Private Tours of Buenos Aires   ("Quintessential BA" - In just 3 hrs, experience all you shouldn't miss here)

Our guides are either locals, born in English speaking families or expats living long term in Buenos Aires

A well balanced combo of our city's most distinctive features and landmarks.

This is by far the best way to experience Buenos Aires. You will have the undivided attention of our best bilingual guides: They know the city in-and-out with its stories, history, legends, habits, quirks, curiosities, its neighbourhoods, its people, restaurants, circuits... the whole nine yards!

Private walks are usually best for small parties, but we can also handle Private City Walks for very large groups (forming small groups, each with a guide).

The cost for a Private Walk with one of our top guides (government licensed, fully bilingual, with outstandingly good English, fun, engaging and extremely knowledgeable) starts at US$150 (3 hr walk, 1-3 people) plus US$50 for each additional person (4 people $200, 5 people $250--but each 6th person is free of charge: an 18% discount). If you are travelling on a budget, we can supply you with other (more junior, but still excellent) guides whose rates are lower (contact us). We'll stop for coffee, snacks or refreshments along the walk, at emblematic cafes of cultural or historical value. Snacks, drinks, hotel pickup, transportation, foot massage, mid-life-counseling, good sense of humour and gratuities are not included (actually massage, counseling and good sense of humour are not even available!).


Thus, if you enjoy:

Having a dedicated, exclusive guide
Walking at your own pace
Longer, more detailed walks
More time and freedom to ask (and have all your questions answered)

...then this option is for you: the savvy traveller who wants stronger, close-up, deeper travel experiences.
