Things to do San Telmo Essential Free Tour: Tango, Market & Museums
We'll meet at Adolfo Alsina 400 (double-check apart from the app's map) at Basilica San Francisco de Asis, and we will also see the iconic Farmacia la Estrella, the oldest pharmacy in BA, then head to Convento Santo Domingo, where the English invasions occurred. We´ll see icons of Argentinean culture, such as “Mafalda” and the smallest house in Buenos Aires. Here we'll start the tango chapter of this tour, passing by the iconic tango bars "El Viejo Almacen" and "Michelangelo." Here we'll talk about the history and legends of tango since it's here where this wonderful dance was born. The mystique of tango lives in San Telmo. If you haven't decided which tango show to see, I can provide you with different options. Next stop is the museum of tunnels and the famous San Telmo Market, where we'll try the tasty dulce de leche. Then, we'll see San Pedro Telmo Church. In Dorrego Square, we'll see handicrafts and maybe see street tango dancers. Then at "Casa Ezeiza," the famous "casa chorizo" expression of the XX century European immigration, we'll imagine the first tangos danced here, and we'll say goodbye at the door of the incredible National Historical Museum.

“Great tour, very knowledgeable ”
We had a very interesting tour, and she was super knowledgeable; however, her microphone broke, which was a problem for my husband since he is hearing impaired. Otherwise, a great tour.

“Great tour”
I really enjoyed visiting the San Telmo area of BA. There is so much history, art and culture. There is good food and atmosphere. Our guide Magdalena was interesting, well spoken and informative.

“Very informative Tour through San Telmo”
The tour was very nice and informative. I wouldn‘t recommend it doing it on weekends cause of the crowds in San Telmo. It’s a mix of historical and cultural informations and Maggy could answer all incoming questions. At the end of the tour she offered some usefull recommendations. All in all it’s was a 9/10.

“A good mix about San Telmo neighbourhood offers ”
The cute characters from the comic strip, the architecture, the stories about the immigrants, and how families abruptly left their homes in San Telmo, an introduction about Tango & how it developed.
The information Maggie gave in each instance was detailed & interesting to hear.
We kept running into some other tour groups who also begin their walking tours of San Telmo, at approximately the same time. I would suggest starting the walking tour earlier, at between 10-10:30am
If the tour started a little earlier, it might be possible to take a quick look inside the church which was part of history when the British tried to invade Argentina. I had already visited some places in San Telmo, as my hotel was located on the edge of San Telmo, but nevertheless I still really enjoyed the tour, as there is so much to explore in the district of San Telmo. In conclusion, I would thoroughly recommend this walking tour to other visitors of Buenos Aires.

“Essential Tours in BA”
Magdalena was a very knowledgeable guide about the history of Buenos Aires. She took us to historical places that we would not have visited on our own, and we could hear hidden stories from her. She also gave us some great tips for restaurants in the San Telmo area. This tour is a very useful tour for understanding Buenos Aires.
