What to do and see in Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours
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.

I contacted Leo for a full-day private tour of Buenos Aires. Firstly his response time was excellent and he quickly confirmed his availability for me. I was in Argentina for only a few days and wanted to see as much as I could and learn as much as I could. Leo exceeded every expectation I had. His tour was EXCELLENT. His knowledge of his city, not just the main tourist spots but all the small details were astounding. As a history and art lover myself, I could not have hoped for a better day. I learnt so much and felt I truly got a real feeling of the city and its inhabitants. Not only is Leo and excellent guide (who I will rebook when I'm back, no doubt). He is a lovely person. It was very easy to feel comfortable with him and I wish him so much success because truly, you get 110% when you book a tour with Leo. Thank you!!

Howard waited patiently for my wife and me at the airport even though there was a very long delay in passport control. He gave us an insider's perspective of the BA history, culture, and cuisine. In addition to all the must-see highlights (walking tours of Recoleta Cemetary and la Boca, monuments/statues), he showed us the memorial park dedicated to Argentina's "The Disappeared", a very moving experience. When I told Howard I collected Hard Rock T-shirts, he drove us to the store, helped me buy the right shirt, and even took photos of me in front of the store! My wife and I loved walking along la Boca, where Howard seemed to know many of the vendors, as he introduced us to them. Howard showed us a nearby place for lunch, where we had parilladas, an awesome BBQ meat-lovers meal. Howard toured with us the the entire day, dropping us off at our hotel. Thank you for a wonderful day in BA!

It was a great way to visit an amazingly rich and intense city such as Buenos Aires in those special Covid-19 times. Our tour guide, Nicolas, was nothing short of incredible. He was a fountain of information, he kept things interesting, and he was an absolute joy to be around the city after more than 30 years. Thank you very much. Dina and Daniel

Bored of traditional tours that only repeat what appears on Wikipedia? We too. We invite you to know the most famous quarter in the city through a b-side tour focused on its social history. We start in Caminito and then walk through the non-tourist streets of the neighborhood. We are going to talk about the immigrant origins of La Boca, the peculiarities of the neighborhood artistic style, the importance of football and the problems of the past and the present. We will also visit one of its famous bakeries (where you can try some local pastries) and we will finish the tour next to the Bombonera (one of the most famous stadiums in the world!)

I went to the recoleta tour with Nicolas and it was the HOTTEST and most humid day, yet he was very informative, friendly, and positive despite the heat. We all went for beers after. The only thing I would’ve liked is more of a cemetery tour with more stories if possible. Great tour company!

We really enjoyed this virtual live experience all together. And even-though we decided to "only" watch, due to the time difference (after dinner for us), we had a great time learning more about how to properly cook Empanadas. Thanks again to Camila for making it very interesting, "tasteful"and fun and giving us the chance to discover the world of Empanadas and also sharing insights about Argentina with us.

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 !
