Best way to get a feel for Buenos Aires
BetterThanBills, October 2026
We had the BEST time on our tour with Diego. He was so professional, insightful, and funny with us. Diego balanced sharing both local history and sharing about his own experiences living in Argentina and Buenos Aires. It made our experience much more authentic and charming. He took us to several great locations and was patient while I moved around taking pictures. We highly recommend Diego and will book with him again the next time we’re in Buenos Aires. Thank you so much, Diego!

Carlos, Borges, and the Soul of Buenos Aires
Ahmed_K, October 2026
I have travelled a fair bit over the years, but rarely have I encountered a guide quite like Carlos. To call this a city tour would be a terrible injustice. It was closer to spending an afternoon with Jorge Luis Borges, had Borges possessed a better sense of humour, a more cheerful disposition, and an encyclopedic knowledge of Buenos Aires. Carlos is a wonderful character. Warm, funny, immensely knowledgeable, and blessed with that distinctly Argentine ability to turn the most ordinary conversation into a philosophical reflection on history, politics, football, or the peculiarities of the human condition. One moment we were discussing the grand ambitions of San Martín, the next the enduring mythology of Evita Perón, and before long the ghosts of Gardel, Piazzolla, Maradona, and even the formidable Sarmiento had joined us for the afternoon. Buenos Aires is a magnificent city, full of contradictions. European grandeur and Latin American passion, faded aristocracy and revolutionary fervour, melancholy tango and the almost religious devotion to football. Carlos somehow makes sense of it all. He knows the buildings, the streets, the history, and, more importantly, the stories behind them. He speaks of his city with the affection of a man who knows all its flaws and loves it anyway. He is also a devoted husband and proud father of two children, one a musician and the other a high school student. I particularly enjoyed hearing about his family. There is something reassuring about a man who can move effortlessly from the political machinations of Juan Domingo Perón to the everyday joys and tribulations of raising children. At various points I half expected Julio Cortázar to emerge from a café, Mafalda to offer some devastating observation about Argentine politics, or Diego Maradona himself to appear and explain why the hand of God was, in fact, entirely justified. By the end of the tour, I felt I had learned more about Argentina than I could have from a week of reading history books. More importantly, I felt I had made a friend. Borges once wrote that every man should think that his own city is the most beautiful in the world. After an afternoon with Carlos, I am beginning to suspect that Buenos Aires may actually have a legitimate claim. Five stars seem rather miserly. I would happily award this man the entire Southern Cross. ¡Gracias, Carlos! May your mate always be warm, your asados plentiful, your children prosperous, and your beloved Buenos Aires forever as gloriously complicated as the people who inhabit it.

We enjoyed our tour of...
Deborah_K, October 2026
We enjoyed our tour of the city despite it being somewhat difficult to understand our guide. He had only recently learned to speak English. Our guide did spend several hours with us and showed us very cool areas of the city.
Response from the operator · ArgentinaTF
Deborah thanks so much for this beautiful review and also for trusting in us. It was a pleasure to share our beautifull City with you and your husband. Carlos is an amazing guide and we are so proud of him because is not so easy to learn a language at the age of of 48 years old. Maybe his inglish is not perfect, but he have made more than 1000 tours in inglish and this is the first time that they give him 4 stars. Thanks for your words, and we will let him know your words. To us, he is a 5-star guide, both for his knowledge and because he is an excellent person who accomplished something very difficult: learning another language at the age of 48. We are proud of him, and his children are proud of the father they have. Have a great life for you and all the people you love.
