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!

Happy D.
Hi! My name is Happy (for real!). I'm a native EFL speaker, interpreter & teacher and currently working towards my degree: “Official Tour Guide for the City of Buenos Aires” sponsored by the Government of Buenos Aires. I decided to become a Tour Guide 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! 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 also a coffee connoisseur, a published author and someone who just wants you to experience Buenos Aires through my eyes. We'll have fun!

Adriana K.
Hello and welcome! We are Adriana, Ana and Vilma. We have been tour guides for 27 years and we like to show the soul of the places we guide. The identity of the city is created by those who inhabit it, their customs, their idiosyncrasies, their art, their history and their present. We are interested in creating a true cultural exchange, making known the different realities of the inhabitants of Argentina. Through the highlights of the city we will take you to know the history of the Queen of the De La Plata River, and we will also make you discover those other places hidden from the tourist's eye to delve into the identity of Buenos Aires.

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.

Buenos Aires Tour Reviews
Sumit B.
“Paola is a great tour guide!”
My wife and I traveled to Buenos Aires with our seven year old daughter in Nov 2025, and Paola was our tour guide for 3 days in the city (daily half-day tours, including Tigre delta). She’s professional, well informed, courteous, generous, flexible with the itinerary, and a great ambassador of her city! From the time we booked the tours, and even after we had left Buenos Aires, her communication was prompt and helpful. We really enjoyed our time in Buenos Aires with Paola!
