Our Buenos Aires Walking Tour is the best way to get to know the city!

Our tour is conducted on foot, as well as in public transport: the Metro and Bus.

We go in small groups of a maximum of 12 people in order to ensure a unique and personal tour.

We aim to take you to the most striking and interesting parts of the city in the most eco-friendly way possible, all the while showing you the true Buenos Aires of a Porteño.

You’ll learn the story of this striking building as well as explore its allegories to the Divine, and end our tour with the best 360° view in Buenos Aires from the top of the old lighthouse in the palace dome.
