“The one to go if you only have time for one tour”
Santiago, the guide, not the Chilean capital lol, is great. He covers the important buildings and history of the city core, in a lively interesting way. He handles the relatively large group well. He also gives out a “cheat sheet” for Buenos Aires that contains a list of restaurants, cafe, museums, shows, etc, which is really helpful .

Tour was nice but quite large. There were groups not paying attention and carrying on their own conversations. I was disappointed that the guide didn’t stop it. But the guide was very informative and helpful otherwise. Recommended if you have time.

“Once I tried to leave a review here, but I couldn't”
After we booked his tour online, we received a message via what's app from Santiago to introduce himself and where we can find him on the day (wow, well organised!). So ....I sent a thank you message to his What's app (and I got his reply promptly. Wow, he's good!).
Hi Santiago, we joined your tour on Monday. Since then we tried your few recommendations, eg: Bellagamba Palermo (as you said a fantastic price, you can’t ever find anywhere else with their price and quantity), La Poesia (we’re here right now), Galeria Guemes (4000 pesos now) and we also exchanged $au to pesos at the place you introduced to us. I went to free tour site to leave a review, but days have past and couldn’t do it. Thank you again, this is the best “free” tour I joined so far. It was well organized, informative, professional, but entertaining. Thank you so much. M y T
People wear "free walking tour" T shirt, but they charge the set fee. I didn't like this idea. Santiago advertises "free tour" and it was. Of course, we, tourists appreciate good tours and their effort, and tip well! But I don't want a false advertisement. Santiago wasn't only demanding tips, but he also prepared "Santiago's personal Recommendations" copy to take with us. What a nice thought! Since then his recommendation copy is our bible! We're ticking off the list of recommendations one by one! I learnt a lot about Argentine's history and culture from this tour. Thank you, Santiago,

“Australians in Buenos Aires”
Me and my two friends were visiting Buenos Aires from Australia and decided to go on a walking tour. Santiago was very knowledgeable and gave us a fascinating overview of Argentina’s history and culture. Spectacular descriptions of the famous architecture and excellent tips of things to do and eat in Buenos Aires. Highly recommended.

This was an excellent tour and Santiago was a great guide. I only wish I had done this tour sooner. I learned so much. My daughters were entertained and enjoyed all the fun facts Santiago shared. The whole experience was educational and entertaining. He was so organized and timely and his English was excellent too. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed. I plan to arrange it for all my visitors in the future.

“Best Tour we've ever done!”
We joined Santiago's "Essential Tour in Buenos Aires for First-Time Visitors," and it exceeded all our expectations. It was hands down the best tour we've ever experienced!
Santiago is an incredible guide—informative, witty, and engaging. He has an impressive depth of knowledge and shared fascinating insights about the history, culture, and people of Buenos Aires. From religion to football, from politics to tango, Santiago left no topic untouched and always had the answers to our questions.
What made the tour stand out even more was his ability to weave serious topics with humor, keeping us captivated the entire time. It felt like exploring the city with a passionate local friend who genuinely loves to share his city’s story.
We couldn’t recommend this tour enough to anyone visiting Buenos Aires for the first time. Thank you, Santiago, for an unforgettable experience!

“Exploring Buenos Aires: A Journey Through History and Culture”
Our recent tour with Santiago through Buenos Aires was an eye-opening experience that really brought the city’s history to life. His anecdotes about various historical sites were informative, engaging and captivating. We delved into the significance of these places in shaping Buenos Aires' cultural, historical, social, and economic landscape, and it was fascinating to see how they continue to influence the city today.
However, we felt there was a missed opportunity to explore the stories of the Querandí people and their contributions to Argentine culture and tradition. Understanding their role could have added a deeper layer to our experience.
We are grateful for the additional suggestions Santiago provided on a piece of paper for further exploring the city. It’s clear that Buenos Aires is a treasure trove of stories waiting to be uncovered.
Muchas gracias por compartir con nosotros el desarrollo de Buenos Aires como ciudad, a través de las fascinantes historias que se esconden detrás de las construcciones que tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar.

“Super Informative”
These tours are the way to see parts of the city. You learn and see so much in a short amount of time and it's safe. If you speak English, only do the English only tours. 2 languages doubles the amount of time to tour the same thing.

“Great Tour”
Guide integrated a game into the Tour, that was fun. Little typical snack from Argentina at the end of the Tour. Good recommendation for Mate-Herbs and other Tours. I could also ask the guide a lot of questions which was nice.
One thing: Sometimes it would be good to stand in a place with shadow with the group at sunny days while explaining a building
Thanks for the great Tour! :)
