“This tour was a highlight of my trip! So much amazing information from an incredible tour guide named Juan. The english group on this tour was rather large but the guide did a great job at keeping us all together, projecting his voice, and answering any questions. I attended this tour alone and it was a great experience highly recommended and well worth the price!”
Buenos Aires shopping tour review covering leather outlets, brand stores, pickup, pricing, guides, timing, and who should book.
“So very many NON-MEMORABLE occurrences Driver did not pick up at Gate 12 as your e-mail designated. But rather stood a block away holding a sign.

Cook Argentine classics with Gabriela in San Telmo, shop the market, share wine, and enjoy a warm private meal in Buenos Aires.
“This felt like less of a class, and more like a visit with a long-time friend. Gabriela's charm, warmth and enthusiasm immediately won us over. We skipped the market tour, and met her at her home, which she remodeled to her exact needs. The kitchen is large, and perfect for sitting, talking and working together. Each dish was fun to help make, and tasted wonderful. The wine flowed freely and paired perfectly. What a wonderful evening. Highly recommended for your next visit to Buenos Aires!”
