Romantic, vibrant, colorful and passionate are just a few of the many words that can describe a culture as rich as the one found in Buenos Aires.

On a Free Tour in Buenos Aires, you will discover there is so much more to the city than tango, football, and meat. Start off at the Plaza de Mayo, the oldest square in Buenos Aires, and the scene of some of its most turbulent events and home to the “Casa Rosada” (the Pink House), where the President of Argentina lives. Here you can find the famous balcony from where Eva Peron addressed huge crowds. A visit to the immense Recoleta Cemetery is a must, if only to gawp at the decadent mausoleums of former presidents and famous Argentines. The vibrant and colorful neighborhood of La Boca is another highlight. Here you can also visit another Buenos Aires legend, La Bombonera football stadium. The Palermo neighborhood, the childhood home of famous author Jorge Luis Borges and now the hippest area of Buenos Aires, is another must-see. It’s impossible to get bored on a trip to Buenos Aires!

Gonzalo was super efficient at organising the tour and providing instructions for the meeting point and so forth. He's a really nice guy who cares about his hometown and delights in showing it to visitors.

Gonzalo was an excellent tour guide and provided a very interesting, informative and entertaining experience during our visit to the Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires.
We enjoyed the different stories, both inspirational and tragic, about the many important people who are laid to rest at the cemetery.
Gonzalo was able to weave together how some of the people in the cemetery were connected to each other, either in life or how they died.
I highly recommend this tour with Goanzalo.
