Worth the cost! - The tour had a great selection of local restaurants and food options. Stan, the tour guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us a lot of interesting information about the city and its culinary traditions. There was a good mix of walking and eating. The only recommendation would be to have another dessert stop at the end. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour with Stan and tasting the delicious food

Best food tour ever !!!!! - The Palermo food tour was a highlight of my trip to Buenos Aires. Our guide was knowledgeable, and we enjoyed a great mix of local dishes—from empanadas to asado—at both popular and hidden spots. It was a perfect way to dive into Argentine food culture. Highly recommend for any food lover! Kate was the best host!

Awesome Buenos Aires Food Tour - Excellent walking food tour! We ate our way through Palermo SoHo! Several stops to try so many of the traditional Argentinian foods. Portions were large and no one left hungry! Kate was the guide and she was so friendly and knowledgeable not only about the food but also about the neighborhood!
