Aristocratic Buenos Aires

The guides are informative and have a great sense of humor, and they are local so they can give insider tips on things that might not be on the normal tourist circuit. There are two different tours: a tour of downtown and a tour of “aristocratic” Buenos Aires, which includes neighbhorhoods such as Recoleta and Retiro. The tours are free, but if you enjoy it tips are appreciated by the guides. Meeting Point: Plaza San Martin @ 5pm
