About this experience
Explore the iconic capital city of Argentina on this full-day walking tour of Buenos Aires, one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in Latin America. (The tour includes two taxi rides between locations.) Experience the faded grandeur of its colonial architecture, the bright colours of its contemporary street art scene, the charm of its cobbled alleys, the magnificent scenery, the street music and the Tango, as you also learn about its dramatic history with your private guide.
Visit the central and political hub of Plaza de Mayo - from which the city grew. Learn about Argentina's colonial past, military coups and political activism as you stand underneath Evita's balcony. Take in photogenic monuments like the Obelisco and Teatro Colon, and finally discover the beautiful Recoleta district with its famous necropolis; one of the most interesting and beautiful cemeteries in the world.
