Free walking tour Buenos Aires

I went on "Recoleta - History, art, and architecture of an emblematic neighborhood" walking tour with Agustín. It was am amazing experience, the tour was very informative, entertaining, with many stories he told us along the way. The way he built his tour you will get the whole picture of history and culture of Argentina, Buenos Aires as well as a real feel of the beautiful Recoleta. He grew up and lives in in this part of the city so you get and insider knowledge and views too. A big thank you to Agustín!

Alejandro was amazing! He was charismatic, engaging, and spoke fluent English. His personal stories about the city and its important figures, combined with the historical and architectural information he shared, made the tour feel very personal and memorable. I learned so much in just three hours, and I can vouch for the quality of this experience. I definitely recommend taking this tour, even if you’ve already seen all the stops on the itinerary, to enrich your historical knowledge of Argentina!

Today I joined a free walking tour of Buenos Aires through GuruWalks, led by our guide Martín, and it turned out to be one of the best introductions to the city I could’ve asked for. From the start, Martín brought Argentina’s complex history to life, blending politics, architecture, and local culture into a story that felt both personal and profound. His ability to connect the country’s turbulent political past, its highs and lows, to the evolution of its buildings and boulevards gave the city real depth and texture. Stops like the Congreso de la Nación Argentina and Congress Square became much more than postcard landmarks; they felt like living symbols of change and resilience. At the Barolo Palace, Martín explained how its design drew from Dante’s Divine Comedy, linking European literary ideals with Argentine ambition, a perfect reflection of Buenos Aires’ intellectual roots. Along the way, we passed the Obelisk, catching sight of it as we crossed Avenida 9 de Julio, famously known as the “widest avenue in the world.” The energy of the street, the buses, music, and café chatter, felt like the heartbeat of the city itself. We ended at the Casa Rosada, the iconic Pink Palace, where Martín tied everything together with stories of Evita Perón and the powerful figures who have shaped Argentina’s identity. Standing there in the fading afternoon light, I felt a genuine connection to Buenos Aires, its beauty, contradictions, and spirit. My only regret? Not having time to join the other two tours Martín recommended with his historian friends.

A brilliant tour around La Boca with Pedro. Pedro was so knowledgeable and informative. It’s such an interesting area, the people, the places, the fire fighters and of course the football! We would recommend to anyone staying in Buenos Aires

The tour was the perfect start for our holiday in Argentinia. Extremely informative and entertaining at the same time. We learned about history, people, habits and monuments and time flew by as San Diego knows how to tell a good story 😄.

Fantastic tour with Pedro. We saw local sights with reference to football, music and arts. Funny little stories and history explained along the way. Great recommendations about local food, drinks and shops.

We had a wonderful time exploring La Boca with Pedro, walking around the neighbourhood, understanding its history and the figures that have changed the course and the face of it. Pedro was deeply knowledgeable about his local area, knew plenty of the faces wandering around the place (which always is a good thing on a tour!) and helped us to understand the story of an area which has shaped a city, from its early incarnations to the modern day. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better tour. Thank you Pedro!

Pedro from the La Boca tout is really friendly and funny, and the tour alternates between anecdotes and stories about the neighbourhood's construction and its legendary figures. You can tell that he really loves this neighbourhood and the people who live there (he seems to know everyone!). I learned a lot and had a good laugh. The tour is long and well paced. I am not native of an english speaking country and I took this tour wondering if I would understand, yet even without being bilingual, it was very clear and interesting, and he repeats and rephrases clearly if necessary. Thanks again!
