Jonathan combines thorough knowledge of the city, the history of the city, the public transportation in the city and a sense of humor to provide a great tour and overview of Buenos Aires. If you are going to do his tour which I highly recommend, do it on your first day in Buenos Aires. You will then have more an... More

Would suggest this to any first timers in Buenos Aires. Jonathon does a great job of not only showing you the highlights of the city-but also how to get around using public transportation. If you are going to do this-do it early in your trip! He is very knowledgeable and entertaining!

Jonathan was a fantastic guide and manages to combine both a history lesson as well as practicalities for getting around the city. As other reviewers have posted, it's a really good idea to take this tour early in your stay in BA, you'll be grateful for the tips you pick up! The 4 hours absolutely flew by and we visited... More

I was traveling to Buenos Aires and brought my wife along for the trip. We met Jonathan for the Saturday tour and were amazed all the things we learned in saw in such a short amount of time. We enjoyed the tour so much on Saturday with the group that we hired Jonathan for Sunday to show us around Recoleta,... More

On short business trip and local colleague was not able to tour me around because of conflict at weekend. Jonathan was a great fall-back after reading terrible reviews of the classic bus tour(which is pretty good in some cities but apparently not in BA). Agree with nearly all reviewers: Jonathan is excellent ...funny and knowledgeable about the city. He provides... More

I'm not sure if I have much more to add than what has already been said. Coming off of two non stop days of flights and touring we didnt want to stress ourselves out too much in Buenos Aires so there was no tour or itinerary for stay there. A day before the tour I saw it in tripadvisor cities... More

I'll recomend this tour for your first day in Buenos Aires. Jonathan is a very nice and funny guy, so the four hours do not get boring at all. You don't get to see some of the highlights in BsAs, such as a San Telmo and La Boca. But still you get to visit some interesting spots like Gardel's neighbourhood,... More
