Private small group tour of Buenos Aires - Our guide Martin And driver Alvaro were wonderful. They had everything thing prepared ( snacks, restaurant booking, umbrellas, soft drinks etc.) based on our needs. They knew the history and sports and were able to show everything we wanted to see.

Best private tour we have ever had! - Martin Yankelevich was great! Martin began communicating with us via WhatsAp as soon as the reservation was made (months before the tour) to ask what we wanted to see. He continued his communications up until the day prior and picked us up at our hotel on time in a luxury vehicle. We were touring prior to a cruise and had planned a half-day intercity tour the following day. Martin tailored our tour to exclude things we might see on the half-day tour. Martin took us to the Lagos de Palermo city park, the Japanese Gardens, the Recoleta Cemetery and neighborhood, China Town, the water front with the Woman's Bridge, and last but not least La Boca. La Boca is a poor Buenos Aires neighborhood that has become a tourist district, has many police, has great food and sights, and is a must-see. Martin was by far the most professional private guide that we have encountered in our worldwide travels. Martin provided drinks and snacks as part of the tour. Thanks for a great tour, Martin!

GREAT Buenos Aires tour - Martin Y was great! He communicated with us weeks prior to our arrival. We were picked up on time at our hotel and taken to many Buenos Aires sites we would have never seen without Martin. Drinks and snacks were provided. Take this tour and ask for Martin.

A very personalized tour and well worth it! - Martin was a wonderful tour guide, very attentive. He would open the doors for us, had drinks and snacks in the car as well as very accommodating to our interests. He was a wealth of information. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend him and this service.

Your Buenos Aires Must Do! - We can not recommend this Private City Tour with Martin Yankelevich highly enough. He worked very diligently by email before we arrived, making suggestions and listening to our likes and dislikes, to come up with a day that would be specifically suited to our interests. Martin was able to suggest a tour itinerary that captured everything we hoped to see and do and more. He was also able to be flexible on the day as time and the weather dictated. Martin had wonderful local knowledge and had great judgement in his recommendations and restaurant choice. It enriched our visit to Buenos Aires, was a relaxing day allowing his lead, while very interesting and memorable. We were truly thrilled with our decision to do this.

Introduction to other parts of BA - I had an enjoyable day with Martin. He is a very courteous young man who is delighted to build up his business. We spent a lot of time in the northern barrios of Belgrado and Palermo and went to Recoleta Cemetery and the Japanese Gardens. After all that we really only had time to drive through Puerto Madero down to La Boca. We could probably easily have rejigged it to spend more time in the centre. He will go with the flow of whether you want a full lunch or a quick snack. It was a full day from 8:30 till 5 and well worth it.
