Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We had a vehicle to move from site to site but also got out to walk around or in the places which was nice. We ended at a very nice restaurant on the guises recommendation.

Great review of the architecture of Buenos Aires

Kelly_h, Nov 2025
My guide was wonderful… I had already walked around Buenos Aires before the tour, but my guide adjusted and provided a lot of new and interesting facts

A Friendly Tour, made to feel like a local. Fun at every turn.

Alexandra was such a blessing to us. We are in Buenos Aires for our honeymoon and had an open day that we wanted to fill. The architecture tour and Alexandra‘s knowledge of the city were so wonderful. She gave us so many great recommendations and so many great ideas of things to do while we’re here and upon our hopeful return. Her driver was excellent and made every stop seamless. The tour was comfortable, informative, and fun. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good tour of the city especially in their native tongue (of which she knows many) Thank you so much for all that you did. We can’t wait to see you again.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour!

This was a very interesting and informative tour! Learning about the history of the city through its architecture was a fun experience. The tour covered the architecture is a couple different areas, most within 10 minutes of the driving. Our tour guide and the driver were both very friendly, and the guide was very knowledgeable. She provided great information on the history and culture of the city. She also gave us great recommendations on what other things to see. Per her suggestion, we went and found a tour to La Recoleta Cemetery in the afternoon. The juxtaposition of seeing the grand buildings and the mausoleums in one day and and hearing about the stories of the people inhabited in these places was an unique memory from our trip!

Exploring Different Architectural Styles

Mariella tailored the tour to your needs. You could get out of the car and take pictures when you wanted to. Also, other things were discussed like Argentine culture and politics.

Excellent guide

Our guide, Julieta, was excellent. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Buenos Aires and Argentina. Her expertise added a huge dimension to viewing the buildings and touring the city.The tour gives one a good and interesting basis for a few of the city’s highlights.

RonaldPeter_B, May 2024
Alexandra did a phenomenal job Explaining the key architectural points of Buenos Aires. Our daughter is in a Masters of Architecture program and she throughly enjoyed the tour. Alexandra was able to flex the half day tour to meet our needs. We were able to join the tour of the a theatre Colon in time. Thanks for the outstanding tour. Highly recommended!

Buenos Aires Perfection

Oliver_B, Feb 2024
Our guide Carolina was superb! She took us on a totally personalized tour of Buenos Aires - we felt like our needs were understood, and she delivered. We'd highly recommend.

Interesting buildings in Buenos Aires

Dorothy_M, Jan 2024
We saw some interesting buildings that we would not have noticed (or for 3, explored the inside) without the guide. Julia was very knowledgeable about the history of the history or each building, as well as the history of the city. In addition to the specific buildings highlighted on the tour, she pointed out features and provided history of quite a few neighboring buildings. By the way, Viator listed this as a 4 hour tour, but the tour guide and the driver said they were hired for a 3 hour tour.
