About Tour Guide Nataliya B.
Welcome to my Argentina, dear friends!
I have lived here for over 25 years, and I know this country not from guidebooks, but from thousands of miles traveled on the road — from the icy breath of Patagonia to the eternal roar of the Iguazu Falls. Over these years, Argentina has become my second skin, and I would be delighted to help you truly feel its heartbeat.
My mission as your guide and companion is to dissolve the boundaries between you and this incredible culture. I will introduce you to the authentic lives of the locals, share those nuances of the Argentine mindset that you won't find on the internet, and show you the Argentina that is impossible not to fall in love with.
But above all, it's about the atmosphere. I believe that people meet for a reason. After every tour, my guests become my friends, and that is the most rewarding part of what I do. We will spend our time together so that Argentina remains in your heart forever — as a vibrant, living, and truly warm memory.
I look forward to meeting you!
$850/ per group
