Local guides show you the city that never sleeps, with their stories and secrets. They now also offer private tours which is a great way to see the city if you have limited time and are unable to join their regular group. For the free Buenos Aires tours you have to show up at the meeting points: -11 AM PLAZA DEL CONGRESO (Rivadavia Ave and Rodriguez Peña st) -5 PM at PLAZA SAN MARTIN (Santa Fe ave and Maipu st, beside the horse monument) Both tours are different! « less

We had Sol for our first tour on Thursday afternoon. This was our first activity in BA and we were very impressed. The walking is not too much at all. The commentaries by Sol were fantastic and she was so energetic. She was always able to answer questions. On Friday, we did the morning tour with Gaston. Fantastic. He taught... More

We wanted to do the morning tour, Virginia was our guide. For our taste she was a little bit too much, so we left the tour after a quarter of an hour. Maybe the screaming around and showing off works for young americans, for us it was nerve racking after some minutes. On the evening tour our guide was Juan.... More

We did both the 11am tour and the 5pm tour with Gaston and they were both amazing. He is a genuinly entertaining person and the 2 and a half hours or so flew by, even in the humid heat of BA. They were both really interesting and gave a great insight into the history and culture of BA and Argentina.... More

We did both tours and absolutely loved it. The 2 guides both have great knowlegde of the city and we especially appreciated hearing about the people who leave in BA. A very professional tour. If you have the time - go for it. Both tours last about 2.5 hour and the walking distance is easy. Don't forget to tip at... More

The two tours offered are fabulous - they're fun, interesting and you get the low down on what makes Argentinians, especially portenos, who they are. A must do in BA! More

The tour lasted around 2.5 hours and was just about the right length. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great tour of B.A More

I have done both the 11am and the 5pm tour with BA Free Tour, and in fact every time I have visitors come to Buenos Aires I recommend they go on the tour and if I can I will accompany them - just because the tour is THAT FUN! The guides, Sol and Gaston, are knowledgeable, relaxed, fun, never boring... More

We did both the morning and afternoon tour in one day to get an idea of what to do in BA. Gaston & Sol were fantastic, we all learnt so much. We had 2 kids 9 & 12 which were never bored, they always included them. They answered our questions, gave advise and helped guide us so we had a... More

They provide 2 tours (covering different areas) per day, at 11am and 5pm, for approx. 2.5 hours each. We joined both tours on the same day. The day tour was led by Gaston who was friendly and humorous. He speaks pretty loud, so you should be able to hear him very well on the busy streets. Gaston told us interesting... More

We absolutely loved our experience with BA free tours. We had Sol as our guide and she was so entertaining and informative! In the end we walked quite a distance but we didnt even notice! Sol stopped at really interesting sites and we managed to learn so much for her. It is such a perfect way to spend the day... More
