We loved the street tour in La Boca and our signed artist's souvenir. The full tour was pretty comprehensive.
Colleen_S, Jan 2022
Joe and Omar were a great team. The tour was personalized as to what I wanted to do and see. The guide, Joe, was extremely knowledgeable, fun, and interesting to listen to. The best tour I signed up for during my short visit, saw everything I wanted to see, including a museum, Caminito, embassy row, and drive-by's past important buildings and monuments, with the flexibility to get out and take pictures as I wanted. Will be recommending this tour to friends that will be visiting soon.

Do not use this tour group. We paid for a private tour in Buenos Aires and paid for it. No one showed, their emergency number went to voicemail then when trying to get our money they refused to take responsibility.
Edie_T, Mar 2019
Although our ship was more than 6 hours late the guide and driver waited for us to meet up. This tour of the city and La Boca was fabulous, lots of walking and meeting local people. Such a marvelous narrative of the history of the country and the city. This tour operator gets high marks for a great tour and extreme consideration of the unusual circumstances of its clients.
Ricardo_P, Feb 2018
Great tour! Visited major places that a new tourist should see. Loved the Eva Peron monument and burial place. Highly recommended. Our tour guide Elan was very informative. After we were dropped off, Elan gave us an extra tour of the San Telmo vicinity where our hotel is located.

Our guide, Lauren, was outstanding. We had just a short time before boarding our cruise out of Buenos Aires and Lauren definitely helped us use that time wonderfully. We probably saw more in one morning/afternoon than some people do in four or five days.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that Lauren helped you make the most of your time in Buenos Aires and that you were able to see so much before your cruise.

The guide was in such a hurry we chased after her the entire time. It was as if she had something else to do and we were in the way. It gave us a good perspective of the city which we could then explore on our own. In booking a private your it was our thought prior that we would be asked for some feedback as yo what was most important for us yo see. I would recommend the your but not the guide we had.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you were able to see the highlights of Buenos Aires and explore the city further on your own. We sincerely apologize that your guide did not meet your expectations in terms of pace and attentiveness.

Joe did a great job at giving us the highlights of the city. He was quite knowledgable of Argentine history and United States history. He was also funny and personable. There were 4 of us in a clean spacious van with Joe and a driver, Daniel.

The tour was very good. There is a lot to see in a 4 hour period and we got to see the majority of the highlights we read about. We stopped several times and walked around the rose garden, Evita's grave and more , but I wish we had been able to stop even more and walk around, but I understand given the time limits. I also wanted to commend the driver as he did an excellent job
Response from Host, Aug 2025

Very nice tour with Jose as the guide. Just the 2 of us in a sedan with the guide and driver. We visited all the neighborhoods advertised. Spent a bit more time at the cathedral at our request. This is a very good way to become acquainted with Buenos Aires without being part of a big tour. Gives you a bit more control over your schedule and pace.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed your private tour with Jose and had a great introduction to Buenos Aires, including extra time at the cathedral.

It was an interesting experience, however instead of mostly driving around they should allow for more stops so people could see things better. But, it might help as a start if you've never been in the city.

We were lucky to have Gisela as our guide, and the experience was more like visiting BA with an old friend eager to show us her City with passion and competence. Well done.
