Effortless, Informative, and Intersting. - Having a private tour of Buenos Aires was wonderful. Our guide Ana was extremely knowledgeable about BA, and it's history, all the way to today's issues. Our driver Javier escorted us effortlessly throughout, especially in some of the worst traffic. The underground tour was an amazing look into Buenos Aires past, well worth seeing. Thanks Ana for such a great tour.

A wonderful taste of Buenos Aires. - We did an extensive tour of the city of Buenos Aires from the northern sections to Centro, San Telmo and La Boca. We visited, Eva Peron’s mausoleum in Recoleta Cemetery, the underground tunnels and selected the lunch option which was a buffet at Porteno. Our guide, Ana was knowledgeable, friendly, organized and gave us interesting background on the political situation in Argentina.

Outstanding tour of a beautiful city - We booked this excellent tour with PRIVATE TOURS after emailing back and forth with Carlos. We had two days in Buenos Aires before joining an expedition cruise and wanted to maximize that short period of time to enjoy the city. Carlos was professional and a pleasure to work with. We arranged three services with PRIVATE TOURS: 1) A private transfer from the international airport to our hotel in Buenos Aires; 2) Reservations for the La Ventana Tango Show with the optional dinner and private transfers. We really wanted to experience both Tango and folk dance (especially Malombo) in the same show and this selection was perfect; and 3) A tour of Buenos Aires (including the old tunnels) with driver and guide. He set up everything flawlessly and matched us with Fabio, an incredible driver for all the the transfers and driving plus our wonderful tour guide, Anna. It felt like we were experiencing Buenos Aires with friends. PRIVATE TOURS is dependable, very professional and communication is both prompt and thorough. Absolutely the highest recommendation!

City Tour Highly Recommended - Very informative tour. More information, both historical and cultural, than we could absorb as the tour guide was so knowledgeable. Both she (Andrea) and the driver (Fabio) were excellent. The tour also set us up for exploring the city in more detail ourselves.
