A friend suggested that I walking tour of BA with BA-Walking-Tours. I liked my first tour so much, that I decided to do a second tour. I also felt that the company was so professional that I used them to book a tango night. The first tour was the Recoleta afternoon tour (which focuses on the cemetry). It was really... More

If you are young and fit you will enjoy the personalised insight that these enthusiastic guides give you. I went on both - don't wear flip flops - I ended up with blisters as you cover some ground in 2.5 hours. As an introduction to the city it beats sitting on a tour bus looking at buildings but you have... More

My husband & I took a morning walking tour with Charlie. Only one other couple came along. So nice to have such a small group. Charlie was very knowledgeable about all we saw, giving us stories of the city, not just a list of building names. Our wish had been to learn more about the history of Buenos Aires. It... More

Going solo to Buenos Aires was a challenge for me. I decided to hire a local guide to plan my time and days trying to do as much as I can. I did it!

My husband and I decided that a walking tour would be the best way to take in BA. After a short and prompt email exchange (the day before) and payment by paypal we met Martin at 10am for the Florida to Recoleta tour. We were the only ones on the tour and it was like walking around the city with... More

We stayed in Buenos Aries for 5 days and it was amazing! We pre-paid for our walking tour and we did the 6hr Ba-in-a-Day tour. Martin and his father run the company and we met with Martin at the corner of Florida & Paraguay at 10am for our tour. Martin knew so much about Buenos Aries, there were lots of... More

I showed up at 2pm for the Recoleta tour to discover I was the only person. To my surprise, the guide (William) was happy to do the tour anyway and I had an incredibly enjoyable and interesting 2 1/2 hours walking through Recoleta. William was incredibly knowledgable, obviously interested in his subject and his English was perfect. I would definitely... More
