The experience

You pick the pace and the stops. The tour runs seven hours with a professional guide and private driver at your disposal, so you're not following a fixed itinerary or waiting for other groups. Start from your hotel or cruise terminal, and the driver handles all the navigation while your guide walks you through the city's layers, from the presidential Casa Rosada and the Metropolitan Cathedral (where Pope Francis once worked) to the colorful Caminito street in La Boca and the tree-lined neighborhoods of Palermo and Recoleta. The guide knows which spots fill up early and which ones reward a late arrival, and can adjust the day if you want to linger at a museum or skip a stop entirely.

The van or car fits your group size: one to two travelers in a private car, three to six in a van, or seven to fifteen in a larger van. Fuel is included. You'll see the Obelisk of Buenos Aires, walk through Plaza Dorrego in San Telmo (the city's oldest neighborhood), stop at Café Tortoni if you want coffee in a historic setting, and pass through Puerto Madero's waterfront. If the day is Wednesday through Friday, the guide can include the Roses Park. The National Museum of Fine Arts and other galleries are options depending on your interests. The Cemetery of Recoleta, where Eva Perón is buried, is not included in the tour but can be visited separately.

Hotel or cruise terminal pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't arrange transport to the starting point. Bring a moderate level of fitness for walking through neighborhoods and climbing steps at some sites. Children travel free with an adult. Food and drinks are on you, as are tips for the guide and driver.

What’s included

• Private transportation in a van or car matched to your group size.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

What's the difference between the van and car options?

The private car seats one or two travelers with luggage. The vans accommodate three to six or seven to fifteen people. All three options include the same guide, driver and route flexibility. You're just choosing the vehicle that fits your group size.

Can I skip the famous landmarks and explore neighborhoods instead?

Yes. The itinerary includes Plaza de Mayo, La Boca and Recoleta as starting points, but your guide will tailor the day to what interests you: street art in Palermo, the markets of San Telmo, museums, or quieter residential areas. Tell the guide your preferences when you book.

What is Caminito and why is it on the tour?

Caminito is the iconic pedestrian street in La Boca, lined with colorful buildings and tango history. It's one of Buenos Aires' most recognizable spots, and your guide can explain the neighborhood's past and present as you walk through it.

Is the Cemetery of Recoleta included?

No, the cemetery is not part of the tour. However, it's in the Recoleta neighborhood, which you'll visit, so you can ask your guide for directions if you want to see it separately on your own time.

How much walking is involved?

You'll walk through neighborhoods and around landmarks, with some climbing at certain sites. The operator recommends at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The pace is yours: your guide adjusts based on how long you want to spend at each stop.
