My girlfriend and I did the Best of Buenos Aires + Recoleta tour. We ended up being the only two people on the tour. Carlos was our guide, and it became quite apparent quickly that he has a great mind for putting pieces of a puzzle together regarding history, politics, architecture and he makes it really really interesting! This isn't a dry presentation but very witty with some great storytelling. We also had lunch together and that was really fun as well! I have learned over time with extensive travels behind me that just seeing a place and taking pictures of it is not enough. It's really important to be connected to a place through someone who is passionate about it, and it's worth every penny that you spend. This process blossoms into appreciation and insight! And probably even a new friend or two! If you agree, then you're going to be very pleased in choosing this tour company! I highly recommend it!

This was one of the highlights of our time in Buenos Aires. We took a full day tour, including a visit to La Boca. Our guide, Rosty, was a font of knowledge and was able to keep us engaged by covering history, sociology, politics and culture over the course of the day. He took note of our particular interests which he then factored into the tour over the course of the day. Highly recommended if you are in the city for only a few days and want to get a real sense of the city’s heritage and highlights.

What a fabulous tour! Our friends told us about the tour and we started off despite it looking like rain. The rain held off and Victoria did such a great job. Her knowledge was extraordinary, her presentation terrific, and her English was flawless! We couldn't have asked for a better way to get the feel for Buenos Aires.

Excellent private tour of Buenos Aires. Carlos gave a very in-depth tour of the history and culture. I felt like a local for the day. If you prefer a more personalized tour to a large group, this is the tour for you.

As I was travelling to Buenos Aires alone I thought a walking your would be useful to find out more about BUENOS Aires and in-partlicalar the district of San telmo and boca.
The whole experience was amazing and worth the money. My tour guide Oliver picked me up from my hotel he was happy and cheerful and made the tour great. He was very knowledgeable and answered my questions.
The tour ran for the full 3 hours. (Went over by half an hour)
The tour was well planned.
The tour guide was caring and even offered assistence to me after the tour finished.
I would highly recommend them and if you any of the tours ask for the guide OLIVER.

Having been on the (Latin) road 6 months, I got into a habit of arranging walking tours as soon as I arrived in a new city and Buenos Aires was no exception. In fact, given what little I new of the place I wanted to enhance my understanding and knowledge of this wonderful and (to me) mysterious city. Some Google time later, I settled on 'BA walking tours', and i'm so glad I did.
These guys are GOOD! I did the full 7 hour walking tour and didn't even feel tired at the end. Both Carlos and Soledad spoke excellent English (which I need as my espanol is woeful). I spent the morning with Carlos who took me to important landmarks in BA's history and explained how much of the city came to be built through the Argentinian aristocracy, the sufferings of the working class, how the money was made, and the power struggle between two very powerful and competing...women (showing BA was ahead of its time in terms of the role and influence of women in that day). In addition to more knowledge and information than I could process, Carlos has a very dry sense of humour which, being from the UK, I appreciated. My questions were also answered.
After lunch, I was 'handed over' to Soledad. Soledad, like Carlos, knew her stuff! She also had an excellent sense of humour but this did not compromise her wealth of information she was keen to impart and put in the context of BA's rich and complex history. We also went at a pace I was comfortable with and she often checked out if there was anything in particular I wanted to do / see. I say this because while there is a 'route' for the tour, there was also some flexibility, which I really valued (i've been on some tours that are like a military operation: 5 mins 34 secs here: 2 mins 25 secs there; ok, not literally like that but you get the picture). BA walking tours was not like this at all and Carlos and Soledad clearly have a passion for their subjects, a love for their city and an enthusiasm to share this with the knowledge-hungry tourist. A big – and unexpected – highlight of the afternoon was standing next to the crypt of Eva Peron in Recolette Cemetary. Truly moving.
So, ladies and gentlemen of the TripAdvisor world, if you want a tour of culture and history, with a healthy sprinkling of humour, BA walking tours is the one for you. I would do this tour again without hesitation and can't recommend it strongly enough.

We took 2 tours with Tangol, which I can highly recommend. Our 6 hour walking tour was given by Sabrina, who was an incredible source of historical and cultural information! Her English was great and she was gracious as she escorted us through the many areas of Buenos Aires by foot, bus and underground. We got such a well-rounded overview of the city, we would not have been able to accomplish so much in 1 day if it wasn't for her direction. Our next tour was to Tigre, an area an hour's drive away, where homes (lavish and poor) are on the deltas of the main river…interesting boat ride to see a different part of this area.
I would like to point out that this company was recommended by a travel agent that I contacted, Sandra Gutrejde. She was so very helpful and it was a pleasure to correspond with her - timely email responses, fantastic English, and when there was a little "hiccup" when we arrived, she was able to solve it immediately so Plan B was easily instituted. Her email: http://www.batravelguide.com
Thank you for a great time in BA!

Carlos and Solodade gave me two excellent tours , Argentina and the city came to life when they spoke about the history ,families , politics , and architecture it brings to life the culture and identity of the Country .Both guilds spoke excellent English were amusing and it's an easy walk and that gives you time to do photos and ask questions that you can not do from a bus , a must do for this Great City !
I love most dance , and wished to see Tango , oh my god , Solodade did me a private tour which is normally a group twice a week , this city is the Beating Heart of Tango , did a beginners class , was escorted round venues showing very different styles , which was explained thoroughly . This is a beautiful dance with its own unique music , I came to Argentina to shoot Doves in Cordoba I left with a fantastic experience of Tango which my guild gave to me . Wow wow wow !

Carlos, the porteno leading the walk, tries too hard.
First of all, his pace is ridiculous. It is one thing to infirm the tour members and maintain a brisk pace. It is quite another to just start walking off in the middle of a tour because the tour members are being 'too slow'. Slow the tour down a bit - all of us will enjoy it more.
Secondly, stop the hard sell. We will buy you a coffee without you pushing the really hard sell. No need to take us to a cafe and tell us that you will show us the pictures even if we don't buy you a coffee. We will buy you a coffee nonetheless - don't behave like you have never had a coffee before.
And don't sell us stuff we don't want with language you have memorized for a long time. Tango for tourists that is mild not wild.... Please, some of us actually want to see non-touristy stuff. And don't sit us down for a coffee that we don't really want and try to sell us a book we don't want to buy.
On the whole, a somewhat decent tour but quit the hard sell and don't make us feel like we have to buy something we do t want to.

This is my first time in Argentina and I am only passing through. I flew in this morning and at 1300 I met Soledad outside the café as stated on the web-site. In two hours I had a fabulous tour of the cemetery with many interesting insights into the various tombs. But far more than that, Soledad put everything into a Argentinian/Buenos Aires context. The best pocket history guide to a country you can have. A great two hour lesson. Soledad has good balanced approach and is comfortable to be with. Recommended.

I am travelling solo and I am interested in having a walking tour on the 5th of August with the essential targets including La Boca (Recoleta cemetery I can do by myself). How much would the cost be? Or can I join a group?
Written June 20, 2017
You can do it yourself with this tour company, but they may have others in the group. I suspect they prefer 2 or more people. Very informative guide. Check their website.
