Our tour guide was Kiki. She took us on a fabulous journey experiencing local food and culture. She was so knowledgeable about Buenos Aires. She created such a warm experience and the 5 other people in the group all bonded. This was such a great experience I highly recommend taking. One of the best things we did in Buenos Aires

This food tour was delicious, educational and so much fun! Denis was an outstanding guide and so well versed in both Argentine cuisine and culture! I will absolutely recommend Denis and this tour to friends and family who visit Buenos Aires!

Must do!

Best food tour with the best guide!

Andria_S, Sep 2026
BEST food tour in Buenos Aires. Denis is a truly special guide, taking our group to really unique and delicious restaurants. Plus, he shared a lot of cultural history, pointed out interesting places/information about the neighborhood, and took time to get to know each of us along the way. He is fun, personable, and made it feel like we were dining with friends. I definitely recommend his tour to anyone visiting this amazing foodie city.

Would definitely recommend!

Nathan_L, Sep 2026
Kate was an awesome guide. We got to enjoy several different Argentinian foods and learn about the culture. Would highly recommend!

Foodie Argentina

Tricia_F, Aug 2026
Very experienced guide with great local knowledge Each venue was accomodating to my dietary requirements

The BEST food tour ever!

Sandra_F, Aug 2026
Lu made this terrific experience even better! She is so knowledgeable and charming. The food choices were spot on and we learned so much about Argentinian customs and culture. I have been on many food tours around the world and this is clearly one of the best! Do not miss it!

Amazing food tour, great to get your bearings

Charlie_C, Aug 2026
By pure luck, my girlfriend and I found ourselves in Argentina during the world cup. I honestly gave it a coin flips chance that our tour guide would cancel this tour on us since it was smack dab in the middle of the Argentina vs England Match. However we met our guide as planned and enjoyed literally one of the top 5 food tours we've been on. Now I will concede the aura of seeing people tango in the street to celebrate Argentina's victory may sway opinion, but what a way to start our Argentinian vacation. By the way, it's well worth the upgrade sherpa food tours offers especially if your a carnivore such the both us in my party. Completely recommend this fabulous and filling your.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

What an incredible memory! Thank you so much for sharing that story. Experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of Buenos Aires during the World Cup while enjoying a fantastic meal is truly unbeatable. We're thrilled to be in your top 5!

Incredibly knowledgeable guides

LuciaS, Aug 2026
Katy was an incredible tour guide. She was so passionate about food and drink, and gave us detailed recommendations about wine to take home. She could even tell a wine brand from my very blurry photos. Incredible knowledge! Not only of cuisine but of the city, country and its history.

Amazing experience with Mia

We have been lucky to try many food tours and the one by Mia was elegant , delicious and so very interesting. Even w a gluten issue she was flawless in delivery. Great way to know the culture in Buenos Aires as well

This tour was really fun....

Kevin_R, Jul 2026
This tour was really fun. Our guide, Maya, was amazing, and we were definitely glad we skipped breakfast beforehand. The parrilla and wine was a real highlight.

Thank you, Maya!

Alina_B, Jul 2026
This was a lovely experience. Maya was very sweet and informative. She did not only want to share information with the group but tried to get to know the tour participants as well. It felt like we were spending time with friends while enjoying good food and wine and getting to know a different culture. We always do food tours when traveling, and this one did not disappoint.

Must do food tour

dn7hy8w8mg, Jul 2026
Maya was our fabulous guide - ended up being total of 12 of us in the group. We had four stops plus a bonus pre-dessert stop. We arrived in Buenos Aires last night and we loved this introduction to some of the wonderful tastes of this beautiful city. Hubby said empanada was best he’d ever had. My favorites were the fainá and the fried cheese - first time having those and hopefully will get more during our time in BA. Thank you Maya and Sherpa tours for great start on our first full day in BA!

Excellent guide in stanko...

Food tasting with a local

Migdarelis_C, Jun 2026
Lu was our tour guide. She was excellent very informative and fiendly. We loved every stop we made. My highlight was the tortilla, my husband was the asado. It is perfect if you want to experience a taste of local food and local area you would not even find if you are not with a local.

Walk Palermo and eat great food!

Tasty tour

Janette_S, Jun 2026
A great tour. We tried lots of delicious food all specialties of Buenas Aires. Our guide, Stan, was very friendly and informative. We enjoyed the walking tour and seeing some hidden art work as well as the food. Make sure you’re hungry as there is plenty of food.

Yummy and generous experience - go HUNGRY!

Serena_L, Jun 2026
Lots of yummy food so go hungry. Would’ve been exciting to try some more unknown or regional foods not offered in mainstream markets but the quality and quantity were all excellent. Our guide was a foodie and clearly appreciated quality. Nice that wine and alcohol included in the price of the tour!

Must Do! Top Experience in Buenos Aires

Natalie_K, Jun 2026
As a solo traveler who was only in Buenos Aires for 3 days, this was a great way to sample restaurants that I would have not found otherwise nor have had enough meals throughout my stay in Buenos Aires to visit. The tour guide was fantastic and provided not only food facts, but stories about the region’s history. I was able to meet some fellow travelers and enjoy an evening dining with others. I even met a few fantastic people who happened to be on my Antarctica cruise. I highly recommend taking this tour not only in Buenos Aires, but also in other cities where Food Sherpa operates.

A Must Do!

Jessica_Z, Jun 2026
Maya was our guide and we absolutely loved her passion for what she does. She was very informative of not just the restaurant but the location and the community. All our food destinations were superb and left us wanting to visit again. We would definitely recommend anyone, first timers or regulars, to book this tour.

Kristine_S, Jun 2026
Our guide Dennis made this tour amazing. His knowledge of the city and the food industry was fantastic. He made this tour very interesting and had lots of wonderful information to give us.

Great guide to Argentina cuisine!

Micah_S, Jun 2026
The tour guide Dennis was exceptional. Show up hungry to the tour as you go to multiple restaurants as well as chocolate shop and even gelato. Food was great and learned about the history of Palermo Soho.

Tons of delicious food...

Andrew_A, Jun 2026
Tons of delicious food and drink, quirky area of town, and our guide, Lu, beamed joy while making everything fun. One of our stops was a Michelin star restaurant where we had a chickpea pie (Fainá) with an egg pie on top, and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted!

Maya perfect guide
