Personalized city tour of Buenos Aires (5 hours), where you can learn part of our history and enjoy the architectural legacy left by our ancestors, such as: Plaza de Mayo, the typical La Boca neighborhood, once the city's natural port, where in the late 19th century, a thriving and growing Italian community, predominantly of Genoese origin, began to settle; “Caminito,” a street declared a museum with its colorful houses; arriving at San Telmo, the oldest area of the city, and almost without noticing, passing into Puerto Madero, the youngest neighborhood where international cuisine restaurants abound. Continuing the route, we reach Recoleta, the most prestigious neighborhood for several decades, characterized by its old buildings that are a summary of European architecture from the last century, and its vibrant life created by both the locals and tourists strolling through its glamorous streets.
