"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. "

family tour in La Boca and San Telmo
"Very good tour, with interesting and fun facts.
Also nice for children."
"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. "
"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!"

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 MartÃn: The Artist of La Boca
Local artist Benito Quinquela MartÃn 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.
