Hi All-
We will be visiting BA in November. Can anyone recommend a good city tour or know of a local guide who could provide a tour? Thanks for your help. -T

Take a look at the site of Cicerones de Buenos Aires. It is a nonprofit organization which offers Cicerones to Buenos Aires visitors’ for their walks through the city.
See: http://www.cicerones.org.ar/en/visitantes.htm

No (we made some self guided walks - http://www.bue.gov.ar/home/index.php?lang=en), but did read afterwards a lot of good reviews.

If you want a personal tour I highly recommend Dante. He also is great for picking you up and returning you to the airport (his real job) But he also does personal tours of the city, including tango at the real Milongas. His web site is

I got a private tour with a girl who works with the hostel: safeinlima.com
She spoke perfect English and was great. I highly recommend them.

Hi I have been to BA and have such an amazing time. I stayed at a hostel in San Telmo it was the Garden house art factory a great place where they recommended
me to know the citytour by bike, we did the bike tour of the south and north of BA it was such a great time, because there are parts of Ba so dangerous that on the bike and with other people was a realy good choice!
hope to help you

hi, im nicolas from buenos aires and im 21. i found that you were looking for
some city tours here so i decided to send you my email.
im not offering to buy me a tour, actualy i usualy do this just because i love to, i love meeting people, showing them the city, helpping them to practice spanish and that kind of things... so i may be helpful for you.

PD: i realy recomend you cicerones.org.ar, they are very helpful and the advantage is that as they dont earn money for the tour they will take you to the real Buenoa aires.

PD2: and my email is netarar(at)gmail.com.

anyway, best wishes for you trip.


see you soo,
Nicolas.
