About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Curiosity666994748040 contributionsA great tour with an amazing guideOur family of 6 had the most wonderful experience with Pablo. His energy, amazing knowledge and great story telling made our tour of the cemetery most enjoyable. Thank you Pablo- you are one of a kind and we really loved meeting you.Written November 15, 2023
- markbP169HZ0 contributionsSolo Traveler in BSASI had a feeling after reading Pablo's website and reviews that he would be the PERFECT guide for a solo traveler (1st time BSAS). He had everything figured out including alternate options. Most of the time, I did not need to hear the alternates! Pablo has his finger on the pulse of each traveler! We had a great time, at least I did! :) I would highly recommend letting Pablo guide you wherever you want to go! Hope our paths cross again one day Pablo...maybe the iguazu Falls next time?! :) Take care my friend! Hola to Fabie! Mark B. - NC, USAWritten April 16, 2022
- Donald H0 contributionsCustomized Day TripFriendly, knowledgable, access to all the sights, and a great storyteller. What more could you ask for? Thank-you Pablo.Written November 22, 2018
- lynnie860 contributionsPrivate day tour Buenos Aires with PabloThank you Pablo for a great day tailored to our requirements. Pablo is very knowledgeable and passionate about his city. Prior to our tour with Pablo the follow up emails and response times we great. A special thanks to Pablo for his assistance in dealing with the airline on my behalf which had lost my luggage somewhere between Frankfurt and BA. Without his help I doubt I would have ever seen it again as communication was difficult. Thanks again for a great day.Written August 9, 2018
- Ed S0 contributionsPablo is just wonderful!We did a full day tour of the Tigre Delta with Pablo and we recommend him very highly. He made us feel like we were taking a tour with a family member. Very easy going and flexible to our needs. Pablo took all the stress out of the adventure and made us feel like locals. I could not imagine doing this tour with anyone else!Written March 18, 2018
- 591brigitteb0 contributionsBest laugh in Buenos Aires all week!Paolo was our guide to the Los Angelitos tangoshow, but little did we know that the taxi ride with Alejandro turned out to be the best laugh we had during our stay. These wonderful guys could easily fill a night of stand-up comedy given the chance. Paolo is very knowledgeable of the city and provides a lot of tips. If we had stayed longer, we would surely have booked a tour with him, demanding Alejandro to be the driver again ;). The tangoshow is also worth your while, the food was good and service efficient, dancers impressive.Written February 27, 2018
- Flyfisherbill0 contributionsBest guide everPablo Piera is the best guide we’ve ever had in more than 30 years of traveling in Europe, South America and Asia. This was our third tour with him, and it was every bit as excellent as the previous two times. Pablo is professional, very knowledgeable, passionate about his city and well prepared. He is also a really nice guy who listens to you and is capable of making changes mid-tour at your request. My wife, Dottie, and I highly recommend him.Written February 6, 2018
- Sweep123Oxfordshire0 contributionsA day to rememberPablo is an excellent guide. My wife and I had a great day discovering all the sights in Buenos Aires by taxi and train...everything flowed together seamlessly as Pablo knows the city so well and loves to share his knowledge of it.Written February 21, 2017
- janeed95930 contributionsA great day In Buenos AiresPablo is a great guide. Very Knowledgeable of the history and of the city he loves. Very flexible as to what we wanted to see and we left that up to him to combine the scenic beauty and architecture of the City with its history.Great personality, keeps it light and puts all his comments in the proper context. Logistics were handled flawlessly.Written February 12, 2017
- 42OnTheRoadAgain0 contributionsDiscovering Buenos Aires with PabloA magical combo of punctuality, professionalism, and humor greeted us in Buenos Aires. Pablo Piera met our group of 8 at the airport on time with a driver and vehicle large enough to transport us in comfort for a day of exploration. Pablo's dialogue was not just informative but entertaining as well. When visiting Buenos Aires, this is the gentleman you should hire! He realized he had visitors interested in all aspects of his culture and so we were treated to a day of historic buildings/parks, markets, largest bookstore, authentic lunch, and vistas we never would have found on our own!Written February 9, 2017
- Geoff L0 contributionsA different tour of Buenos AiresI have been to BA before and wanted something different.Pablo didnt disappoint.We caught trains and taxis all over the place to see suburbs,parks ,amazing buildings,and basically the locals at work and play.I felt like a local and Pablo made the experience exciting and fun as well as educational.He is obviously proud of his city and seemed to be just as excited as me about everything we saw. Walked a lot down beautiful avenues,went to nice restaurants,saw an amazing Burger King restaurant(yeah thats right) and an amazing book shop(yeah thats right too). I recommend Pablo to anyone wanting a fun exciting day or days.If you want to see the REAL life of the city and places where noone else probably would take you then Pablo is your guy. So pleased I met him. Had a great time.Written November 3, 2016
- Rob1eddy0 contributionsHalf day BA followed by full day El TigreUnfortunately, we arrived while President Obama was in town. Traffic to our hotel was terrible! Also, there were demonstrations in BA to celebrate the beginning or end of one of their dictatorships. Since we were late and there were major traffic concerns, Pablo had to reconfigure our tour. I think he did the best he could. I'd like to do it again under better circumstances. The tour the following day to El Tigre was perfect. Pablo's plan and execution were perfect. We did ride the train to and from El Tigre. The train ride was a very good experience. Tigre was flooding during our time there but that just made the trip more memorable. We took a hike through a neighborhood to find a good authentic restaurant. Everybody enjoyed lunch. Pablo gave us the kind of attention that is really appreciated. That night we attended a Tango/dinner show. Pablo had made the arrangements and everything went smoothly and was good fun. I absolutely give Pablo high ratings.Written May 7, 2016
- Emmy M0 contributionsWonderful TripWe had a great time with Pablo in Argentina. He was was very accomodating and knowledgeable and made our trip very memorable. Thank you so much for a wonderful day.Written February 13, 2016
- DoctorMel0 contributionsThe BestWe (2 couples) spent a day with Pablo in December, 2015. We couldn't have asked for a better guide in Buenos Aires. Pablo was very amiable, helpful and knowledgeable, catering to our needs and wishes. We were able to get a very good perspective on life in Buenos Aires, at many levels.Written January 20, 2016
- Boris G0 contributionsVery good and affordablePablo provided for us an excellent service. Very informative and diverse 2 day tour around Buenos Aries. We would definetily recommend him to anyone who want to have a good use of time during trip to Buenos Aries.Written November 28, 2015

We are two couples from Ontario, Canada who hired Pablo to give us a city tour of Buenos Aires on February 4th and to arrange a dinner and tango the evening of February 3rd. In addition to being well organized and very knowledgeable, Pablo has a great sense of humour that makes learning and experiencing Buenos Aires a joy. His quaint stories about historical sites were memorable and super fun. His caring nature in responding to emails, whatsapp messages about non-tour related issues, acting as our translator more often than not before and after our arranged tour (missing luggage at airport, shopping for replacement clothes for an extra tall hubby, taxi issues to name a few), and ensuring we were safe, has endeared him to us forever. Because of him, we have only fond memories of his beautiful city and its people. What a great ambassador he is for Buenos Aires!

Pablo was fantastic. A friend of mine tipped me off that there happened to be a grill festival going on the day that I was touring (feria de perrillas), and Pablo arranged our itinerary to include a trip out to make it happen. He's experienced enough that he made sure we got there early before the crowds got too crazy (the value of having a native Porteño), and indeed it was already getting pretty packed by the time we left.
The rest of the itinerary was a balance of touristic attractions and food stops as I wanted to eat as much of BA as I could.
To get around in the first part of the day (the festival was ~10 miles out from the center of the city), Pablo arranged a driver for transport... the driver (Fabian) turned out to sort of act as a second tour guide as we visited the Central Market.
Afterwards, Fabian dropped us off back in town where we continued hitting some of the more standard tourist sites (at my request, figuring I should at least see these during my short trip). We saw the Recoleta Cemetery (Pablo could have filled hours with history and stories), stopped at a cafe for some mate, made another stop for empanadas/fugazetta/fainá, and another cafe stop from some coffee and alfajores. We walked by other sites, and finally made our way back to my hotel pretty much exactly on time.

We enjoyed a full day tour with Pablo. He customized the agenda to show us not only the most significant parts of the city but also some special places which revealed the true character of Buenos Aires. Pablo was able to combine history, culture, and art into a wonderful story of the city’s origins and development into what we saw. Together with his driving partner, Pablo made the most of our time, managing challenges posted by the weather, traffic, and road closures. We enjoyed a typical working Argentine lunch and local drink together before getting some great recommendations for dinner and entertainment. This was a perfect way to get our introduction to the city and the country.

My wife and I just came back from a week long vacation in Buenos Aires and spent 5 days with Pablo and his trusted driver, Fabian. Without question, this was one of the best trips we’ve ever been on! Pablo created an itinerary that was captivating and showed us the true beauty, culture and elegance of Argentina. Pablo was not only extremely kind, sincere and thoughtful, he demonstrated a deep knowledge of architecture, history, arts and culture. He was also very fun to be with! We always felt a sense of security with Pablo and enjoyed the private transportation - it made going around very easy and flexible, especially when we would shop and just leave our bags in the spacious vehicle.
We had such a fantastic time with Pablo, that we intend on being with him again when we go to Argentina with family and friends!

We booked a day-tour with Pablo a few weeks prior to our trip to Buenos Aires. The day-tour was wonderful and we had a lot of fun. Although our stay in Buenos Aires was limited to a few days, Pablo provided us a great variety of impressions and experiences in the city. It was not only about seeing the major sights. rather, Pablo offered a mix of classic sights and authentic places away from the guidebooks. The tour was very much customized to our interests. Pablo is very nice, well-informed and has a good sense of humor. He also provided us a lot of helpful information beyond the tour regarding restaurants, nightlife etc. Pablo also organized an exceptionally friendly driver so we were always mobile and could enjoy our activities in BA in a very comfortable manner. Overall, we can strongly recommend Pablo for a private tour in BA.

Dear travelers, if you approach Pablo on your trip in Buenos Aires, he will immediately become your guide, advisor and friend, ensuring the best transfers at all times. He will take responsibility for you and offer you the best options that can be implemented at the given time. He is polite and at the same time experienced, he will wait for you and above all he has no problem implementing your requests. We were 9 travelers and we saw the whole city, he chose the most beautiful places, excellent restaurants and we felt really safe with him. I highly recommend Pablo.

We had a really great tour with Pablo! He has the knack of combining a city tour, taking in the most interesting bits, with real in depth knowledge of the local history, politics and local quirks and customs which take it way above a normal tour. I had read on one if his reviews that it was like travelling with an old uni friend and that us so true. We could all happily have spent the rest of the day just chatting to him. Great personal service too. Go with Pablo 😀👍

Just back home from a memorable trip to BA ++.
Luckily we found Pablo on the web some time before we started travelling. You can ask him any question on any topic for your stay/visit in the BA-area. He can arrange anything you want and is an excellent knowledgeable guy with great humor. If you book a full day tour with him, and then also he may bring his good friend/driver Fabien as a pilot, and then you are all set. Touring BA or out to the Delta and Tigre will be a success. Great Tango show he also set up for us. Many thanks Pablo, will definitely recommend you to anyone.

Hi there, I have less than one day to explore BA on Saturday, 2 February 2019. I’d like to understand what might be a tour itinerary before I decide to book. Love exploring markets, local foods, and for BA, ideally see a (milonga) tango performance. What’s possible on that day before my hotel transfer to the airport at 16:00?
Written January 14, 2019
We (2 of us) are disembarking from ship on January 21, 2019 (assume any time). Our flight leaves at 8:50 PM. Can we tour Buenos Aires and have drop off at airport by about 6PM with this tour?
