A private walking tour of San Telmo is akin to a delightful dance with history and culture, with the city as your stage. It's where the cobbled heartbeats of Defensa Street harmonize with the lively symphony of San Telmo Market, and where the age-old whispers of the Parish of San Pedro Telmo echo amidst the neighborhood's lively hum.
This tour is a canvas where Plaza Dorrego paints vibrant pictures of local life, and El Viejo Almacén sets the rhythm of the passionate tango. The Museum of Modern Art weaves stories of innovation against the backdrop of bohemian charm, and finally, Lezama Park serves as the soothing, verdant crescendo of this immersive urban composition.
Each step in this journey is a unique note in San Telmo's enchanting melody.
