About Tour Guide 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.

“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.

“"An Enriching and Memorable Tour of Buenos Aires with Paola"”
We had an absolutely fantastic time with Paola and her vibrant city tour of Buenos Aires! She arrived promptly at our Airbnb, ready to whisk us away on an adventure through the city's most captivating spots. Her deep historical knowledge and fascinating local insights truly brought the city to life for us. After exploring several landmarks, we enjoyed lunch at a restaurant in the colorful, bustling Boca area. While a less touristy spot might have been fun, the food was undeniably delicious. From there, Paola guided us through the harbor area, then on to the lively neighborhood of Palermo, before ending the tour with a memorable visit to the iconic Recoleta Cemetery. It was an incredible day filled with discovery and lasting impressions!

THANK YOU BJORN!! big hug for both
