Activity itinerary

San Telmo
  • 1h
Back in the day, San Telmo was home to the city’s richest and most important families. But yellow fever epidemics forced them to move north/west to the then outskirts of the city (now Recoleta & Retiro) and San Telmo began to fall from grace. Artists & the working class soon moved into the vacated properties, converting the barrio into what it is now known for: a bohemian hive for antiques, tango, cafes, bars, & restaurants, as well as the must-visit San Telmo Street Market every Sunday.
Plaza de Mayo
  • 1h 30m
The historical, political, cultural, religious and economic hub of Argentina. Military coups, massive protests, financial crises, independence heroes, Peron, Evita, Maradona, the Pope and more... Plaza de Mayo hides story after story and cannot be fully appreciated without a knowledgeable guide. Near here we will have a relaxed break at a cafe of historical and/or cultural value, a great place to take stock and ask your guide all of your burning questions about BA!
Plaza General San Martin
  • 1h
Our favorite park-plaza in Buenos Aires, surrounded by ornate former family mansion-homes, stunning architecture, historical monuments, and beautiful trees. Home to the monument to independence hero General San Martin, South America's first skyscraper, the "British Tower" and British-built Retiro train station, the Malvinas/Falklands memorial, and more!
Avenida 9 De Julio
  • 30m
The "widest avenue in the world", Avenida 9 de Julio, home to the famous Buenos Aires Obelisk.
Recoleta
  • 1h 30m
Recoleta, the most prestigious traditional neighborhood, full of grand old mansions and high class establishments, where we’ll stroll along the elegant and upscale Avenida Alvear and into Plaza Francia, the heart of Recoleta. Here you will have lunch at a traditional Argentine restaurant with your guide – a place where locals eat, with a choice of dishes to cover all tastes (your food/drink at your additional cost on the day).
Cementerio de la Recoleta
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The highlight of our tours for many: Recoleta Cemetery, the last resting place of Eva Peron and many other rich & famous Argentines, plus the highest concentration of stunning architecture in the whole city. A veritable city of the dead, full of fascinating stories and macabre views, there really is nowhere else on the planet quite like it. Admission costs approx. US$15 per person.
