Plentiful, authentic food - great history. - This tour saved me - I didn't know where to eat in Buenos Aires, what to order, what to see. In fact, I was rather overwhelmed by the possibilities. This tour was great as we started with a light, traditional Argentinian breakfast and proceeded from there. We toured and learned about the Botanical Garden, Palermo Soho with its vibrant street art and progressive community vegetable garden fed by the city's compost and we even learned how difficult it is to score a card to ride public transportation, which, like the rest of the vehicles in the city, is rather crazy as we saw in Plaza Italia. The food was great and it was served in such portions and we did enough walking that it never seemed like too much. We ate at a neighborhood parrilla rather than a tourist trap one. We had amazing cheese at one stop and I discovered my new favorite drink - limonada!! The amount of meals you get and the information you learn and the sites you see for the price is phenomenal. If I had done this one my own, I would have spent significantly more, ordered incorrectly and missed the story behind the sites, not to mention a lot of the sites themselves. I cannot believe what I got for the price. ALL the meals are included in your tour price!

A great 'taste' of urban Argentina! - We very much enjoyed this unique local experience with our expert guide, Agustin! It's hard to find an experience that combines history, art, food, wine and great conversation - all in a half day's leisurely stroll around such a beautiful city. It was my wife's favorite part of our time in Buenos Aires! We would highly recommend this casual outing to get a great 'taste' of urban Argentina...

A great food tour! - We had a fantastic day with Josefina. We explored several parts of Palermo, stopping for amazing food - including black sausage, steak, empanadas and gelato. Josephine was very knowledgeable, providing just the right amount of information and history about the area, making it personable and accessible. We learned a lot from her! I’d highly recommend this company, the communication was great and it was absolutely good value.

Palermo history and food experience! Not to be missed! - A great tour of Palermo and vicinity with Frank who gave us great insights to both the rich local history as well as a wonderful food adventure. The combination of both were just perfect. Made it fun, got in some needed walking and the conversation was wonderful. His ability to customize to what we wanted was the best and we will be returning for much more! P.S. the wine tasting was amazing.

Wonderful Day Tour - We started our visit to Buenos Aires with this tour and it was so much better than we anticipated it would be! We are so glad we discovered it. Our guide, Josefina, was absolutely wonderful. We started at a small restaurant where we had typical medialunas and my husband had a typical drink, a submarine, which was new to us. While we ate, Josefina learned about us andmour interests and explained the tour to us. Josefina’s English is perfect and she is very knowledgeable about Buenos Aires history, culture, and food. We visited many sites that we would have never seen if it had not been for this tour. Josefina explained to us all about General Garibaldi in Plaza Italia and after giving us some of his history, she pulled out a thermos of Garibaldi drinks! Our tour included a wine tasting which was in a beautiful boutique hotel. We had a delicious steak at a little local place that we would never have chosen on our own. Throughout the tour, Josefina related history in a meaningful way and she was also able to tell us about current events in Argentina. She has a nice sense of humor. The day flew by! After the tour, Frank sent us a beautiful photo album along with more information about monuments and murals we saw. And, Josefina helped me findna store that sells those little white penguin pitchers . This tour is well worth the price. One of the best ever. Go!

Wonderful day interacting with Palermo in Buenos Aires... while eating! - Great tour of the Palermo Barreiro. Fernando was an amazing guide for us. He has on one of the best backgrounds I've ever encountered on a tour and a true lover of Buenos Aires. The food was fantastic and we were well taken care of. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting the city.
