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.

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

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!

Must do food tour

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!

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!

Kristopher_D, Jun 2026

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.

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

Great food and experience. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Look forward doing this again.

A must

Evan_O, May 2026
A great gastronomic journey! I highly recommend taking this on an empty stomach. Each spot offered something different as our guide told us a little about its history as well as of Buenos Aires. As delicious as it was interesting.

Angela_F, May 2026
Denis led a great tour of several restaurants that gave us a good overview of cuisine in Buenos Aires. There were also some detours to fun spots in the Palermo neighborhood. We had a great time.

A Must-Do Food Experience in Buenos Aires - Maya Made It Unforgettable

Kristen_M, May 2026
This tour was one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Buenos Aires. Maya was incredible, so warm, personable, knowledgeable, and engaging from the start. Being on this tour alone (a lovely couple also joined), I especially appreciated how comfortable and welcomed she made me feel right away. The food and drinks were amazing, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, but what really made the experience special was Maya herself. She didn’t just take us to great restaurants and shops, she explained the culture, history, traditions, and stories behind everything we ate and drank, as well as the history of the restaurants and the Palermo neighborhood itself. It gave me such a deeper appreciation for Buenos Aires. By the end of the tour, I felt like I had truly experienced Palermo instead of just visiting it. Maya’s warmth, passion, and knowledge made the entire experience unforgettable. This is an absolute MUST for anyone visiting Buenos Aires. Highly, highly recommend!

Great food with great vibes!

Aristeo_C, May 2026
This was a lot of fun and topped off with some great food, with even better people. I did my tour with Kiki, and she was absolutely great! Gave us lots of history lessons while walking the streets of Palermo Soho. Food was honestly fantastic. My tour had 4 stops, one for appetizers, one for a snack, one for a main course, and finished with sweets and dessert! The Spanish tortilla was delicious! The steak was expectedly good, but the highlight of the tour was definitely the Chori-pan. Definitely going to look for it back home in California! I recommend this tour 100 % !

Sooo much food! It was...

Rudy_E, May 2026
Sooo much food! It was excellent, so come hungry! Only complaint was that our guide seemed to feel she had to fill every moment with chatter even when it wasn’t interesting or informative.
