Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"It was a treat having Pablo as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great authentic tour of the non touristy part of Buenos Aires to see the Milongas (local Tango clubs)in action. It was a real treat to see the real Tango, and not just a high end show with a large production. Thankk you Pablo for being a wonderful guide and giving us real value for money on what was an over 3 hour personalised tour. It would have been longer but we had to be somewhere "
"Really enjoyed our tour with Rosana. She was not only knowledgeable about the area, but also gave us a good perspective on the Argentinean culture. She met us where we stayed and customized the tour to meet our needs. On top of that, she was an interesting person to talk to, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a private tour. "
"Jose has been amazing. Full of energy and knowledge. Great attitude. He is a musician. We wanted to join his performance. He is 10 out of 10. Choose him…."
"We had an wonderful time with Ines! She is very friendly, and we also felt that she is a family member too. She is an expert in Argentina history, she knows a lot of about Buenos Aires too. She told us about the day by day of porteños, and it was amazing. The highlight of our tour, was at Plaza the Mayo. She told us about the mothers of plaza the mayo, and we all felt very emotional at this moment. We highly recommend!!! Tivemos uma manhã maravilhosa com a Ines. Ela é muito querida e muito amigável, nós sentimos como se ela fosse da nossa famÃlia! Ela é especialista em história da Argentina e também na história de Buenos Aires. E ela nos contou sobre o dia a dia dos portenhos. O ponto alto do nosso tour foi qundo estavamos sentados na Praça de Maio, e ela nos falou sobre as mães da Praça de Maio, todos nós ficamos realmente emocionados com seu relato. Suuuper recomendamos o tour com a Ines!!!"
"Rosana is an amazing guide. Her English is excellent. We enjoyed her explanations about the history of the area and the culture of Argentina and specifically of Buenos Aires. She was also generous with her ideas of places and restaurants to visit on our own. "
"We had a great time with INES . She is a very charming, smart and knowledgeable person. She took us through the history of Argentina by a good choice of street art. Cannot wait her to take us through a food tour on our next visit….."
"10 star tour. Rosana was fun, knowledgeable and really had a great background of the city and history. We loved everything we did and she gave us lots of tips for our next few days. Can’t recommend her enough. "
"We hebben een zeer leuke en interessante rondleiding van 3u gehad met Flavia. Ze weet waarover ze verteld. Ze is zeer sympathiek en enthousiast. We hebben ervan genoten. Een leuke ontmoeting 💜"
"Tolle und erlebnisreiche Stadtführung mit viel Herz und ganz viel Sympathie ."
"We had the most amazing day with the most amazing tour guide Rosana! She was so knowledgeable and kind. It was like seeing the city with a friend, who took her time to ensure that we had the experience we were looking for. She helped us see all of our requested places. We couldn't be happier with our day! Thank you!!"

Let the rhythm of Buenos Aires move you! Dive into the world of Tango, a dance of passion and history. Explore authentic Tango culture with a local guide who knows every secret step and hidden milonga.
Tango was born in the late 19th century in the working-class port districts of Buenos Aires. It's a powerful blend of European, African, and native rhythms, reflecting the city's vibrant immigrant soul.
A milonga is where the real Tango lives! These traditional dance halls have their own etiquette, from the 'cabeceo' (the nod to invite a dance) to the flow of the dance floor. It's a truly local experience.
Carlos Gardel, the "King of Tango," transformed the dance into a worldwide phenomenon with his charismatic voice. His music is the timeless soundtrack of Buenos Aires and the heart of every Tango performance.
Tango isn't just a dance; it's a lifestyle woven into the city's fabric. Imagine sipping a rich Malbec wine at a historic cafe after an evening milonga. This is the authentic taste of Buenos Aires culture.
