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.

“"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
“A tour guide extraordinaire ”
Paola is easy-going, approachable and so knowledgeable. The best part about our experience was that her pace and delivery worked magic to keep our girls, 10 and 12 years old, engaged and curious to learn more. Paola weaved in some cultural experiences and made reservations for us to enjoy mate, empanadas and alfajores. We also had most insightful conversations about the current state of the country. And one more important thing to note, Paola’s driving skills are impressive. She kept the stories flowing while maneuvering through traffic. With her help we’ve fallen in love with the people of Buenos Aires, the city’s history and culture.
