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!

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.
