The tour was well organized, our guide Omar gave us excellent information on the geological background of the places we were visiting and was very kind and patient with the group. The road is bumpy and long, especially if you are sitting in the back of the van (if you get car sick easily maybe ask for a seat in the front next to the driver), but that is the nature of the territory. All in all AMAZING tour.”

“The wine experience was out of this world! Beautiful setting, incredible food and wine. The guide and driver were magnificent. However DO NOT book with GetYourGuide. It wouldn’t allow me to use Visa - only Mastercard. It transpires that Mastercard in Argentina uses the bank rate (approx 1000:1) whereas Visa uses the tourist rate (approx 350:1), therefore we ended up paying $150 USD per ticket instead of $50 USD Save your money and support this beautiful independent new winery and book directly.”

12.Food Tour in Buenos Aires City in Small Groups

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 72 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90

Spend about three and a half hours tasting Buenos Aires classics with a local guide such as Lara, Adrián, Laura, or Fabian. Expect empanadas, milanesa, Argentine beef, pizza, wine, coffee, and gelato, with walks through downtown. The format can lean toward a long meal at one restaurant followed by coffee and ice cream, rather than four separate tasting stops.

“I really liked this food tour. The tour guide, Lara, was very helpful. I appreciate all the history of the area she gave. I didn't know beforehand, but I was the only person to sign up. The tour company still went ahead and set up a guide for me rather than just canceling. That was nice and unexpected. One minor note though, tour does not end at starting point. It actually ended a little over a km away (at a fantastic ice cream shop). It worked out. Lara walked most of the way back with me and made sure I could find my hotel.”
