Itinerary

Duration: 3 hours (approximately)
  • Obelisco (Pass by)

    Drive down Avenida 9 de Julio—often called the widest avenue in the world—and pass by the iconic Obelisco. Fun fact: this 221-foot monument was built in a record-breaking 31 days in 1936 to commemorate the city's 400th anniversary.

    Plaza de Mayo

    (Suggested Stop) Step into the historical and political heart of Argentina. You will stand before the iconic Casa Rosada (the Pink House) and envision Eva Perón delivering her legendary speeches from its famous balcony. We will explore the neoclassical Metropolitan Cathedral—former parish of Pope Francis—where your guide will lead you to the grand mausoleum of General San Martín, Argentina's most revered founding father and liberator.

    San Telmo

    (Suggested Stop) Travel back in time through the cobbled streets of San Telmo, the absolute cradle of Tango. Famous for its faded colonial architecture, bohemian atmosphere, historic cafes, and world-renowned antique markets. Your guide will share a fascinating piece of history: how the 1871 yellow fever epidemic forced the elite to abandon their grand colonial mansions. These became crowded immigrant tenement houses (conventillos), where the melancholic dance of Tango was born and evolved from the margins of society to the world stage. Since this is a private tour, we can pull over at any picturesque corner for photos.
