About this activity

Discover Buenos Aires like never before with my exclusive and customizable 4-hour tour, designed for travelers who prefer to enjoy the city without endless shopping stops. This experience allows you to adjust the itinerary to focus on the places that interest you most. Admire the colorful houses of La Boca, explore the grandeur of Recoleta Cemetery (entrance not included), stroll through Palermo, and visit the Galileo Galilei Planetarium, where you can see and even touch real meteorites.

Throughout the tour, each place reveals details, stories, and nuances that are not always immediately visible. There will also be time to pause where the scene calls for it and capture it at its best.

A half-day at your own pace, where every stop has meaning and every image becomes a memory. The itinerary can also be fully tailored to your interests.
