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.

Happy D.
My love story with Buenos Aires began in 2015, when I visited for the first time. Its ecclectic architectural beauty captured my heart. Then the culture: 189 museums in the city, or Corrientes, a street with more theaters than Broadway! The porteños with their friendliness, their gestures, their wonderful accent. This all made me return time and time again, every single year, until 2021, when my dream of moving here became a reality. I’m currently working towards my degree to become an “Official Tour Guide for the City of Buenos Aires” sponsored by the Government of Buenos Aires. I decided to do this out of my love for the city and my love of showing folks around and discussing Argentinian identity, history, architecture and just fun BA facts and gossip! I’m Chilean (raised in the US) so I speak perfect English and Spanish, I’m an EFL teacher, a published author, a coffee connosieur and I’m also really nice! I hope to show you around!

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.
Mariana R.
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!

“Organised and friendly”
Went to the game as part of a very small group (5 of us in total). Fernando picked us all up and dropped is all back off at our hotel. Perfect English and had great conversations with him and the rest of the group. Was extremely knowledgeable about the city, the area and the stadium. It felt like going to a game with your friend. Would certainly recommend and would have liked to have done other tours with him. Would certainly seek out Fernando if I was in the city again.

“Outstanding Tour with Outstanding Guide”
I did a full day tour of Buenos Aires with Paola and both she and the tour were outstanding. She is personally very charming with a nice sense of humor. Her love for her city is obvious and as we traveled through the city she adroitly incorporated the history of the city and Argentina in what we were seeing and as it relates to the present day. I would highly recommend Paola to anyone seeking a great introduction to this beautiful city.

“Best tour guide in Buenos Aries”
Paola picked us up at our hotel by the airport before our pick-up time and gave is an outstanding tour of her beautiful city. Her historical knowledge was fantastic and she communicated it effectively. We walked the downtown area learning about how the city came to be, visited the BA Metropolitan Cathedral and had coffee and sweets outside by the square. The tour was equal time driving and walking. The Recoleta cemetery was fantastic. We had lunch of empanadas and fried cheese in a typical restaurant in La Boca - Caminito. An absolutely enjoyable experience, Paola will make your day.
