private local tour with Gisela which allowed us to take public transport with confidence. Tour was tailored to our needs. Very satisfied, highly recommended.

This tour was really fun and we saw so much! La Boca is so colorful and entertaining. Think my favorite part, surprisingly to me, was the Recoleta Cemetary. I have never seen anything like it. Our guide, Santiago, was super knowledgeable and flexible if we wanted to stop along the way. Gracias!!

My husband and I were picked up at our local hotel, and started our local walking tour, public transport included. Went to the markets and visited La Boca , loved La boca so much went back for a wonderful Aregintinian lunch on the bbq. Great day.

Gisela provided an exceptional tour and was a true professional in every manner. We highly recommend Gisela if you desire a tailored and terrific tour of BA!

We booked through Viator. Our guide was Gisela Reynoso and we highly recommend her. This tour will give you a great overview of Buenos Aires and catch the main sights. The tour included public transport and coffee in a cafe. Gisela checked beforehand if we were able/liked to walk (which we did) and the tour was at the right pace and very informative. We covered so much in the time that we had and Gisela made sure we were having a great experience as she showed us round her beautiful city. Thank you Gisela!

I highly recommend this tour be the first thing you do when you arrive. It gives you a great deal of knowledge about the history of Buenos Aires and various neighborhoods in the main area. We saw the cemetery, churches, government buildings, toured various neighborhoods, sipped hot chocolate in a famous cafe, had pastries along the way and ate lunch in a restaurant that we would never have tried on our own. All was included in our tour including multiple bus rides. It was a private tour and worth every penny. The guide had so much knowledge to share that we could do this tour three times and still get new information we missed the first two times. We booked through TripAdvisor and our guide picked us up at our hotel and off we went. She was full of knowledge. Highly recommend.

Excellent Experience. Our tour guide Maria was right on time. She was organized, and everything went perfectly. She was extremely informative, and took us to the top spots as well as some interesting, but not so touristy spots. We thoroughly enjoyed, and would highly recommend.

<p>Juan was a great tour guide, answered all our questions, gave history on the sites he showed us...lots of time to look at something we were very interested in, and moved us along if we were finished.</p>

<p>Totally worth it, our tour guide was awesome, we went to markets where the locals shopped, bakery and back of restaurants to see them preparing stuff, back streets of La Boca to see al the graffiti art, local bus from La Boca to Palemo that was interesting, they crazy drivers, would do the tour again if get back to Buenos Aries</p>

<p>What a nightmare !! Would never book anything with this company again beware. Never got to do the tour. Our plane was delayed so couldn't make the booking spent hours trying contact them to let them know impossible to contact and once contacted. Not willing to dicuss problem said we needed to pay again if we wanted to rebook. Tried contacting viator to pass on messages and everthing absolute nightmare so please be careful booking a tour with them. You can't contact them by email. Very sad as this was our first experience with people in Argentina lucky we meet some good people doing the city on our own.</p>

<p>While I have been on a private tour of Buenos Aires before I thoroughly enjoyed this walking and sometimes hop on a bus tour. Whereas my previous tour focused primarily on the historical aspects of Buenos Aires, this tour includes many of the social and contemporary cultural aspects of life in Buenos Aires. Our fabulous guide Gisela Reynoso took us to key social spots such as La Biela in Recoleta for coffee and Filiberto Cafe Bar in La Boca for lunch. Be prepared to walk though as we covered 5 miles over the course of 6 hours did we get some bonus time, thanks!. Despite the distance it never felt rushed and the pace was quite relaxed. Highly recommended.</p>

<p>Max was a brilliant guide and was able to answer all our questions about Buenos Aires. He made an effort to take us places we had not already seen and didn't bother with places we had been to already, which was great. Cannot speak highly enough of him,</p>

Les explications de la guide ont fait toute la différence pour un tour exemplaire. A recommander pour commencer une visite de BA.

I booked this tour with Viator. Pick up very punctual and a very gentle and available guide. Beautiful quartier of the Mouth and Retail with the monumental cemetery. The best way to visit the city
