Tour description
Feel the passionate spirit of Argentina on a free walking tour through the historic heart of Buenos Aires. Alongside a local guide, stand in Plaza de Mayo before the pink Casa Rosada, where Evita once addressed the crowds, and admire the Metropolitan Cathedral. Stroll down the grand Avenida de Mayo past the legendary Café Tortoni, then wander through the cobblestone alleyways of bohemian San Telmo—the birthplace of tango. Hear stories of independence, immigration, and revolution, catch impromptu tango performances in the squares, and pick up insider recommendations for the best empanadas, dulce de leche, and steaks. Free to join—simply tip your guide what you feel it was worth at the end of the tour.
