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!

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.

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!

Siempre que hay mate, hay charlas, algo para comer y disfrutar, relajarse y bajarse del ritmo productivo. La mejor excusa para desconectar de las redes sociales y el trabajo.

“A wonderful day.”

Mariana made our day in Buenos Aires a memorable and exceedingly pleasant one. Her meet and greet was prompt and professional. She achieved a good balance between historical detail and broader perspectives; her interpretation of what we were seeing was lucid, her English flawless. My having been in international tourism since the 1960's I would award Mariana 10/10. The driver Mariana recruited, Hernan de Arcos, was very supportive and also a good Ambassador.

“Incredible day tour”

We spent a lovely 7 hours with Paola after disembarking from a cruise since we had such a late flight. She took us all over the city so we could make the most of our time in Buenos Aires. She was so incredibly knowledgable and had lots to share for all of our curious questions. Pointed out things along the way that were of specific interest to us (e.g., my husband is a librarian so she made sure we saw the national library!), as well as things off the beaten path. What a joy to get to see Buenos Aires through the eyes of someone who is a lifelong resident and loves the city so much. Thank you, Paola, for this gift you gave us!

“Private Van + Guide for Family of Five”

We had 8 hours in B.A. after arriving on our flight from the US and before our evening Bus departure. Aires Transfer organized a very nice private van + driver and Guide in Nathalie. Both our driver and Nathalie were fantastic! They customized our tour to our interests and what worked for our timing. They kept our luggage safe and secure during the day. We had a great amount of walking/touring time + time to see the sights by car and the comfort of the AC. Nathalie was so knowledgeable and accommodating. We were traveling with 3 teenagers and everyone enjoyed themselves. Our drop off at the Bus Terminal was smooth and Nathalie helped orient us and ensure we knew where we were going. Thank you for a great day!!
