We learned a lot about the history of Argentinian Jews. About the attacks of 1992 and 1994 in Buenos Aires, visited the memorials, and also visited the jewel of Buenos Aires- the oldest synagogue of the town. It was an emotional and spiritual experience. Thank you.

Matias Aysenberg is a superb guide to Jewish Buenos Aires but behind that knowledgable and heartfelt about the military dictatorship from the Perons and since. Don’t miss this tour
Laurence_E, Nov 2025
Great tour of Jewish Buenos Aires by our expert tour guide Ezekiel.Learned a great deal about history and present situation in Argentina.
Courtney_L, May 2025
This experience was great and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. We visited two synagogues, one reform and the other orthodox. We also visited the Jewish museum attached to the Libertad synagogue, and explored the neighborhood of Once. Our tour guide, Matias, was very informative and answered all our questions. We got to see the unique blend of Ashkenazi and Sephardic culture in the city, and Matias even took us to a place that sells (very delicious!) Sephardic food in Once. If you are Jewish or not Jewish, you should take this tour. You will surely learn a lot and have a very good experience! 10/10

My cruise included several land tours. Prior to leaving port I suffered a fall resulting in a broken hip. I was taken off of the ship and sent to a hospital. All of the tours offered a full refund with the exception of this one.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We are truly sorry to hear about your accident and wish you a smooth recovery. Unfortunately, in this case the seats had already been purchased in advance and could not be cancelled.
Best regards,

Synagogues. The original jewish neighborhood in Buenos Aires. The history of the jews to Buenos aires

Matías was very engaging, knowledgeable, and friendly (and very easy to understand). He asked our preferences and met them. Our driver, Pablo, was safe and steady. All in all, the experience couldn’t have been better - top notch in every way,
Harriet_A, Mar 2023
I most enjoyed walking around the Once neighborhood, the Orthodox hub in Buenos Aires. And being there on Purim added another level of insight into the community.
Lou, Feb 2023
Mati (guide)and Manuel (driver)with were just great people to spend time with on this tour. Very informative with a rare opportunity to see spectacular synagogues in Buenos Aires. Highest recommendation!

Claudia was our tour guide and gave us a wonderful experience. We learned so much about the Jewish community in BA. We toured many sites in a private car.
Susan_J, Feb 2023
Unfortunately the tour operator kept changing the time on us, and then the tour guide showed up before we were at the hotel, six hours earlier than the time listed. When our hotel checked with them, they couldn't get another guide so the tour operator canceled on us. Very disappointing.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Hi,
As the owner of BA Tour Guire I apoligize for the inconvenience.
There was a confusion with the guide and she blocked the morning to be with you instead of the afternoon. When we realized about the mistake it was too late and we couldn't find any tour guide available. There are very few Jewish guides in BA and they are all very busy in high touristy season.
Again, I am sorry. We learned something from this mistake and are improving the way we work to avoid things like this could happen again.
Franci_V, Jan 2023
Very informative. And excellent human beings. The guide very savvy in the subject of the heritage of Jews in Argentina. For me was a whole new perspective of this culture. A++
Anne_H, Jan 2023
Our tour guide, Matias, was super friendly and a wealth of knowledge.
We learned a lot about the Jewish community in Argentina and many other topics related to Argentinian history and politics. We will highly recommend this tour.
Thomas_O, Jan 2023
Matias was extraordinary and showed us many aspects of Jewish life in Buenos Aires. Very knowledgeable and engaging.
Debbie_L, Dec 2022
Gabriel gave a very informative tour of the history of the Jewish people in Argentina. We saw many relevant sights. I would highly recommend this tour!
Sadie_K, Mar 2022
Ariela took us on an outstanding tour. She was so knowledgeable not only about Jewish history in Buenos Aires, but Argentinean and general history overall. She balanced synagogues with other historical sites. I would highly recommend this tour and Ariela as your guide. Go on a Friday afternoon and you'll witness the hustle and bustle before Shabbat as an added bonus while you walk around the Jewish neighborhoods.
Anna_S, Mar 2020
Our tour Guide Mattheos(Mathew) was wonderful.
he was on-time.
Gave us a lot of information about the City and pretty big size of jewish community.
The pace was good for us( We are late 70)
There is a big presence of Jewish community in buenos Aires.
next day we took a regular city tour and they did not mention anything about jews in the city, and especially about the bombings .
What a shame!
We are delighted that we took this tour and gave Mat's info to another couple at the hotel.
Thank you, Mat!

Ariel was a wonderful tour guide. His knowledge of Buenos Ares is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the important Jewish sites. Also, our driver was great.
Rena_H, Jan 2020
The tour felt individualized and very personal. Elan was a fantastic tour guide and knew the community particularly well. He brought the history alive for us.
Marsha_L, Jan 2020
We arranged this as part of our visit to Buenos Aires through our travel agent. Our guide, Elon, was extremely knowledgeable, and we went to the site of the Israel Embassy bombing, AMIA building, the Jewish part of the city as well as two synagogues and the museum. He was our museum guide as well. Don’t miss this!
Ronald A, Dec 2019
Ilan was a fantastic guide and provided a tremendous insight into Jewish life and culture from the 19th century to the present. His English was incredible and knowledge of politics that had affected Jewish life in the 20th Century and today's younger generation provided a memorable tour. If you have the time, book this tour with Ilan, you will be pleased!
Edward_G, Dec 2019
Great private tour that provided us with an in-depth understanding of the history, culture, and Jewish way of life in Buenos Aires. The tour guide shared his extensive knowledge of the Jewish community.
Barry_F, Mar 2019
Our guide, Elan, provided extensive information and history of local Jewish communities as well as political history. The tour was a good length of time and the walking in the neighborhood enjoyable. Definitely worth doing!

Our guide, Arielle, is a warm and gracious hostess, welcoming us into her community with not only historical information but personal insights. It would have been nice if we could have had access to more synagogues.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you! We’re glad Ariela provided a warm and informative experience. We appreciate your suggestion about visiting more synagogues and will keep it in mind for future tours.
