The Experience
Travel back in time to the era of the Argentine gaucho at Estancia Santa Susana, one of the most celebrated working ranches in the Buenos Aires province. Enjoy traditional folk music, gaucho horsemanship displays, a classic asado, and unlimited wine and empanadas, all set on a genuine 19th-century estancia rather than a recreated stage set. Runs Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. This is the experience we recommend for travellers who want a taste of rural Argentina without giving up a day of their Buenos Aires city time — the estancia sits within reach of the capital, making it a realistic full-day addition rather than a multi-day detour to the pampas. Families in particular respond well to the horsemanship displays and the informal, communal nature of the asado lunch. A private version can be arranged for groups who'd prefer their own table and pace rather than the shared group format.

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.
