    Flexible itinerary, great conversation

    "Really enjoyed our tour with Rosana. She was not only knowledgeable about the area, but also gave us a good perspective on the Argentinean culture. She met us where we stayed and customized the tour to meet our needs. On top of that, she was an interesting person to talk to, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a private tour. "

    A great way to explore Palermo

    "Aida was a wonderfully friendly tour guide who helped us explore the beautiful Palermo neighborhood. The street art and the murals here are incredible and I highly recommend the tour to see an area beyond the more touristy sites. Ava did a great job weaving the history of Buenos Aires through the murals we were seeing. She was also very conscientious and made sure to keep a good pace, checking consistently to make sure whether we needed breaks. "

    TOP NOTCH

    "I wanted a tour that felt a bit more local and less like the usual tourist experience, and Inés absolutely nailed it. She’s super easy to talk to and really knows Buenos Aires inside out, not just the history, but also the everyday life, art and food culture. She was very flexible and adjusted everything to what I felt like doing, which made the whole experience feel really relaxed. We explored some great spots I would have never discovered on my own, mixing famous places with more hidden gems. I especially loved the food part. Trying different local dishes while hearing the stories behind them made it even more special. Inés explains things in a very natural and engaging way, so it is just like a great conversation while walking around the city. What stood out the most was how kind and thoughtful she is. She really makes an effort to make you feel comfortable and enjoy the experience at your own pace. By the end, it honestly felt like I had spent the day with a friend rather than on a guided tour. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for something authentic and personal."

    Fijne gezellige gids!

    "Pablo was een fantastische gids voor onze La Boca-tour! Hij is ontzettend vriendelijk, heeft veel humor en maakte de tour daardoor erg gezellig. Hij liet ons alle hoogtepunten van de wijk zien en gaf onderweg veel interessante en nuttige achtergrondinformatie. Dankzij zijn verhalen kwam La Boca echt tot leven. Absoluut een aanrader als je deze bijzondere wijk wilt ontdekken!"

    A wonderful time in Buenos Aires!!

    "We had an wonderful time with Ines! She is very friendly, and we also felt that she is a family member too. She is an expert in Argentina history, she knows a lot of about Buenos Aires too. She told us about the day by day of porteños, and it was amazing. The highlight of our tour, was at Plaza the Mayo. She told us about the mothers of plaza the mayo, and we all felt very emotional at this moment. We highly recommend!!! Tivemos uma manhã maravilhosa com a Ines. Ela é muito querida e muito amigável, nós sentimos como se ela fosse da nossa família! Ela é especialista em história da Argentina e também na história de Buenos Aires. E ela nos contou sobre o dia a dia dos portenhos. O ponto alto do nosso tour foi qundo estavamos sentados na Praça de Maio, e ela nos falou sobre as mães da Praça de Maio, todos nós ficamos realmente emocionados com seu relato. Suuuper recomendamos o tour com a Ines!!!"

Vibrant La Boca: Your Private Tour in Buenos Aires

Step into a world of color and passion in La Boca, Buenos Aires! This iconic neighborhood is an explosion of art, tango, and football culture. Discover the real La Boca with a local guide on a private tour.

  • The Colorful History of La Boca

    La Boca's story begins with Italian immigrants from Genoa in the 19th century. They built homes, known as 'conventillos', with scrap metal from the shipyards and painted them with leftover marine paint, creating the vibrant mosaic you see today.

  • Caminito: La Boca's Famous Street Museum

    Caminito, or 'little walkway', is the heart of La Boca. It's an open-air museum where tango dancers perform on the cobblestones, and local artists display their colorful paintings. It's a feast for the senses you have to experience.

  • Feel the Passion of Tango in La Boca

    Tango is the soul of Buenos Aires, and its roots run deep in La Boca. The music spills out from cafes and street corners. Feel the rhythm and passion of this iconic dance in its very birthplace with a local by your side.

  • La Boca's Football Fever: Boca Juniors

    La Boca is home to the legendary Boca Juniors football team and their stadium, La Bombonera. The neighborhood lives and breathes football, with the blue and yellow colors of the team painted everywhere. Feel the local pride!

  • Quinquela Martín: The Artist of La Boca

    Local artist Benito Quinquela Martín is the visionary behind Caminito's revival. He dedicated his life to capturing the spirit and color of the port neighborhood, and his work turned La Boca into the artistic hub it is today.

  • Taste the Local Flavors of La Boca

    No visit to La Boca is complete without tasting authentic Argentine flavors. Grab a delicious choripán (chorizo sandwich) from a street vendor or sit down at a traditional 'parrilla' for a mouth-watering steak.
