As a English speaker, I was looking for a guide that I can ask follow up questions about historical monuments and venues and Carlos was not only knowledgeable but also eloquent. We visited all the interesting spots including Floralis Generica, the market, & the bookstore & he was happy to take some shots of me. 10/10! If you are in Buenos Aires with just a few days and don't wanna waste time in queues, Carlos…”

Expect Argentine empanadas, milanesa, meat, Buenos Aires-style pizza, wine, coffee, and ice cream. The format often combines a long meal at one restaurant with shorter stops elsewhere.

“Our guide was a lovely young woman who tried to make the experience as good as she could. I think this tour would be better positioned as ‘dine around with a local’ as in fact it was NOT A FOOD TOUR as it only had 3 venues and one of those was unable to accommodate us. It wasn’t clear it was a ‘sit and try’ 4 things in the same restaurant and then have a coffee stop and then an ice cream stop. No drinks were offered, no sodas and no wine. These were listed in the description. We were at the first stop and had to ask for water.…”
