The Experience
A must for football fans: go behind the scenes at both La Bombonera and El Monumental, the legendary home stadiums of Boca Juniors and River Plate. La Bombonera, painted the club's blue and yellow and famously steep-sided to keep the noise trapped inside on match day, and El Monumental, Argentina's largest stadium and the site of the 1978 World Cup final, together tell the story of the fiercest rivalry in South American football. The tour includes both museums, the pitches, and the dressing rooms, with a guide who can explain why this rivalry runs as deep as it does. Runs daily except match days. A private version is available on request for guests who'd rather not join a mixed group, particularly useful around a match weekend when demand for this tour runs highest. Recommended even for travellers who don't follow football closely — the passion itself is the attraction.

Buenos Aires · Half Day
Panoramic City Tour
A classic introduction to the Argentine capital, covering iconic landmarks including the Obelisco, La Boca, San Telmo, Recoleta, and Puerto Madero from a comfortable coach. Daily morning departures make it easy to slot into any itinerary. Ask us about a private version of this tour, with your own vehicle and driver-guide setting the pace instead of a fixed coach schedule — useful if your first morning in Buenos Aires needs to flex around a late flight arrival or an early departure elsewhere in the city. The route still covers the essentials: the Obelisco at the symbolic heart of the city, the colourful tenements of La Boca, the cobblestones of San Telmo, the grand boulevards of Recoleta, and the modern docklands of Puerto Madero. For most first-time visitors, this is the single most useful few hours of the entire trip — it turns an unfamiliar city into one with a mental map, so that everything you do afterward has context.
Buenos Aires · Half Day
Premium City Tour
An elevated version of the classic Buenos Aires city tour with a smaller group, enhanced commentary, and a more curated route through the city's most iconic neighborhoods. We run this privately as standard: your own guide, your own pace, and a route we adjust in real time based on what actually interests you rather than a fixed script. If Recoleta's cemetery captures your attention longer than planned, or you'd rather skip a stop entirely in favour of an extra half hour in San Telmo, that flexibility is the whole point. Ideal for travellers arriving with some prior knowledge of the city who want depth over breadth, or for a first full day when a generic coach tour would feel like a step backward from the kind of trip you're planning. Most guests pair this with a specific interest — architecture, art, or the city's political history — which we brief the guide on in advance.

City Tour & Lunch at Puerto Madero
Combine a panoramic tour of Buenos Aires with a leisurely lunch at one of the city's most stylish waterfront dining districts. Puerto Madero's converted brick docks, now lined with glass towers and some of the city's best restaurants, make a natural final stop after a morning spent covering the more historic parts of town. We arrange this as a private experience with a driver-guide, choosing a restaurant that matches your taste — a traditional parrilla for a proper Argentine steak, or something more contemporary if that's the trip you're on. The pacing is unhurried by design: this isn't a tour with a lunch stop bolted on, it's a half-day built around the idea that a great meal is as much a part of understanding Buenos Aires as any monument. A good option for a first full day, or for an afternoon slotted between other plans.
