10 Food Tours in Buenos Aires That You Shouldn't Miss
The birthplace of the tango is, like the dance itself, captivating, seductive and bustling with excited energy. Atmospheric old neighborhoods are rife with romantic restaurants and thumping nightlife, and Buenos Aires' European heritage is evident in its architecture, boulevards and parks. Cafe Tortoni, the city's oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colon impresses just as it did in 1908. Latin America's shopping capital offers the promise of premium retail therapy along its grand, wide boulevards.

The BA Craft Beer Walk was absolutely awesome. We weren't sure what to expect but it was a really awesome experience. Our guide was super knowledgable, friendly, helpful, and fun. He really catered the tour to the group to make sure everyone was happy. I'm SO glad we did this and we ended up going back to a few of the breweries later in the trip that we visited on the tour. Great experience!

Amazing class, we had the chance not only to learn how to prepare our first Salmon & dill ravioli, but we did so in a fantastic way with Saul’s guidance. I love non conventional birthdays presents, and this time even the present wasn’t for me I enjoyed it with Gabriel as much as he did. Strongly recommended and hope we can return soon!!!

Probably the highlight of my trip to South America. Matias was very passionate about football and knew all the answers to all the questions I had. He was an excellent guide and made it very enjoyable. Both River and Boca are must see places and this is the perfect way to see both of them, right after each other. Could not recommend Matias and this tour enough. Very good !

We begin this walking tour of 3 exclusive stops, where of course we will start the Private Tastings. We start with only boutique wines, from small vineyards but of excellent quality, the perfect pairing is achieved with replica cheeses of the world, made with Argentine milk. We continue the tour, while the guide tells you about the neighborhood, passing Palermo Hollywood and Soho. We arrived at the second tasting, in a recycled Palermitan house, known as "chorizo houses" typical of the neighborhood. You will try Premium labels, from different regions of the country, Mendoza, Patagonia, etc. Are you red, white or rosé wine? Here you can choose to your liking! Traditional pairing like empanadas so that you continue to know the local gastronomy. The neighborhood begins to light up, we follow the route to the last stop, where the view from the terrace is perfect, the breeze, the last toast with sparkling wine and a dessert made in a clay oven to finish our tour.

7. Customizable Food Tour of Palermo Viejo
Overall Ratings
4.9 based on 37 reviews
On this 5 to 6-hour customizable exploration, you will discover Palermo Viejo’s culinary secrets while enjoying its food, history, and vibrant art. We start with what used to be the doorway to Buenos Aires, after a short typical Porteño breakfast. The city’s parks and tree-lined boulevards were first inspired and planned from this area, and that curiously enough is home to one of the continent’s oldest monuments. You will sample Argentina’s famous steak in a non-touristy location, as well as relish the emblematic Argentine sandwich along with a variety of local favorite appetizers and snacks. One of our food stops has a craft beer option, and we can also add a wine tasting, if you like, in the middle of all of that food. While walking from one place to the next we will have some time to admire local street art. This is a tour that you experience with all of your senses and you will enjoy plenty of picture taking opportunities.
Inclusions: All of the food and drink consumed during the tour are included, Snacks, Breakfast, Alcoholic Beverages, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea

Like everyone else who can't wait to get back to real travel, we've all looked into "virtual tours? i don't know....online cooking.....maybe it could work, i don't know" Well this is the perfect introduction into that world, and there is no better person to enter that world than with Frank. Of all our travels, Frank has been by far my wife's favorite tour guide - as he's not just a guide or in this case instructor, but a friend you a haven't seen in years. The class is over before you know it because the whole time you're just chatting with him. Now the class itself - 1. Super simple to make. Super Quick to make. You don't have to set aside tons of time to prep before or cook after. 2. Frank's set up is amazing. He is like a little cooking show with two cameras, one on him, one on the counter so you can always follow along. So there is no awkward "hang on, let me adjust my camera to show you..." and during the class checking up on how ours should be looking. Plus...it's actually a good recipe. As we've learned from Frank's asado tour and Craft Beer tour, we expect nothing but excellence from him. 3.This is the part that gets overlooked, but you have to know he has gallon jugs of this stuff all over his house, but at no point did he have that 'here we go again, making the same thing over and over' There was no cutting corners or sloppiness or blah anywhere. So with all of this said, if you're looking to enter the world of virtual cooking classes, this is *the* tour to start with. and i know if frank had a monthly cooking class get together, i know my wife would be the first one to sign up.

I Do not recommend this company I did a pre-planned day trip of Argentina. It was arranged they pick me up from nearby hotel. I msg to confirm and they changed the plans and I had to meet there which wasn’t Easy to find. I attempted many times to contact them via the phone numbers they provided and concierge also attempted, but they never responded. Then I only got half the tour. Try other more reliable and reputable companies.

Not worth it, I'm afraid. Too expensive to get to see just one of the glaciers, the Spegazzini one. (The Upsala glacier can only be seen from afar, as it's deemed too risky to approach). The journey was too long and quite uncomfortable (the ferry I took was the Quo Vadis). Too many people travelling. The ferry was 80% full in Covid times, which I found unsensible and irresponsible. We could not choose where to sit or change seats afterwards. The Spegazzini refuge is partly open. You can take a (rather short) walk in the woods, but the café/restaurant/toilet area is (still) closed and looks quite derelict. I've taken other tours in the area (Perito Moreno Glacier/ Canal Beagle/Full day at Chalten) and they were less expensive, better organised and far more enjoyable than this one.
