The guide offers advice on restaurants, shows and other tours while you're in the city. Pickup is included; air-conditioned vehicle throughout.

Step-by-step itinerary

The Experience

You arrive in Buenos Aires with a free afternoon or a first morning, and the guide picks you up in a modern, air-conditioned car. The route is yours to shape: the Cathedral where Pope Francis served as Archbishop before his papacy, the Mausoleum of San Martín (Argentina's independence hero), Plaza de Mayo with its European-style architecture and the May Pyramid, or the leather factory where you can browse jackets, belts and wallets at factory prices. The guide steers you toward what matters to you and fills the drive with stories about the city's culture, its people and the neighborhoods you're moving through.

San Telmo pulls you into cobblestone streets lined with antique shops, art graffiti and the churches and tango venues where the music was born. Parque Lezama is the only square in the city that isn't flat—old trees and small hills break up the landscape. The Boca Juniors stadium area comes with souvenir shops and the weight of soccer history; Caminito Street and the Boca neighborhood are where tango was created, and the guide walks you into the main tourist draw of the city while keeping the neighborhood itself visible. At the end, you stop at the National Geographic-recognized bookstore—a converted theater with ornate ceilings, thousands of books and a coffee shop where you can sit if the day has worn you out.

Throughout the tour, you taste local products: wines, mate (the traditional tea), dulce de leche caramel and alfajores (the sandwich cookies). A tango show is included at Caminito. The guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese and offers recommendations for restaurants, shows and other tours you might want to book separately while you're in Buenos Aires.

Is this one for you?Choose this tour if you want to build your own route instead of following a fixed itinerary—the guide handles the driving and the stories while you decide which neighborhoods and landmarks matter to you, which works well for a first visit when you're not sure what to prioritize or for a return trip when you know exactly what you want to see.
