Paola D.
After being a professional as an Accountant for some years, I decided to change my life and follow my passion: Buenos Aires. I've been a tour guide since 2011. I'm passionate about showing every corner of my city and passing on everything I know about it. I was also, for some years, guided touring professor at San Martín National University. I am studying a master's degree in world history, and I have a Diploma in Buenos Aires History and Argentinian Culture. I really love Buenos Aires and I hope you do so…. I love art, history and photos. . . I'd like to share all of this with you. I also have a car (Volkswagen Suran) so If you want we can move around in it. I'm flexible and all my tours can be customized according to your own interest.

I love to share all type of experiences with travelers in my hometown. We can visit the main spots if you are a first time visitor, or we can go off the beaten path whether you have some special interest. During the tour you will be inspired to ask me any type of question about Buenos Aires, and porteños (the way the local people are called), and my challenge will be to answer all of them in detail. You will learn a lot about the local culture, lifestyle, art, music, sports and food. My solid experience of 16 years in the industry, my academic background (degrees in Economics, Business, Tourism and Languages) and multiple travels around 15 countries are my best credentials. I'm also a polo player, coach and horse trainer. You can also book to take a polo lesson or watch a polo match, and experience the Sport of Kings in Buenos Aires, which is considered the polo capital of the world. It is impossible to get bored doing this profession as every day brings a new adventure. This job enabled me to meet people from over 100 countries. I am also a host of a travel show broadcasted on streaming, which helps me to stay updated. Last but not least I love not only horses but also dogs, enjoying very much to help animal shelters. My dog is called Charlotte and she is very cute :) Thank you for reading my bio, if you have any question or comment please contact me!

Johanna D.
I'm a born globetrotter since an early age, and I have combined a natural passion for travel and cultural curiosity with formal travel industry experience. After many years living in Argentina (14 in total this year) I have put together a team of guides that have the same objective: we want our guests to return home with a true understanding of Argentinean culture, so while we will visit the main tourist attractions, we also want to take you to less frequented places to allow you to accurately experience the beauty of the region and its people. That's precisely why we offer a diverse range of tours and activities, each showcasing a unique and captivating aspect of Buenos Aires. Every person in our team holds the firm belief that the essence of a trip is best captured through meaningful encounters.

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, working as a tour guide has allowed me to rediscover this city and my love for it. As an English-Spanish translator and constant language student (fluent in French and doing my best to learn German), I spend a good part of my life building bridges between cultures. And that is the spirit behind my tours, creating bonds between visitors and local life. I appreciate and enjoy sharing the wide range of possibilities this city offers, from the loud crowds in a football stadium or a rock concert to quietly riding a bike or walking along the streets seeing life through a camera lens. Looking forward to sharing Buenos Aires with you!

“"An Enriching and Memorable Tour of Buenos Aires with Paola"”
We had an absolutely fantastic time with Paola and her vibrant city tour of Buenos Aires! She arrived promptly at our Airbnb, ready to whisk us away on an adventure through the city's most captivating spots. Her deep historical knowledge and fascinating local insights truly brought the city to life for us. After exploring several landmarks, we enjoyed lunch at a restaurant in the colorful, bustling Boca area. While a less touristy spot might have been fun, the food was undeniably delicious. From there, Paola guided us through the harbor area, then on to the lively neighborhood of Palermo, before ending the tour with a memorable visit to the iconic Recoleta Cemetery. It was an incredible day filled with discovery and lasting impressions!

THANK YOU BJORN!! big hug for both
“A tour guide extraordinaire ”
Paola is easy-going, approachable and so knowledgeable. The best part about our experience was that her pace and delivery worked magic to keep our girls, 10 and 12 years old, engaged and curious to learn more. Paola weaved in some cultural experiences and made reservations for us to enjoy mate, empanadas and alfajores. We also had most insightful conversations about the current state of the country. And one more important thing to note, Paola’s driving skills are impressive. She kept the stories flowing while maneuvering through traffic. With her help we’ve fallen in love with the people of Buenos Aires, the city’s history and culture.
