4.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.”
