Our walking tour combines the charm of exploring the city on foot with the experience of using public transportation (Subte and buses), just like a true porteño. We keep our groups small—no more than 12 people—to offer you a personalized, intimate experience.
You’ll walk through the city’s most iconic neighborhoods: from the historic center and bohemian San Telmo, to the colorful streets of La Boca and elegant Recoleta. The journey ends with a truly unforgettable visit to Palacio Barolo, one of the city's most symbolic buildings.
