Highlights
- Plaza Estado del Vaticano - “Buenos Aires in a day” is an ecological and fun tour that aims to convey the anecdotes and concepts of the things that define us as Argentines, while we travel 16 km on electric scooters and visit the most iconic places in our city.
During our experience you will learn a little about Argentine cuisine and its origins, so we will share three gastronomic experiences:
- In the first snack experience with “Mate” (typical Argentine infusion) and “Alfajor” (typical Argentine cookie filled with dulce de leche).
- In the second experience we will try a cheese bread called “Chipá” and our famous herb “Fernet”.
- The third experience consists of trying our typical craft beer with a choripán (bread with chorizo, accompanied by our typical chimichurri sauce).
You will fall in love with Argentina so much that we are not responsible if you later want to stay and live here…

Beautiful day in Buenos Aires! - Mike and Rita did a great job explaining how the scooters worked and made sure we could use them before we went on tour. Mike was very knowledgeable about Argentina’s history and provided us with information at each stop along the way. He was very flexible with the time spent at each spot and allowed us to stop and take pictures along the way. We would definitely recommend this tour if you have a few hours to spend in Buenos Aires and want to see some of the main landmarks.

Best way to see the city not on foot. - The guide, Mike, was very personable and showed the city and its history well. He made the whole experience feel safe weaving through the streets of the city I was not familiar with. Thank you Mike for a great first time experience!

DON'T HESITATE! BOOK THIS TOUR NOW! - Wow, where to begin. Miguel, who ran the tour, was sooooo great. He was super knowledgeable about the area and made us actually want to learn about the city--we were hanging on his every word! We learned so much and saw so much--it was truly the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend taking this tour early in your trip--we saw EVERYTHING and then knew what neighborhoods/areas we wanted to return to to spend time in throughout the rest of the week. Miguel had great recommendations for us too. All four of us could not stop talking about Miguel and how great this experience was all week long!

A perfect Buenos Aires experience! - Miguel and Rita gave us the perfect tour of Buenos Aires.
It is one thing to see the sights and learn about them - however, it is entirely another to LIVE the adventure.
Rita communicated with me very well via WhatsApp the day prior to our tour. My husband and I took an Uber to the meeting point, which is right outside the Opera House, and it was very easy to find Rita with the electric scooters. Miguel gives a very easy explanation on how to ride the scooters, and even though it was my first time using one, I had so much fun!
While it was amazing to see everything on the list and hear Miguel's explanation of the history of each place, what I really enjoyed was hanging out with Miguel and Rita. I loved eating alfajores and drinking mate while looking at the Puente de la Mujer, drinking Fernet and eating cheese bread while looking at the Floralis Generica, and lastly, eating choripan! It was a very personal experience.
What was most surprising is that Rita takes pictures and video during the tour, so I had footage of us riding scooters without having to worry about having my phone out the entire time. Lastly, they provide a list of all the recommendations of where to go/eat after the tour.
I felt like Mike and Rita go above and beyond to ensure that this is a good experience - they even helped us exchange money and said to let them know if we needed anything during our stay in Buenos Aires.
I highly recommend this tour - please don't hesitate to book it. I would live this experience all over again if I could! Thank you so much, Miguel and Rita!

Hubby had fun. - I had to cancel last minute during the practice because the seat wasn’t working or secured properly. Every time I shifted the seat titled and I came off and also I couldn’t get the balance because both my knees are replaced. Husband went on his own and because there was only him the tour went quickly but hubby enjoyed the ride.
