Kevin was everything we could’ve asked for and more in a tour guide. He is such a kind person, which you can feel from him right away and he is also very knowledgeable! He was so flexible with our group and was always looking out for us on the bikes, and paid even closer attention to our daughter’s safety which was very much appreciated. I couldn’t recommend a better tour guide. Thank you Kevin!

It was such a lovely, wholesome and fun experience!! We were taught (very patiently) how to make empanadas and alfajores and they both turned out to be so delicious! It is quite an intimate and fun setting and I also learnt some interesting facts about way of life in Buenos Aires and the city’s history. Absolutely would recommend this!

Micaela was AMAZING. This is our first time in Argentina and Micaela was so informative. I know so much about this beautiful country. She was personable, patient, responsible and knowledgeable. If you get Micaela, you are in for a treat! I have no negative things to say about the tour. I could not find something to critique.
