About this activity

Explore Buenos Aires' most iconic neighbourhoods in four hours, from grand European-influenced architecture in the north to the colourful streets of La Boca and the contemporary dining scene of Puerto Madero. This small-group tour connects the city's layered history—colonial foundations, tango heritage, and modern waterfront revival—in a comprehensive half-day experience.

Discover the best of Buenos Aires, enjoying the past and the present of the city. Starting on the north where we will find wide green spaces and French style mansions. In the center of the city we will pass through the emblematic 9 de Julio Avenue, we will observe some of the most important points of interest such as the Colon Theater and the Obelisk. Upon reaching Plaza de Mayo, where the foundation of the city took in 1580, we will find the Casa Rosada, the Cabildo and the Metropolitan Cathedral. The tour continues visiting San Telmo, the native neighborhood of tango, and La Boca, where you can feel the pas- sion for football in the famous Bombonera. We will observe the colorful tenements, home to the Italian immigrants of the late 19th. century and the picturesque Caminito street that gives name to Carlos Gardel’s famous tango. The tour ends in the modern Puerto Madero, converted into the widest and most varied gastronomic area. You can aquire OPTION WITH LUNCH AT Cucina D’Onore
