We toured La Boca and San Telmo and gave us great recommendations for the rest of the week. Of course he speaks English perfectly and his Spanish is amazing as well. Every recommendation he has given us has been great for what we wanted to experience. Working with him on our first day has really improved the value of our entire vacation. We highly recommend meeting with him first before going anywhere else within the city.

We learned about the colorful houses "conventillos" a little history of tango the old industrial port and the history of immigration (so interesting) and ended at Boca Jr. stadium. My family is from Argentina (Italy) and for that reason and many others I recommend this walk. I learned a lot of interesting facts. Hicimos el paseo de La Boca. Nuestra guía fue Mariana y ella fue súper amable y conocedora. La caminata duró alrededor de una hora y cuarenta y cinco minutos. En línea dice $10 por persona, pero es una caminata GRATUITA. Depende de usted dar propina y debe dar una buena propina porque, como dije, nuestra guía era conocedora y muy agradable. Aprendimos sobre las casas de colores "conventillos" un poco de historia del tango, el antiguo puerto industrial y la historia de la inmigración (tan interesante) y terminó en el estadio de Boca Jr. Mi familia es de Argentina (Italia) y por eso y muchos otros recomiendo este paseo. Aprendí muchos datos interesantes.

Highly recommended!…read more We travel the world 300+ days a year and we shoot pix of street art where ever we go. It's a rarity for us to find local area experts able to tell us the back story for works we spot. But this tour is an exception. Buenos Aires (B.A.), Argentina has a vibrant public art presence. Street Art is a reflection of the history, wealth or lack thereof, joy or strife and many other aspects of life in a given area. You'll find murals, smaller paintings, and graffiti in all 48 barrios. Each barrio has programs, some official, some not, to sponsor public murals on these buildings. The brutal military dictatorship that ran Argentina between 1976-1983 left the economy and country in disarray. Anger, strife and despair ooze through some works. Swaths of abandoned buildings in each barrio across the city cry out as evidence of a horrific past and end up the custodian of murals. But these murals only last so long -- old buildings are torn down every day. BA Street Art Tours will show you some of the biggest murals by international street artists like Blu, Fintan Magee, Alice Pasquini, Ren, Kiptoe and Quack Zean. Guides explain the growth of street art and graffiti in Argentina, the stories behind the artworks, different painting techniques as well as the political themes that stem from some works. BA Street Art was founded in 2009 and is closely connected to the street art scene. The support local artists and have organized and sponsored more than 200 murals in the city of Buenos Aires. Funds received from our tours also go towards funding future mural projects. Matt Fox-Tucker, principal at this business, is a professional writer and co-author of Textura Dos: Buenos Aires Street Art, a hardcover book available on Amazon. If you take this tour, you'll get Matt or Lucia or others they may mentor and delegate to from time to time. The tour will cover some of the street art on display in Textura Dos. We were fortunate to have Lucia as our guide for our tour. She's easy to spot: you'll see her grasping a copy of Textura Dos against her torso on this tour. But she won't open it -- she knows the back story behind the artworks backward and forward. She has the book with her to show you reference information. She's a personable and knowledgeable resource for you, the traveler. This tour is terrific. You'll find yourself torn between listening to your guide and trying to get unobstructed shots of artworks for the time available at each location. There's too much to see on this tour, and, in B.A. in general. You'll need several weeks in B.A. just to see many of the street art works. We snapped over 1,000 photos of street art during our stay in B.A. A few examples are below But if you're going to pick a street art tour in B.A., pick this one. They are professionals. Go and enjoy! p.s. We recommend Matt's book but have no affiliation with him or the sale of his book. We recommend simply because it is a solid report on street art in B.A. We were lucky enough to get Matt to deliver of copy of this book to us at our hotel, the InterContinental Buenos Aires, an IHG Hotel. Noto Bene! This business does not operate as a storefront. This is a home-based business. Thus, there is no address to visit to buy tickets. Tickets for a 2.5 hour tour cost about $22.

I have done the Heart of the City 5 hour bike tour twice: once with my husband when we first arrived in Buenos Aires, and once with friends visiting from California. My friends visiting from California for 1 week said this was the highlight of their entire trip! The Heart of the City 5 hour bike tour takes you on stops throughout San Telmo, La Boca, Puerto Madero, and the Micro Center (Plaza De Mayo.) If you do the 7 hour tour, that includes Recoletta. You also stop at a choripan food cart in Puerto Madero, and pass the Mate around (Argentinian tea) as you learn about the history of La Boca. Both times I've done the tour, Kaylee Ann was extremely professional, high energy, thorough, and spent the time educating my groups about Buenos Aires. This bike tour rally makes you get a better understanding about the culture and history of Buenos Aires. Kaylee Ann is an American living in Buenos Aires who has traveled all over the world and brings a unique global perspective to the tour. I highly recommend booking a tour with Biking Buenos Aires and asking for Kaylee Ann. It's a much better way to truly see and feel Buenos Aires biking through the barrios (neighborhoods) rather than sitting in a tour bus. It's also a great excursion to book if you have family or friends visiting Buenos Aires. Thank you Kaylee Ann for an amazing bike tour throughout Buenos Aires both times!

Walking tours are not his thing, but by the end of the tour, he asked if we could do the night tour of Recoleta the next day. At the end of our trip, he also said the walking tours were one of the highlights. Vicky was our guide for both tours, and she gave us a great introduction to the city and the life and history of portenos. This is not a fast-paced tour, so don't worry about keeping up with the group. The BA center tour was about 2.5 hours long, and the Recoleta tour about 2 hours. Vicky was animated and willing to answer any questions from her tour (no matter how silly). Make sure to find the green shirts and attend one of these tours! It will be well worth your time (but don't forget to tip)!

The staff is very friendly and spoke perfect English. The shop is nice inside. There is a coffee shop/restaurant across the street if you get there early and have time to waste. You need to be comfortable riding in traffic to do this tour. 95% of it was in bike lanes, but the rest was mixed with the cars. We received great information from Danny who lives in the city and has a passion for it. We stopped outside the Boca stadium, stopped in some pretty parks, the president house, the port area, San Telmo, La Boca, El Caminito Street. Danny even took us to a great empanada stand and it was fried deliciousness! Overall, a great tour and I highly recommend them.
