Recoleta (Pass by)
(Suggested Stop) Welcome to the "Paris of South America." We will drive through the elegant avenues of Recoleta before having the option to stop at the famous Recoleta Cemetery. This spectacular labyrinth features over 90 vaults declared National Historical Monuments. Your guide will take you to Eva Perón's tomb, which is famously built like a nuclear bunker to prevent her body from being stolen again. (Note: Stopping is entirely optional. Admission tickets are extra). Capture unforgettable photos of the Obelisk, Teatro Colón, Casa Rosada (Pink House), Plaza de Mayo, and the Tango heritage in San Telmo and Caminito. Conclude your tour with an authentic and intimate Tango show in San Telmo

1El Ateneo Grand Splendid
(Suggested Stop) Prepare to be awestruck by what National Geographic officially named the "Most Beautiful Bookstore in the World." Housed inside a preserved 1920s theater, it retains its original frescoed ceilings and crimson curtains. Tango legend Carlos Gardel actually recorded in studios right in this building.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free -
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.

2Plaza 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.
30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3San 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.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free -
4Caminito
(Suggested Stop) Discover the vibrant explosion of color and art that is La Boca. We will stroll down the world-famous Caminito street, a true open-air museum bursting with bright, corrugated-iron houses. This unique aesthetic started when poor Italian immigrants built their homes using leftover scrap metal and paint from the nearby shipyards. Here, Tango is in the air. You will witness impromptu, passionate street Tango performances right on the sidewalks and admire local artists displaying their work. We will also see the exterior of La Bombonera, the legendary stadium of Boca Juniors and a temple of world football.
45 minutes • Admission ticket free -
Puerto Madero (Pass by)
(Suggested Route) Contrast the historic districts with the ultra-modern skyline of Puerto Madero. A unique detail about this upscale district: every single street is named after an important woman in Argentine history. We will drive alongside the renovated docks, offering stunning views of the sleek Puente de la Mujer (Women's Bridge) designed by the renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
Admission ticket free -
5San Telmo
Culminate your experience at one of the city's most historic Tango venues. This is a Broadway-level theatrical production. You will be mesmerized by a live acoustic orchestra featuring the "Bandoneón"—an instrument originally brought from Germany for religious music that found its true soul in the brothels of Buenos Aires. Watch award-winning professional dancers bring the absolute passion of Argentina to life on stage, all while enjoying a perfect performance. (Admission ticket and drop off included).
