Highlights

Plaza de Mayo - The May Square is located in the Porteño Downtown, neighborhood of Monserrat, in the area where the foundation of Buenos Aires took place. The Plaza de Mayo is the most important and oldest public square of the city. The name of this square commemorates the Revolution of May 25, 1810, date in which the citizens gathered around to expel the Viceroy and form a creole government. Since then, the Square has been a silent witness to the most important political and social events in the country.

Excellent Tour of Buenos Aires! - Jessica led our tour of Buenos Aires, and we had a great time. It's a nice mix of some walking and then driving, being able to relax and get a grasp on just how big the city is. I'd suggest this for either a one day quick visit of the city, or take this tour early in your trip so you can pick out where you'd like to return to. We had just stayed in the Palermo neighborhood and learned to much more about it. You will feel very comfortable telling your friends and family that you've got a solid understanding of 4-5 neighborhoods in Buenos Aires.

Time flies when you’re on an amazing city tour!!!! - Simply put this was an amazing city tour of Buenos Aires that gave me a better understanding of the city’s history & culture. Pick up & drop off at my hotel helped to edge out similar city tour options. Little did I know that this tour would have such a fun & knowledgeable guide in Jael (other tour guides pale in comparison).

Very informative tour - Great tour. It covered all highlights plus we had walking time with several stops. It was informative yet not too much to give a first impression of the city. Will do more deep dives later in the next trip.

Excellent tour - Our tour guide was excellent. We walked around the city, stopped at key locations and learned about the Argentinian culture and traditions. If you have the time (it was a long tour, but time went by quickly), I would recommend you take this tour before exploring the city on your own. The only thing that would be important to know is that you don't stop for lunch, there is a lot to see, and we ended the tour around 2:30pm. Totally recommend it!

First time visit Buenos Aires - Yael’s expertise as a guide opened up Buenos Aires as a beautiful city of eclectic architectural and design styles, cultures, steeped in the nation’s history. Recommend this tour as the starting point of your trip to gather what you’d like to discover more in detail if you plan to spend a few days in Buenos Aires.

To miss the opportunity - This was fantastic. It was on an air conditioner bus. They pick you at your hotel and then took you to several places where you had the chance to get off and take pictures. Who is the lovely experience definitely recommend it. And the guy was super funny too.

Great little tour - Great little tour around the main sites and attractions. Also had several stops to walk around and take pictures. Good option if you don’t have a lot of time in the city and want to cover a lot. Nice comfortable van that can accommodate small groups. Our tour guide Facundo was super informative. Picked up promptly from our our hotel. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend
