I can think of no better way to journey through the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires than with this full-day private walking tour—immersing you in the rich culture, history, and beauty of Argentina's capital city.
From the moment Tracy (and Osvaldo!) met us at our hotel, we knew we were in for a treat. Her passion for Buenos Aires was infectious, and her deep knowledge and expertise ensured that every step we took was filled with fascinating insights and hidden gems.
The tour was non-stop highlights as we explored the iconic neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, each with its own distinct personality. From learning the history of San Martin, viewing the Obelisco and Plaza de Mayo, visiting the colorful streets of La Boca, including tango dancers, to the elegant avenues of Recoleta, where we marveled at the grandeur of the Recoleta Cemetery, every corner seemed full of stories and opportunities for Tracy to reveal new aspects of this diverse city.
Throughout the day, Tracy went above and beyond to ensure that every moment was tailored to our interests and preferences. Her depth of knowledge was truly impressive, and her energy and enthusiasm never wavered, making the tour both informative and entertaining.
In addition to this fantastic day, I also need to mention how great Tracy was helping us to arrange other aspects of our first visit to Argentina! She was great at communicating, helped us with airport and other transportation arrangements, currency exchange, and other advice on things to do and see. We participated in a number of tours and ‘tourist activities’ during our visit to Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, and Mendoza, and our day with Tracy was simply the best.

I am 100% sure that if you spend a day with Tracy in Buenos Aires, you will fall in love with the place as much as I did! The old colonial buildings of Palermo, famous cemetery mausoleums of Ricoletta, colourful streets of Camenito and the white kerchiefs of Plaza de Mayo will take a new meaning beyond what the tourist eye can see.
Tracy is lovely, super-knowledgeable and very personable, and has a way of sharing information that is easy and engaging. Tracy's love and passion for the local culture and history is inspiring, it was great to see the city with her!
Highly highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much Tracy for an awesome day in Buenos Aires!

My wife and I very much enjoyed our tour, actually tours, with Tracy. A lovely young woman who clearly adores her adopted country, Argentina. Originally from Canada, she speaks both English and Argentine Spanish flawlessly. She knows Buenos Aires, both the history and the culture, with wonderful insights into what makes the city “tick”. A tango dancer herself, we enjoyed her perspectives on the dance, Milongas, etc.
The tour was thorough, starting in Recoleta, ending in San Telmo where our hotel is located. We requested to add an hour to visit La Boca and would recommend others do the same. Lots of walking and we were exhausted at the end of the day, but what we expected and worth both what we paid and the time/energy spent.
We also toured Tigre and the delta with Tracy. Another lovely day and the weather made it more so. Not as fast-paced as the day before, which was welcome. The driver Tracy typically uses, Osvaldo, was a charming and capable gent, whose company we also greatly enjoyed.
Communications with Tracy pre-tour were helpful to customize both days to our desires, but we made sure to trust her instincts about what we’d appreciate most…said trust was well rewarded. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending To Be in Buenos Aires and Tracy to others wanting to explore the wonderful city and environs of Buenos Aires,

Tracy was an amazing tour guide, so amazing we ended up booking another tour with her while in Argentina! She is so knowledgeable about everything Buenos Aires (it was impressive) and was able to answer all of our questions whether it be about food, trees, history or culture. We loved her laid back style and the way she worked around what we wanted to see and do! As a bonus…she was an excellent personal photographer for our family and took us to some delicious local restaurants and cafes. We would HIGHLY recommend her for any tour in BA! We had a seamless day and didn’t have to worry about anything… she had every detail worked out! My three teenage(ish) kids all said she was the best!

Tracy gave us an outstanding tour of Buenos Aires. It was a wonderful idea to start at the cemetery to give the historical background and an understanding of how the city and country evolved over time. She combined modes of walking, driving, and subway to experience most of the neighborhoods of the city. I can’t say enough about how fantastic this tour was and I highly recommend!!!

I was so lucky to be connected with Tracy via friend. She made everything so easy, provided us with a variety of excellent recommendations, detailed and tailored to unique interests. The walking tour with Tracy was fantastic!
I also had the peace of mind of being picked up from the airport and brought straight to my Airbnb.
Learning about the history of town, current affairs, what it’s like to live in Argentina was excellent.
Tracy went above and beyond with taking care of us. And to top it off I was honored to share a table at a Milonga the last evening we visited. Can’t wait to come back. 10 star review highly recommend!!!

"She's amazing! She knows more about Buenos Aires than I do!" A quotation from our driver regarding the superb Tracy who took us on two incredible tours in and around buenos Aires. Don't miss an opportunity to spend the day with her as she recreates the history of the city and famous Argentines from beginning to end. And her knowledge is indeed seemingly endless as well as delivered with a twinkle in her eye. We quizzed her on past and current events, restaurants, additional strolls, you name it! And the icing on the cake is that she is a tango dancer herself! Not only does she float through the streets, she can articulate the history and passion of the dance without one single step. Book it now!
