The Argentine ‘asado’ (barbecue) is a longstanding local tradition and this tour lets you experience it just like a local. Explore the lively Palermo Viejo neighbourhood and purchase ingredients from the local butchers, bakeries, and wine shops; get hands-on preparing the parrilla, making chimichurri sauce, and barbecuing the perfect steak; then sit down for an asado feast, including wine, dessert, and traditional mate.

“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.
