The Century of Argentine Greatness
You'll discover how Buenos Aires' elite families actually lived — the salons, how they raised and educated their children, the households that ran behind these facades. It was an era when great fortunes were being built and put on display through architecture, brick by brick, exactly as was happening elsewhere in the world at the same time. That same pride, self-criticism, and strong character that defines Buenos Aires today didn't come from nowhere — it has an economic and social history behind it, and this walk tells that story.
This isn't an architecture tour — it's a country tour. Every palace, every embassy, every theater is an excuse to talk about something much bigger: how Argentina's public education system was built (and later tested), what it meant for public health to have hospitals of continental reference, where the massive European immigration wave that shaped porteño identity came from, and how an economy that was once among the world's most powerful left traces still visible in every façade. Architecture is the thread — what you'll really understand, walking these blocks, is Argentina as a whole: its economic history, its character, and why the country is what it is today.
Some of the main highlights — you'll see much more along the way
- Palaces — some now turned into embassies, luxury stores or museums
- Letters — bookstores, libraries and universities
- Art — in the streets and in its theaters
- History, Economics, Politics and High Society Gossip — from Argentina's boom years to Peronism, and its influence on society today
- Grand Avenues — tree-lined streets, shops, and the daily life of Buenos Aires that moves through them
- Hidden Corners — small streets, squares and monuments

The Founding South: Cobblestones with History
Until the late 19th century, San Telmo was Buenos Aires' most elegant neighborhood — until an epidemic changed everything. The families who left built the palaces of the north; the immigrants who arrived after built, cobblestone by cobblestone, the bohemian identity that defines the whole city today.
We walk through several streets along the historic axis of Buenos Aires' oldest neighborhood, the founding district of the city itself — several of them were the direct setting of the English Invasions, when Buenos Aires twice resisted one of the most powerful armies in the world. You'll understand why the same mansions that once belonged to Buenos Aires' aristocracy ended up turned into tenement houses packed with hundreds of immigrant families — and how that reinvention gave birth to the bohemian, artistic, multicultural San Telmo that exists today. We'll walk past centuries-old churches (one of them holding the remains of Manuel Belgrano, creator of the Argentine flag), the historic San Telmo Market, antique shops holding objects from another era, the city's oldest bookstore and pharmacy, and the Comic Strip Walk — plus hidden corners you only discover by walking slowly. This isn't just a picturesque neighborhood: it's the origin of Buenos Aires, witness to some of its most decisive moments.
Some of the main highlights — you'll see much more along the way
- Mansions and Tenement Houses — former aristocratic homes turned into living history
- Letters and Old Pharmacies — the city's oldest bookstore and pharmacy
- Art — the Comic Strip Walk and the neighborhood's street art
- Faith and History — centuries-old churches, one holding Manuel Belgrano's remains
- Market and Antiques — the historic San Telmo Market and its treasures from another era
- Hidden Corners — cobblestone lanes, hidden courtyards, and the setting of the English Invasions
Buenos Aires: 3 Branches of Power
In a single walk you'll cross the three branches that hold up the Argentine State — Legislative, Executive and Judicial — connected by an avenue designed to give the Republic its own stage. It's not just government architecture: it's understanding, in practice, how power is organized in a country.
This walk connects the National Congress, the Casa Rosada and the Palace of Justice — the three seats representing the balance of power in Argentine democracy — through Avenida de Mayo, the city's first planned grand avenue. Along the way you'll get to know historic cafés that were once centers of Buenos Aires' political and intellectual life, buildings with stories as curious as the Palacio Barolo (inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy), and you'll understand how these three institutions, separate yet physically connected by the same avenue, have held up the country's structure for over a century.
Some of the main highlights — you'll see much more along the way
- Legislative Power — National Congress and its square
- Avenida de Mayo — the city's first planned grand avenue, with historic cafés and singular architecture
- Executive Power — Casa Rosada and Plaza de Mayo
- Judicial Power — Palace of Justice and Plaza Lavalle
- Historic Cafés — witnesses to over a century of political and intellectual life
- Singular Corners — like the Palacio Barolo, inspired by the Divine Comedy
San Telmo Uncovered: Secret Corners & Learn to Make Empanadas
San Telmo is Buenos Aires' oldest neighborhood, and its best corners only give up their secrets on foot, with someone who knows exactly where to look. This walk threads through cobblestone streets and centuries-old buildings before ending with a hands-on class where you'll taste — and make — your own empanadas.
We start in the streets that gave Buenos Aires its first identity: San Telmo was originally home to the city's aristocracy, until a yellow fever epidemic in the 1870s sent the wealthiest families north to Recoleta, leaving behind a neighborhood frozen in cobblestone and nineteenth-century facades that the rest of the city grew up around. Walking its streets, we pass colonial-era churches, the iron-and-glass Mercado de San Telmo — still a working market today — and the Paseo de la Historieta, where bronze statues of Mafalda and other icons of Argentine comics sit on street corners waiting for photos. This is also antiques territory: the block-long Sunday fair is famous, but the real finds are in the permanent shops tucked into old houses, alongside some of the oldest businesses in the city — a historic bookstore, a working nineteenth-century pharmacy, and "bares notables," bars declared part of the city's cultural heritage. San Telmo is also one of the neighborhoods where tango first took root, in patios and academias whose stories still shape how the dance is talked about today. We close the walk with an empanada-making class: after tasting a few classic varieties, you'll get hands-on and learn to make your own, guided by someone who does it every day.
Some of the main highlights — you'll see much more along the way
- A Neighborhood Built by Aristocracy — 1800s buildings and churches, and how yellow fever sent the elite north to Recoleta
- Mercado de San Telmo — the neighborhood's historic iron-and-glass market, still active today
- Paseo de la Historieta — a walk past Mafalda and other icons of Argentine comics
- Antiques & Bares Notables — the city's oldest bookstore, a 19th-century pharmacy, and historic cafés
- Cradle of Tango — the patios and academias where the genre first took root
- Empanada-Making Class — taste a few classic varieties, then make your own, guided by a local chef
This tour is on foot. Round-trip transport from your hotel can be added on request.
Buenos Aires Through Time: The Classic Panoramic City Tour
Buenos Aires didn't happen by accident — it was built, layer by layer, by the people who arrived and stayed. This private panoramic tour traces that story from the colonial Cabildo to the pastel houses of La Boca, with stops at Plaza de Mayo, La Boca and Recoleta, moving through the neighborhoods that shaped Argentina's capital into what it is today.
Your driver-guide will pick you up directly from your hotel to begin a journey through Buenos Aires that unfolds chronologically, following the city's history from its colonial founding to its modern reinvention. The route opens at the Cabildo, the last standing building from the colonial era, just steps from the Metropolitan Cathedral, where you'll step inside to see its neoclassical interior and the mausoleum of General San Martín. From there, you'll stop at Plaza de Mayo — still the stage for the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo — to admire Casa Rosada, the seat of the national government. From the city center, the tour continues by vehicle into San Telmo, the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, with its antiques fair, market culture and deep tango roots. Next comes a stop in La Boca, once the city's first working port and home to generations of immigrants — today known for its colorful houses, the Caminito, and the Boca Juniors football club, with free time to walk Caminito and its surroundings. Back on board, the route heads to Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires' second port and now its most modern district, before continuing through Retiro and into a final stop in Recoleta, one of the city's most elegant neighborhoods.

Walls & Wine: Street Art from Palermo to Barracas
Buenos Aires has become one of Latin America's great open-air galleries, and this private tour — part vehicle, part on foot, so you can get close enough for the best photos — takes you from the trend-setting alleys of Palermo Soho to the working-class colors of Barracas, with the chance to meet the artists behind some of the walls themselves, before closing the afternoon with a wine tasting.
We start with the question most visitors don't think to ask: what actually is street art, and how is it different from graffiti or vandalism? From there, we walk the narrow, tree-lined streets of Palermo Soho, where in the last decade building owners began inviting artists to paint their walls — turning an entire neighborhood into a rotating outdoor gallery that now sets trends followed across the city. By vehicle, we then head south to Barracas, a working-class neighborhood with a very different texture, centered on Pasaje Lanín — a short residential street where every building was painted by a single artist, Marino Santa María, turning an ordinary block into one of the city's most photographed corners. Along the way, when timing and availability allow, we'll have the chance to meet one of the artists behind these walls in person, hearing directly from them how a piece came together and what it means in its neighborhood. We close the afternoon the way any good Argentine outing should: with a wine tasting, a moment to sit, reflect on everything we've seen, and toast to a city that keeps reinventing its own walls.
Some of the main highlights — you'll see much more along the way
- What Is Street Art? — an introduction to the movement, and how it differs from graffiti
- Palermo Soho's Colorful Alleys — the murals that have set the trend in recent years
- Pasaje Lanín, Barracas — an entire street transformed by a single artist's vision
- Meet the Artists — the chance to hear firsthand stories behind the work, subject to availability
- Closing Toast — an afternoon wine tasting to wrap up the day
